“A brave man helps. A coward just gives presents.”

Fairy Tale by Stephen King

March 23, 2023 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

I’m a big King fan: I have seen a few movie adaptations, would put “The Stand” on my list of top 20 books, and this is the 15th book of his I have read. This new edition to his pantheon caught my eye at the library and was hesitantly recommended by a friend who was already shin-deep into this book, but on the fence about it. Having finished it, I give it a resounding fist shake for an excellent premise but meandering execution. It’s a […]

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 […]

Adaptations of Classic tales

A Taste of Honey: Kamala Outsmarts the Seven Thieves ( by Rebecca Sheir

The Tale of the Unwelcome Guest: Nasruddin Teaches the Town a Lesson by Rebecca Sheir

December 16, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A few reviews back I wrote about another A Circle Round Book by Rebecca Sheir. Each one has been illustrated by different people. Therefore, that change might help you enjoy one over the other. But also, the flow and tone of the story is slightly different and that can help one’s enjoyment of them. The Great Ballgame was illustrated by Joshua Pawis-Steckley and is based on Native American mythology and culture. A Taste of Honey: Kamala Outsmarts the Seven Thieves (illustrated by Chaaya Prabhat) has […]

It’s not what you are but what you do

The School for Good and Evil Book 1 by Soman Chainani

September 26, 2022 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

Cbr14bingo Question (Bingo)— How did I not know I had this book? Why did it take me so long to finally read it? What do “good” and “evil” even mean? Looking over my bookshelves as I often do figuring out what to read next, this book, which I think has been there for years, recently stood out because I recognized it as the title of a movie coming out on Netflix in October. I have no idea how I came to be in possession of […]

Your Favorites Can Still Write Stinkers

Fairy Tale by Stephen King

September 14, 2022 by Jake 3 Comments

Read this as part of CBR14Bingo: heart. One of the characters has a heart attack, won’t say which one. Also, Stephen King is a writer who has my heart. I love his books but this one was bad. I don’t really know where to start with how much I did not enjoy this book. And I feel terrible for that because I love Stephen King and appreciate what he is trying to do: rewrite beloved fantasy tales as a means of pandemic escapism. But ugh, this is […]

A Wee Slip of a Tale

A Mirror Mended by Alix E. Harrow

August 3, 2022 by MG Dietzel Leave a Comment

Bingo square – Adapt/Camel – Classic retelling with characters adapting left and right I love Alix E. Harrow. I read everything she writes and it is all pretty fantastic, including this one. But this series is annoying me because each novella is so short! Why is it not just one novel?? Ok so technically this is the second book in her Fractured Fables series, which is a great concept but it feels like the publisher is really milking it to make these all come out […]
