How Dinosaurs Went Extinct: A Safety Guide by Ame Dykman

February 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Did you ever wonder how dinosaurs went extinct? Well in How Dinosaurs Went Extinct: A Safety Guide you will learn all the horrible things they did (or did not do) that made them go kaput! Like picking their nose and eating the boogie. Like never changing their underwear. They went extinct because they were not looking both ways. They liked butting things with their heads and not wearing helmets. And they never cleaned their rooms, so they got squished! Wait? You mean that is not […]

“You put dinosaurs and people together, you always get screaming.” (Bingo)

Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor

November 8, 2022 by Malin 1 Comment

CBR14 Bingo: Time (the whole book is about time travel to different points in Earth’s history) Dr. Madeleine “Max” Maxwell is recruited by the seemingly rather mundane St. Mary’s Institute of History, only to discover that they are actually a secret organisation that time travels to various points in history, for research purposes. Obviously, you can’t just throw anyone into a time machine and have at it, so there’s a lot of training. Then there’s the fact that time travel is rather dangerous, and she […]

The Fossil Whisper: How Wendy Sloboda Discovered a Dinosaur by Helaine Becker

June 17, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Kids can do some fair out stuff. Like find fossils of dinosaurs. Well, at least Wendy Sloboda did (the Wendiceratops), and we see how in The Fossil Whisper: How Wendy Sloboda Discovered a Dinosaur. As you will learn later in the book, she does more than that. Finding some of the most information fossils and information the field has ever seen, she did most of it in her own backyard (or the Canadian Badlands, or not too far from where she grew up).  And Helaine […]

I am big and still learning

When I’m Big by Ella Bailey

June 10, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I might have read When I’m Big by Ella Bailey at least once before. However, I do not remember. And therefore, it was a brand-new read, even though the book came out October 2021. And while I will say, Bailey’s story is not my cup of tea, it will be a lot of people’s book of choice. The idea is simple, a little dinosaur has big dreams of growing up. And the story takes them from their nest and familiar egg (shell) to the big […]

The Lost World by Arthur Conan

The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle

April 28, 2022 by MarkAbaddon 1 Comment

As a huge fan of Doyle, and knowing the influence this book has had on fantasy, I saw an edition of The Lost World from a printing in the early 1970s at a used book store and immediately purchased it. Oy, what a mistake. I am aware that Holmes has been accused of being misogynistic and there are elements of racism within those books but man did Doyle let his id out of control in this novel. I literally hated every single one of these […]

The Champion

“Slavers, dinosaurs, and mummies, oh my!”

The Champion by Taran Matharu

August 28, 2021 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

I picked up the first book in this series on a whim, not sure what to expect, but the history geek action-adventure with a scifi twist hit the exact right note for me. And this final book in the trilogy is no slouch in terms of any of that! Cade, Amber and Quintus (and the rest of the teens) have had a short reprieve after defeating the Hydras, but Abaddon isn’t done with them yet. But Cade’s darkest moment yet leads to the startling revelation […]
