Well, at least the bear was cute

Hello, Tiny Bear by Yusuke Yonezu

Going Home by Seymour Chwast

May 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

My round up of books that should be talked about, but are not for me, is below. Both were read via online reader copies, and both are future publications. The first is Hello, Tiny Bear. At first, I was okay, Yusuke Yonezu made a cute bear cub as their main character. I then saw that it was a board book (or would be, remember online reader copy, due late August/early September 2023). And I was, “Okay I am not a toddler; therefore, this simple text […]

The Hobbit: The Graphic Novel by J. R. R. Tolkien

November 14, 2022 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

I have never really had an interest in reading J. R. R. Tolkien, simply because if you can make as many movies from one series (Lord of the Rings) as it has had, and I know that a lot of what is in the novel is taken out, I am thinking they are not for me. However, I do know that The Hobbit is a bit shorter, and since it is just one novel, I thought maybe I could tackle it. It wasn’t until I […]

Always bring a ferret on your road trip

Fearless: A Graphic Novel by Kenny Porter

June 20, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I like the illustrations of Fearless: A Graphic Novel by Kenny Porter. However, the story? Not so much. The fact best friends are growing apart is fine. I can get behind that. It is the theme of many going into middle school story. But it was what one of those best friends did afterwards that was unbelievable: On the first day of school, she runs away, tries to bike two towns over (where her friend moved to over the summer) to find her best friends’ […]

When I Was a Pirate by Tom Silson

May 13, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

You can take When I Was a Pirate with you can take this book with a shot of rum and coke and say it is a true whale of a tail. Or you can believe that the grandfather has had some far out times in his life.  I mean, does the grandfather in the story tell the truth? Was he a grand old pirate in his youth? (Tattoos seem to confirm this.) Or is he just diving deep into a bit of exaggeration?  I would […]

Brina the Cat Volume 2: City Cat by Giorgio Salati

November 4, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Brina the Cat Volume 2: City Cat has cute chapters of solo stories tied together for the crazy adventures of a cat named Brina. This Italian Secret Life of Pets by Giorgio Salati is slightly mature and immature at the same time. All ages can read, but some of the stories are a little “intense” (the mature) as Brina goes missing, or the rats have kidnapped her, and there is a possible ghost. But also, there is a child-like humor and innocence to it as […]

A cat and three girls decided to have a couple graphic novels made for them…

Cat & Cat Volume 1 Girl Meets Cat by Christophe Cazenove

Cat & Cat Volume 2: Cat Out of Water by Christophe Cazenove

Super Sisters by Christophe Cazenove

October 12, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The team of Christophe Cazenove and William Maury have created the series Cat and Cat, the series Super Sisters, the (regular) series Sisters and the Sea Creatures series (which I have not found/read yet and has different illustrations). When reading Cat & Cat Volume 1 Girl Meets Cat and Cat & Cat Volume 2: Cat Out of Water, I did not realize Super Sisters was by the same people. And of course, the same happened with Super Sisters. I figured the similar feel to the […]
