Oh My Gods! Volume 1 by Stephanie Cooke and Insha Fitzpatrick

by Leave a Comment

Did you think Percy Jackson was a bit stiff? No sense of humor? Too focused on Greek Gods and Goddesses as old fuddy duddies? Then you need Oh My Gods! Volume 1. Stephanie Cooke and Insha Fitzpatrick created a graphic novel that has a little fun while, actually giving you a little about the Greek Gods and Goddesses of mythology. Only, this time they are real, and most are going to school on Mt. Olympus. When Karen’s mother has an opportunity to have her dream […]

I figured the similar feel to the […]

At first, I thought, “Sounds fun.” Then, “Huh, what’s going on?” And “This is slow reading.” With, “Oh, yeah digging this, getting meaty.” Along with several, “If this was fiction nobody would allow such a stereotype!” And finally, “Well that was a ride. And that afterwards was a good roundup.”   Our narrator, Cookie is “the lucky one” of her […]

What Goes Up by Christine Hepperman

by Leave a Comment

What Goes Up by Christine Hepperman is about the why and how a night that was one huge mistake came about. It is written in a prose poetry format. I will leave it up to you if you think the actions of the narrator fit the “crime” that started it all. (This is not a Mystery Book, but the narrator does treat the events that she learns of to justify her own actions as if “two wrongs make a right”). Our main character shows you […]
