You’re a wonder, Wonder Woman

Stories Change the World: I Am Wonder Woman. by Brad Meltzer

February 23, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Wonder WomanWonder WomanAll the world’s waiting for youAnd the power you possess   Brad Meltzer has several series about famous people for the young reader. One of the most recent is Stories Change the World: I Am Wonder Woman. And there are I Am Superman, and I Am Batman as well. (I am hoping to see some Marvel people, but I do know the two schools are very separate). These books are longer picture books with colorful “bubble art.” They are like Calvin and Hobbes […]

August 15, 2021 by Dome'Loki 2 Comments

CBR 13 Bingo: Rec’d – I’m reading this series because of teresaelectro’s recommendation!

Their costumes are made of cardboard, but their hearts are made of gold

The Cardboard Kingdom V02 Roar of the Beast by Chad Sell

July 30, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr13bingo Gateway  (This (so far two book) graphic novel series is one that I am not a huge fan of, but I know they are good for today’s readers. They introduce modern subjects (GLBTQ related) but also the classics like bullies and friendship issues. I recommend this to both starting in the genre of graphic novel and one if you’ve been into GNs for a bit).   The Cardboard Kingdom V02 Roar of the Beast is: a graphic novel. It is a colorful graphic novel at […]

The book Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn sitting on a wooden table top with a leafy plant behind it.

So much fun it helped with my reading slump!

Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn

June 9, 2021 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

Fellow Cannonballer, Teresaelectro, first brought Heroine Complex to my attention.  Then it was a featured book title for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Mysterious Galaxy.  I was about to go and to pick up May’s book order, when on a whim I called and asked if Heroine Complex was in stock.  It was and I purchased it over the phone, to bring home with the books that were waiting at the store. Due to events this year, I have found reading to be […]

Are You Super?

Pizazz by Sophy Henn

January 13, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Pizazz is a novel for the adult but a normal one for the ages it is geared to. It is aimed at strong first grade readers but probably best suited for the second to third/low fourth grade reader. (Or ages strong 6 to young 10). There is a mixture of text and illustrations. Having a reader copy, I am not sure what the result of the illustrations will be as currently they are black and white. But due to the cover’s comic book looking colors, […]

Mockingbird Volume 1: I Can Explain by Chelsea Cain and Kate Niemczyk

Mockingbird Volume 2: My Feminist Agenda by Chelsea Cain

September 11, 2020 by pixifer 1 Comment

I first read Marvel’s 2016 Mockingbird series in 2017 and immediately fell in love with it. The pandemic has had me down and with the 100 degree days keeping me trapped at home, I needed a pick-me-up. Mockingbird, the smart-ass, smart as hell, feminist superhero, came to my rescue.  Mockingbird Volume 1: I Can Explain start with S.H.I.E.L.D agent #19 Barbara “Bobbi” Morse, aka Mockingbird, being called in for a medical check. Bobbi was previously exposed to a combination of Super Soldier Serum and Infinity […]
