Burn It Down: Rigsby WI Volume 2 by S. E. Case
A year ago (March 2025) Rigsby WI by S. E. Case came out and March 2026 Burn It Down: Rigsby WI Volume 2 came out. Flux: Rigsby WI Volume 3 will be out in 2027 and I’m hoping that means volume four is in 2028. Of course, I want all the stories for each character now, as I’m not happy that I have to wait a year for book three, let alone until 2028! You see, I became invested in the four main teens/friends of […]
Unretouchable by Sofia Szamosi
While looking at online reader copies that were new to the site I use, I found Bad Kid (a Graphic Memoir): My Life as a Troubled Teen by Sofia Szamosi. It said it was a companion to Unretouchable. Which, of course, meant that if I wanted to read Bad Kid, my brain said, you need Unretouchable. Therefore, off to the library I went to pick up a copy via interlibrary loan. Szamosi discusses the beauty industry and how she is both part of and wants […]
Kraft & Mod (Courage) by Trine J. Cederlof
4.5 stars Nowhere Book Bingo 26: A Middle Grade Book Defeat the Goblin TBR: The Shiny book (added in December 2024) Disclaimer! The author is a friend of mine, but my opinions are my own, and I bought the book with my own money (because friends make sure friends get royalties). As part of the peace agreement between the Green Shores and the Blue Mountains, Prince Mirounga (called Miro), nephew and heir to the king of the Green Shores, is sent into fosterage to the Blue Mountains. […]
Someday Perfect: (A Graphic Novel) by Kat Schneider
Someday Perfect: (A Graphic Novel) by Kat Schneider Simple presentation, but it has deep questions. Lovely illustrations. Not for everyone (due to the religious aspects) but most can find something to enjoy. I would say at least 12 and up, but younger children could handle it if they are strong readers. There is some talk of sexual activities, the use of the word sl-t and the body shaming that comes with a patriarchal philosophy. But overall, it was tastefully done. It wasn’t a ‘WOW’ for […]
When the Mapou Sings by Nadine Pinede
When the Mapou Sings by Nadine Pinede is a romantic telling of a young girl learning her real place in the world through a perhaps lesser-known piece of history. A bit fanciful at times, and the ending a bit too convenient, but overall well done. A solid 3.5 for the rating and I will be looking for more by this author, but that might be awhile as this is their debut prose poetry novel. Lucilles’s (the narrator and heroine of our story) journey seems as […]
Everyone Sux But You by K. Wroten
I am assuming the K. Wroten of Everyone Sux But You, is the same author as Cannonball, which I read back in 2019. The odds are they are the same person, but if not, my apologies. However, the feel of both books and the art style do say they probably are created by the same person. Now, do not get me wrong, I liked this book. However, it reminded me of a lot of things I have already read. Therefore, there was nothing New and […]
