Dear Dragon: A Pen Pal Tale by Josh Funk

January 5, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Dear Dragon: A Pen Pal Tale is a book that is on sale. And if you wish to read, this book by Josh Funk, I say don’t be a punk and go forth and do so! You will be happy and look like a pro. Okay, that is the last rhyme I will do (or at least for a time). This picture book came onto my radar when I learned that Josh Funk was having the book Dear Unicorn (illustrated by Charles Santoso) published in […]

One of my favourite book club picks of the year

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

December 31, 2022 by Malin 4 Comments

Viv the orc barbarian has had enough of the adventuring life and leaves her band of fellow warriors after one last battle with a particularly challenging monster. Instead of fighting, she dreams of taking all her savings and putting them towards a business of her own. In the city of Thune, she plans to open a cozy little shop, selling something called coffee. Turning a worn-down livery stable into a pleasant café isn’t exactly something Viv’s warrior training prepared her for, but she manages to […]

Get your D&D on

Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club V01: Roll Call by Molly Knox Ostertag

December 26, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I started Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club V01: Roll Call awhile back. I then put it aside as I was trying to read it online (and as you know, my phone is not friends with online formatting). Not only was my phone slow and dragging, but I was also not able to see the images clearly or in a larger format. Therefore, unless you have a SCREEN to view things on, then this might be best in the physical form. And the physical form is […]

Special relationship

Bailey and the Blanket by Emily House

December 26, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am fairly certain I have read Bailey and the Blanket before. Perhaps I have not reviewed Emily House’s book here, but even if I have, every time you read a book you find something different (or I do). Or your feelings change as you are in a different mindset or have had new experiences since then. Of course, you could also feel the same way as you did the first time. That is the magic of a book. You never know where it will […]

The good and not-so-good seasons of life

The Seasons Within Me by Bianca Pozzi

December 23, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am mostly sure I have read The Seasons Within Me before. I do not, however, think I have reviewed Bianca Pozzi’s story before. This book was read via Edelweiss and due April 2023 Now, even if I have reviewed this book before, I was in a different frame of mind. It is a few days before Christmas, I am trying to keep my happy on (why I have a bowl of Grinch poo on my desk), and I was in a mood where though […]

This is a Poem That Heals Fish by Jean-Pierre Simeon

December 23, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A perk of my job is to see the books ordered by customers as I process them. I had seen the title This is a Poem That Heals Fish on the list to be ordered and was thinking it was going to be odd.  And when it came in, I gave it a small peek. Yes, it is odd. But Jean-Pierre Simeon’s work is more than just odd. It is a poem within a poem within a poem (I think I captured all the layers). […]
