Don’t read and eat

Vulture View by April Pulley Sayre and Steve Jenkins

by Leave a Comment

Do not read Vulture View by April Pulley Sayre and illustrator Steve Jenkins while eating lunch. Even if it is a nice, tame dish of shepherd's pie (just hamburger, corn and lots of mashed potatoes). While there is nothing grotesque about the images of Jenkins, it was shall we say the idea of their … [Read more]

by Leave a Comment

Destiny Ink: Sleepover Surprise (Volume 1) by Adeola Sokunbi is a fun story about worries and friendship. It has cute images accompanying the familiar and fresh take on the theme. The end. The thing is, this is a quick read for the adult reader. There is not a lot of meat to the potatoes, but … [Read more]

I don’t know who wandered more: the book or me writing this review

Tongues, Volume 1 by Anders Nilsen

by Leave a Comment

Tongues, Vol. 1 by Anders Nilsen   I have NO idea what was read. The stories all bounce all over the place. The images are busy, the text mixes and gets lost in the illustrations. The images are colorless but are not black and white. The characters are unlikable, even Astrid, who might be … [Read more]

2 Dumb Dinos by Nathan Hamill and Eric Filipkowski

by Leave a Comment

The abstractness of jokes (makes no sense, with no punchline) of 2 Dumb Dinos, will hit the right reader, but it was not my cup of tar (pit). Do you Nathan Hamill and Eric Filipkowski and I hope you find the right audience. To help you do so, let me mention some things about the book. I read via … [Read more]

My Mom Only Sells Fans (Inappropriate Children's Stories) by R. Moneymaker

by Leave a Comment

I am an adult. At least, physically. Mentally (depending on the day) I am too young to even know about, let alone read, My Mom Only Sells Fans (Inappropriate Children's Stories) by R. Moneymaker. Therefore I can honestly say, I have not read it. Instead, I had it read to me by rsullivan1991 on … [Read more]
