Why does Superman always get top billing?

Superman's Good Guy Gang by Rob Justus

by Leave a Comment

Perhaps I should not admit I read something like Superman’s Good Guy Gang by Rob Justus as it is, well, a bit on the less than mature side. This is not for the adult reader who likes a more sophisticated book, but if your child (or you) are a typical five to eight-year-old who has a slightly goofy sense of humor and likes superheroes then this is for you. So, in other words I will admit I read it and say I know there’s an […]

He’s a Cat. He’s a Man. He’s Cat Man.

Cat Man by Parari

by Leave a Comment

I expected Cat Man by Parari to be totally different from what it was and exactly what it was. However, I assume that it would be a one Cat story. Meaning, there would only be one cat character trying to make it in the human world. The one character who is an “oddball out” or the one who feels like they don’t fit in and wants too, while everyone else seemingly has their litter boxes in order. The main character I assumed would be a […]

How are these characters not obese and suffering from malnutrition?

Buzzword Title Challenge 25: Event Buzzword Cover Challenge 25: Food or drink Maddie and Theo are both best friends with Alexa (from The Wedding Date). Despite what the blurb tries to tell you, they are not enemies, they just dislike each other because of some unfortunate first impressions. Maddie thinks Theo is a pompous nerd who looks down on her for her career choice, while Theo thinks Maddie is shallow, fashion-obsessed and mean. After a night out, they drunkenly kiss each other and end up […]

Scythe & Sparrow by Brynne Weaver

Buzzword Cover Challenge 25: Transportation Doctor Fionn Kane is doing just fine in the little Nebraska town he retreated to after leaving his promising surgical career and ex-fiancee behind. He doesn’t really want anything to do with the past-times of either of his brothers and is keeping his head down, running and working out when he’s not working in his small medical clinic or the hospital. He also crochets. Then a beautiful woman with a severe leg injury ends up nearly unconscious on the floor […]

We’re best friends! And cats. And vampires.

Two Vampire Cats by Jannie Ho

by Leave a Comment

I have wanted to read Two Vampire Cats by Jannie Ho for about two weeks now. Or ever since I saw the advanced reader copy I found. It is a silly book about two vampire cats, a ghost and their town. For the adult reader there isn’t a lot of bite, but for kids it is worth the reading trip. This is for about ages 5 to young 8-9. It works as a read aloud or a first solo read with help, and the older […]

Out of this world pizza and more

Pizza Witch by Sarah Graley and Stef Purenins

by Leave a Comment

Inclusion, CBR17 Pie Chart Challenge I find books mostly as reader copies and finished copies. Now, I try to have the reader copies physically in hand (it’s easier for me to read) but sometimes (and a lot more lately) I must settle for an online reader copy. And Pizza Witch by Sarah Graley and Stef Purenins came to me in an email that sent me to the graphic novels link to read. Due in mid September 2025, you’ll have a bit to wait before you […]
