Under the Red Hood goes under the hood

Batman: Under the Red Hood by Judd Winick

March 30, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

What seems like forever ago now, I watched (and loved) the animated movie based upon this particular run of Batman comics. I didn't even realize at the time that it was pulled directly from the comics, since I was used to the Marvel method of comic book moviemaking, which generally is to hodgepodge … [Read more]

book cover of "A Christmas Party" by Georgette Heyer

Like a Hallmark Christmas movie but playful and there’s a murder

A Christmas Party by Georgette Heyer

March 30, 2022 by auntadadoom 3 Comments

I had read a couple of Georgette Heyer's romance books -- Frederica is a favorite -- but A Christmas Party is the first mystery of hers that I've given a try. It's solid! As the book opens, Joseph Herriard is busy preparing the house for a Christmas party. It's not his house -- it belongs to his … [Read more]

Gwendy’s Final Task

Gwendy's Final Task by Stephen King

March 30, 2022 by Classic 2 Comments

The only reason why I am giving this a grudging two stars is because of the Easter eggs to other King works. If not for that, this would barely get a 1. What kills me with this story honestly is that if you have not read the Dark Tower, Castle Rock books, and IT you are going to be totally lost. I … [Read more]

We have become a place of long weeping

Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse

March 29, 2022 by Emmalita 6 Comments

Black Sun is one of those books that for some reason I don't read because I know I will really like it. And then I finally read it and I'm mad at myself both for not reading it sooner and also for having read it at all because now I'll never read it again for the first time. My brain is a weird … [Read more]

Another book with an interesting concept that meandered aimlessly and ran full steam ahead into despair

Anthem by Noah Hawley

March 29, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

The summary of this book may sound morbid, and it may be odd that it drew me in, but here we are.  I like a mystery. Here is what my library's audiobook / ebook app had as a synopsis: Suddenly and without precedent or explanation, something awful has been happening to teenagers across the globe, … [Read more]

Before he rumbled in the Bronx, wore a tuxedo and voiced a monkey

The Rise (and Falls) of Jackie Chan by Kristen Mai Giang

March 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Rise (and Falls) of Jackie Chan is one of my favorite picture books that I have read, or at least, read this year. Kristen Mai Giang’s picture book highlights the life of the actor Jackie Chan. It is humorous, informative, and inspirational. From a poor child living in an ambassador’s home, … [Read more]
