A (not so humble) brag: This 2025 book has made my 10th Cannonball.

Stalactite & Stalagmite: A Big Tale from a Little Cave by Drew Beckmeyer

October 24, 2024 by BlackRaven 4 Comments

I did not think Stalactite & Stalagmite: A Big Tale from a Little Cave was going to be interesting when I first saw the cover (though it is due in March of 2025, I was able to have an online reader copy.) Being overly cute and cartoonish, I was eh… but also thought that I should not judge a book by its cover and give Drew Beckmeyer’s book a chance. And I’m glad I did, and you should too. I recommend going to your local […]

Race against the tide

Crystal Cave (Sueño Bay Adventures, Volume 5) by Nancy Deas and Mike Deas

October 11, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

For the most part, you can read Crystal Cave (Sueño Bay Adventures, Volume 5) by Nancy Deas and Mike Deas separately from the others in the series. However, I am assuming it probably is best to start with book one, Shadow Island (I wasn’t sure who/what the pet/friend of our main character was). The story itself is not necessarily a new one, but it is told in a fun way that keeps you reading. Good illustrations and a nice fantasy/mystery/realistic story. The idea is that […]

Book 2 of the Casey Duncan / Rockton stories. Did I start at book 1? Silly question!!

December 19, 2017 by kfishgirl 1 Comment

Just in case I didn’t get around to mentioning it – as you can see by the picture I attached, this is an audiobook!  This is one of those audiobooks where I don’t want to get out of the car when I get home, because I want to keep listening.  I’m glad my car has this “anti-asphyxiation” feature (I named it that just now) where you can turn the car off (say if you’re sitting in your garage), but the radio / CD player keeps […]
