Only reason this book is not a 5 is because I was looking for something different with the illustrations

The Dark Matter of Mona Starr by Laura Lee Gulledge

January 20, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Dark Matter of Mona Starr is not something you can really tell what it is about by the cover. I figured she might be into science or going to take a poetic journey. Instead, it is a book about one girl dealing with the Matters of her life: or the depression she is facing. Laura Lee Gulledge does not want to make it easy on you, she hits you right out of the gate, but it is not all “doom and gloom.” There are […]

“I actually look for things to smile about.” ~ Dr. Ruth

Roller Coaster Grandma: The Amazing Story of Dr. Ruth by Dr. Ruth Westheimer

November 5, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have a little soft spot for a sassy, Jewish-German doctor by the name of Dr. Ruth Westheimer. The fact that she was a bit controversial at the time (gasp! She’s talking about S-E-X!) flew over my head. But when a customer ordered two different books by Westheimer, I was interested. These were children’s books. What could she talk about? The first, was a picture book that I never looked at (Crocodile, You’re Beautiful! Embracing Our Strengths and Ourselves), but quickly skimmed Roller Coaster Grandma: […]

Two different books creating feelings

I'll Be the Water: A Story of a Grandparent's Love by Alec Aspinwall

Crying is Like the Rain: A Story of Mindfulness and Feelings by Heather Feinberg

November 4, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Two interesting books, but not enough for me to find the word limit for each solo, therefor I am going to do “two books one review” for these little numbers. The connection I find with both titles is that they both have a somber theme and/or feeling to them. I’ll Be the Water: A Story of Loss, Greif, and a Grandparent’s Love is obviously about the loss of a beloved grandparent. However, it is also a hopeful story. We see all the wonderful things that […]

A mistaken identity that leads to ones true identity

Ana on the Edge by A. J. Sass

October 30, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When I saw that I could request a reader copy of Ana on the Edge by A. J. Sass, I figured, “Why not?” As worse case would be I do not like the story and passed it onto a coworker who might.  Lunch reading was slow going, so I decided to take it home and try and give it a longer at a time reading stretch. Unfortunately, that did not work out, as I needed to excuse myself for a two-day hospital stay. I did […]

Ever read a book that makes you hurt? And you’re not sure if that’s a bad thing?

Joe Quinn’s Poltergeist by David Almond

October 15, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Ever read a book that makes you emotionally hurt, but you are not sure if in a good or bad way? Happens every so often to me. And when it does, I know I have either read one of the most amazing things ever, or the biggest piece of crap ever written. Joe Quinn’s Poltergeist by David Almond (with illustrations created by Dave McKean) was one of those books. I was a bit confused about the theme of this book due to the fact you […]
