Guess my house is named Priscilla

A Home Named Walter by Chelsea Lin Wallace

April 5, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Walter is a home. Or Walter was a home in A Home Named Walter. Well, he still is a home, just after his beloved family has moved out, he allowed himself to get rowdy, squeaky, rundown and dried up. One day a new child and her mother move in. Not only does the girl think this new situation feels “off” and “different,” so does Walter. He does not allow them to bake cookies in the oven, or he will slam the shutters closed. But with […]

With the One Fox Band

Paul and His Ukulele by Robert Broder

February 8, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The story to Paul and His Ukulele was, eh. I was thinking, “Okay, but now what?” Robert Broder made a quaint story of a fox named Paul, and the journey his takes to grow up. He meets many people along the way, enjoys dense woods, deserts, and more. Even when he sets up a shop and meets Clementine I was, okay, nice, but not my kind of ukulele tune. When I realized the author is the same as Crow and Snow, I realized that they […]

Classic Book + Angsty Teen = Not Worth It

The "Wonderful" Wizard of Futher-Mucking Oz by Matt Youngmark

October 31, 2021 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

The “Wonderful” Wizard of Futher-Mucking Oz By Matt Youngmark   I’ve had this in my TBR Amazon cart for a while, and lo and behold, on Prime Day it was on sale!  Used, but that’s ok.  (Even more ok – it’s signed by the author!)   This is not the most original of books.  A foul-mouthed teenager gets transported into a book and must play out the story in order to escape it and theoretically go home.  Our foul-mouthed teenager is Arabella Grimsbro, our book […]

Wedding belle

Once Upon a Wedding by Nancy Millar

October 24, 2021 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

Last year I read a graveyard themed Nancy Millar history book (Remember Me as I Pass By) and this year I turned to something lighter, a book about weddings in western Canada. Like Remember Me, Once Upon a Wedding is armchair-light history, a brief romp back through western Canadian weddings from the 1800s through to the 1940s. Millar’s eye is drawn to newspaper announcements of weddings, old family photos and heirloom wedding dresses, and I once again did a lot of googling to see if […]

CBR Bingo- What does home mean?

Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire

Down among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire

October 24, 2021 by persnickety chick 1 Comment

This fills the Home square of the CBR Bingo card quite nicely! It’s taken me a long time to get around to reading the Wayward Children series and i actually started with book 2- Down among the sticks and bones. Wayward children is about a school/home for children who have been “taken into fairyland”. There are many lands, all of them different from outs. There is a rough schematic of how these worlds fall relative to each other- between logic and nonsense and virtue and […]

“I go to the grave shared by my father and Jimmy. The question I get most, the one I hate, is why I went into his room. And why I helped people. Again and again, ‘Why did you do it? How?’ The answer is, How could I not?” (Bingo#1)

All the Young Men: a memoir of love, AIDS, and chosen family in the American South by Ruth Coker Burks, Kevin Carr O'Leary

September 23, 2021 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

I read a lot of memoirs; I love listening to someone tell me their story. All the Young Men tells Ruth Coker Burks’ story as a young single mother in Hot Springs, Arkansas, who finds herself driven to the forefront of the AIDS crisis and becoming an activist in the fight against AIDS. Coker Burks story starts in the way that I think many of us hope we would respond – while visiting her friend recovering from cancer surgery, she notices nurses drawing straws to […]
