I third this fairy tale self aware fun

Cursed Princess Club v.1 by LambCat

February 5, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I saw Cursed Princess Club v.1 on a shelf and thought it looked interesting but left it there; then I was reminded of this title by a fellow Cannonballer, and decided that maybe I wanted to pick it up. Turns out I didn’t remember which store I’d seen it in, so I ordered it, then saw it on the shelf again two days before I got it. By this point, there was a second review. I agree with both of them. The art style is […]

Dragon Hoops by Gene Luen Yang

December 29, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

This was very wholesome. I have been a fan of Gene Luen Yang’s work for a while now, and I try to read all of his graphic novels (I have given up on his superhero comics work; there is too much of it). So when the Read Harder Challenge said I had to read a nonfiction YA comic, I was excited to finally be able to fit this one in. Dragon Hoops is a memoir of Yang’s time shadowing the Bishop O’Dowd High School basketball team […]

I might change the title of this review when I either remember it or find my notes for this really cool line I wanted to use

Emmie & Friends Truly Tyler by Terri Libenson

December 22, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Truly Tyler in the Emmie & Friends series might be my favorite of the group. I have enjoyed the others by Terri Libenson, but after a bit it felt like I was reading the same one over.  This time we are focusing on a side character who is male. In the author afterwards, Libenson mentions how this was for them, among other fun facts. We follow two of the characters, Tyler and Emmie (switching between their points of view) and see how the same situation can be […]

Lily Renee, Escape Artist: From Holocaust Survivors to Comic Book Pioneer by Trina Robbins

October 18, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A while ago, I think I saw this book on a list of World War two books. Or maybe it was books about women. At the time it did not seem interesting to me, so I quickly forgot it. Later I came across from it and for some reason was compelled to do an interlibrary loan request for it. I know I was not sure what it was about (okay, so the title should have given me a clue, but even then, nope. Nothing. I […]

There Is No Such Thing As Bad Hair

Frizzy by Claribel A. Ortega, Rose Bousamra

October 18, 2022 by KM Bezner Leave a Comment

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book via BookishFirst in exchange for an honest review. In a coming of age graphic novel reminiscent of The Prince and the Dressmaker, Supper Club, and As the Crow Flies, Claribel A. Ortega and Rose Bousamra deftly and beautifully tackle the injustice surrounding politicized appearances through the story of Marlene and her family. Marlene has spent her whole life hearing about good hair and bad hair…and her hair is, of course, bad. Meanwhile, everyone else around her, […]

The Kolchak Papers: The Original Novels by Jeff Rice

The Night Stalker … In Print

The Kolchak Papers: The Original Novels by Jeff Rice

October 13, 2022 by xoxoxoe Leave a Comment

I like to find the original literary sources for movies that I like (see past reviews of Strangers on a Train, Rosemary’s Baby, Breakfast at Tiffany’s), so I was happy to find out that an old television show from my childhood, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, actually started life out as a book. The Kolchak Papers: The Original Novels includes the first two novels that introduced intrepid reporter Carl Kolchak, who has a flair for detecting the supernatural. They first debuted in 1970 and are now […]

  • Leedock on Because when women understand chemistry, they begin to understand how things work.Soooo much better!
  • narfna on We are women without a voice…We are women out of time and place, without even the language of the country we reside in.Everything I hear about this makes me want to read it more. I've heard the audio is great, that's probably the route I'll go.
  • narfna on Because when women understand chemistry, they begin to understand how things work.The author hates the cover, too! I, like you, judged the book by the cover and was wrong. The British one is much better. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QJVdPaRWL.jpg...
