Dear Dragon: A Pen Pal Tale by Josh Funk

January 5, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Dear Dragon: A Pen Pal Tale is a book that is on sale. And if you wish to read, this book by Josh Funk, I say don’t be a punk and go forth and do so! You will be happy and look like a pro. Okay, that is the last rhyme I will do (or at least for a time). This picture book came onto my radar when I learned that Josh Funk was having the book Dear Unicorn (illustrated by Charles Santoso) published in […]

The book, "Guards! Guards!" by Terry Pratchett standing in front of the Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook and Monster Manual.

This Discworld book has been recommended for D&D players so I finally checked it out.

Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

November 30, 2022 by Dome'Loki 2 Comments

Nearly twenty years ago I gave Pratchett’s Discworld books a chance.  I had a long commute and been gifted audiobooks of the first few books in the series.  I listened to about the first three books and then decided they weren’t for me.  They felt gimmicky with a focus on clever ways of saying modern things without using current words.  For some reason, calling popcorn ‘banged grains’ sticks out in my memory as an example.  But over the years I kept seeing the devotion readers […]

The book, "Of Dragons, Feasts, and Murder" by Aliette de Bodard standing next to an almost complete book bingo card.

Tasty bite of fantasy with fallen angels and shifters with a setting drawing from Vietnamese culture. Bingo #7!

Of Dragons, Feasts, and Murder by Aliette de Bodard

CBR14 Bingo: “Elephant” – There’s a metaphorical elephant in the room, no one seems willing to discuss how the system of repressing people’s freedoms is causing the rot at the heart of the dragon empire. First of all, thank you, Emmalita, for bringing this to my attention.  You were right, I did enjoy it and it’s the perfect length for this stage of the bingo game!  Of Dragons, Feasts, and Murder is a novella set after the events of de Bodard’s “Dominion of the Fallen” […]

I liked it, even though it could use more dragons

A Natural History of Dragons, A Memoir by Lady Trent by Marie Brennan

October 1, 2022 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

CBR BINGO: Monster, because there be dragons in here! BINGO: Rec’d, Monster, Verse, Bird, Time First of all, I love this image on the cover. The idea of a naturalist who studies dragons is appealing to me, as someone who a) enjoys naturalist memoirs and b) enjoys fantasy. The marriage of science and fantasy appeals to my nature, and I was very excited to read this book. And, I enjoyed it. But I didn’t love it as I hoped. A Natural History of Dragons is […]

Ooh boy. I wanted to love this so much, but it made me very angry.

When Women Were Dragons by Kelley Barnhill

July 28, 2022 by kfishgirl 7 Comments

I think this is my first ever Cannonball book that I DID NOT FINISH.  I saw this book somewhere (I legit have no idea where), and it caught my eye because the main character is named Alex Green, and also duh – dragons.  My cousin who lives in Arizona who just left Pennsylvania after visiting our entire family is named Alex Green.  I was pumped when I read the plot too. Whoo boy.  I borrowed this audiobook from the library, and I was so excited […]

Spirits and animals of the immortals and two tough girls

Sea of Shadows by Kelley Armstrong

Empire of Night by Kelley Armstrong

Forest of Ruin by Kelley Armstrong

July 28, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

I can’t remember how I found this trilogy, but I borrowed this first book from my library as an audiobook.  The narrator had an awesome voice and read the story really well.  It’s amazing how a narrator can make a book so much more enjoyable. Anyway, I LOVED this series. We start out visiting a group of prisoners who are being banished / exiled to the forest of the dead.  We’re not really sure what that means, but we know it’s bad.  Ronin is the […]
