Papa’s Magical Water-Jug Clock by Jesus Trejo and illustrated by Eliza Kinkz. When Little Jesus can finally spend time with his father on the job, he knows it will be fun. What he does not realize that is he is going to misunderstand his Papa’s words about how that water […]

One Sweet Song by Jyoti Rajan Gopal

American Desi by Jyoti Rajan Gopal

by Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport author   The funny thing is, “sweet” does not always do it for me (unless it is a donut or chocolate). However, once in awhile a book that is sweet gets me in the feels. That is because it is sweet but not overly, sickening sweet (like three York peppermint patties and a mug of hot chocolate). And One Sweet Song falls in the former sweet category. Rhyming text takes us through a neighborhood when one person, while sitting on a balcony, plays a […]

Have a cup of tea? Don’t mind if I have three

The Tea Dagon Society Book One by K. O’Neill

The Tea Dragon Festival #2 by K. O’Neill

The Tea Dragon Tapestry (Tea Dragon, #3) by K. O’Neill

by Leave a Comment

I have the goal of reading all of K. O’Neill’s works. It has been a little tricky as they have gone by at least Kate O’Neill and Kay O’Neill as well. But with the finishing of the third book in the Tea Dragon Society series, I might have made it. This is a big deal as (until a few years ago when posthumously her second book came out) Harper Lee might have been the only author with that honor. I came to The Tea Dagon […]

Saga (Volume 9) by Brian K Vaughan

by 2 Comments

Back again with another Saga installment! I can’t believe I’m almost finally caught up. What a roller coaster this series is. I saw that when this series first came out, it was billed as “Star Wars meets Game of Thrones” and I give two thumbs up to that comparison. The only thing I would clarify there is that it’s less “Star Wars meets Game of Thrones” and more “Game of Thrones set in a Star Wars-ish Universe” because every other volume has it’s own Red […]

Suit up

Mama’s Sleeping Scarf by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Nwa Grace-James

Patchwork Prince by Baptiste Paul

by Leave a Comment

Sometimes the smallest thing, like a piece of cloth can do big things. And these two books have that theme in common. I do not know about you, but my mother had a couple items of clothing that I associated with her. Now, I didn’t use one of them to feel closer to her when she would leave, but I understand Chino and her bond with her mother and needed the sleeping scarf. Chino’s mother must have her sleeping scarf, with its bold colors and […]

Food for the eyes

Feast of Peas by Kashmira Sheth

by Leave a Comment

When reading a couple books at lunch I notoced a theme. Food. I guess I was hungry to devor a good book (or two) as well as a good sandwhich (which was so-so, had too many red onions, but the books were tasty). : In Feast of Peas, our main man Jiva looks forward to a feast when his garden peas are ready for the picking. Unfortunately, when it is time to pick, they have disappeared! And nothing he does will stop the mysterious thief, […]
