It is the Reviews of the Series. Or this is a review about different series.

Anzu and the Realm of Darkness by Mai K. Nguyen

One Cool Duck V02 The Far-out Fort by Mike Petrik

August 29, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

It is the Reviews of the Series. Or this is a review about different series. Each one has its own quirks (good and bad) but all have that little something that fits the right reader. Maybe one is for you! The first book is more for ages 10 to younger 13, but adults might appreciate it as well. However, if you go younger, just know your reader as some illustrations and concepts are not for sensitive readers. And the second book is for about kindergarten […]

July 24, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

4.5 stars CBR15 Bingo: History (set in an alternate history, in the Victorian era) 15-word review: Introverted lady scholar goes to fictional Iceland to research faeries, followed by her handsome colleague. Official book description (because I finished this at the start of May): Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is […]

Two beginner reads your your beginner reader

Mossy and Tweed: Double Trouble (I Like to Read Comics) by Mirka Hokkanen

The Lost Mitten (I Like to Read Comics)  by Jannie Ho

July 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A while back I saved the online link to Mossy and Tweed: Double Trouble (I Like to Read Comics) by Mirka Hokkanen. Then I needed a quick read at lunch recently. I found my saved link and read a cute story about the “new unicorn in town” who is “better and flashier” and all that jazz. Of course, in the end the Old Wise Unicorn needs to save the day and the two Unicorns become friends. The adult reader will see that Old Wise Unicorn is not so […]

Some princesses, a prince and a bear go on an adventure

 Swan Lake: Quest for the Kingdoms by Rey Terciero

July 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr15bingo Politics: two rival kingdoms are pitted against each other due to lack of understanding and greed There are way too many references to modern ideas, not to mention Swan Lake and Tchaikovsky in the graphic novel, Swan Lake: Quest for the Kingdoms.  But that is part of its charm for adults. For the 10 and up crowd, it is a funny, interesting story that mixes in friendship and assumptions and sword fights together. Combining all the fantasy and science fiction elements (I can make a […]

I believe in mermaids and sister-cousins

My Cousin's Mermaid: A Story from Poland by Anna Staniszewski

July 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr15bingo Europe I saw it in a catalog. I saw it online. I was thinking it was a, “I probably should read this” book, but maybe not right away. Then my book dealer hooked me up with a sample copy of My Cousin’s Mermaid: A Story from Poland. It was now time to read (except I had to actually work and not have fun by reading. A drawback to getting your book fix sent to you at work).be Anna Staniszewski took the legends, folklore and stories […]

Queer as Folk(tales)!

Tales From Beyond the Rainbow by Pete Jordi Wood

June 14, 2023 by cosbrarian Leave a Comment

In pursuit of the idea that queer people have always existed (and therefore will persist), Pete Jordi Wood has put together this gorgeous collection of folk and fairy tales that earlier folklorists chose to “clean up” or dismiss. TALES FROM BEYOND THE RAINBOW: TEN LGBTQ+ FAIRY TALES PROUDLY RECLAIMED is a darling little book with big important stories. While earning his folklore degree, Pete found a Danish folktale “The Dog and the Sailor” that felt undeniably queer. He self-published his translation of the tale, and […]
