You Had Me at Braineater

Braineater Jones by Stephen Kozeniewski

January 24, 2023 by Melina 2 Comments

Braineater Jones (as he calls himself), has a problem. He woke up dead in a swimming pool and he has no idea who he was before he was undead. He also doesn’t know why he’s undead and why there are a whole bunch of undead people around these days…these are just some of the many mysteries that our self-described private dick has to tackle. Taking place in the 1930’s this is a fun little play on a noir novel as Jones deals with the “dames”, […]

Cats and their Owners

What's Michael?: Michael's Album by Makoto Kobayashi

What's Michael?: The Ideal Cat by Makoto Kobayashi

What's Michael?: Off the Deep End by Makoto Kobayashi

January 25, 2019 by Ale Leave a Comment

I have a hard time with graphic novels, particularly Japanese manga. I’ve never quite been able to figure out why, but they’re difficult for me to follow and I tend to get lost easily. A friend of mine loves manga and suggested I try the “What’s Michael?” series as an intro since I’m an avid cat lover/owner.  And seriously, who wouldn’t want to look at fun stories about cats? I’m happy to say these were a delight. There’s not a direct story line to our […]

Boogie your Wiggle and Wiggle your Boogie

Monster Boogie by Laurie Berkner

September 8, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

First, I am not a Laurie Berkner fan. Yet, Monster Boogie is a real treat. You do not need the music or a CD of Berkner signing or playing the music for you to enjoy it. As you read out loud you will fall into a natural rhythm of a song. You will love the bounciness to the words and will have fun. Therefore, this is not a before bedtime story. It would be great for a preschool classroom. The illustrations by Ben Clanton are […]

The Pressure to Pun is Too Much, so no pun.

An Affair to Dismember by Elise Sax

February 1, 2018 by NTE Leave a Comment

It’s going to be hard to review An Affair to Dismember without saying in the vein of Janet Evanovich, because that’s one thousand percent true, but it’s also so trite – it is literally on the book cover, and the Amazon review I saw of the series that made me click on the free Kindle link.  Which is kind of annoying, because they’re definitely right: I mean there’s for sure a Stephanie Plum, Bobbie Faye, name your favorite screwed up, clueless, somehow still manages to […]

You’re gonna miss each and every shot you can’t be bothered to take

Hawkeye, vol 1: My Life as a Weapon by Matt Fraction, David Aja and Javier Pulido

August 11, 2016 by Malin 3 Comments

4.5 stars I didn’t know a whole lot about Hawkeye outside of the Marvel comic book movies, where he’s clearly an excellent bowman and reclusive family man, but also Black Widow’s wise-quipping sidekick. I’ve heard good things about Matt Fraction’s run on this comic for years, and since it was on our shelf, this summer seemed like the right time to finally check it out. I’m so glad I did. Full review on  my blog.
