Do you know the Muffin Man? Well it won’t matter after Godzilla gets done with the fairy tale village!

Godzilla Stomp! by Katherine Locke and Nikolas Ilic

June 11, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Now, I’m that person that roots for the bull instead of the cowboy in bull riding. I love watching the golf ball spin aaaroooound the hole and not go in. I will cheer for the curling kettle to “go go go! Aaaand out of bounds!”  So it should come as no surprise that I will have a hearty hurrah when it comes to movie monsters. And I have a soft spot for Godzilla. But not in Godzilla Stomp! by Katherine Locke. You see, Locke’s Godzilla […]

Pride and Reading

What Are Your Words?: A Book About Pronouns by Katherine Locke

Prince & Knight: Tale of the Shadow King by Daniel Haack

Julián at the Wedding (Julián, #2) by Jessica Love

May 27, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Pride Month is right around the corner. And thought I could easily write 250 words for each of the below picture book, I like have this longer collection as each one touches on a different aspect of pride and the GLBTQ+ community. Both for the picture book crowd (with some exceptions) and adults, these are books that should be put on your radar and TBR lists.   What Are Your Words?: A Book About Pronouns by Katherine Locke and Anne Passchier (illustrations): This is a […]

A delightful YA Jewish short story collection

It's a Whole Spiel: Love, Latkes, and Other Jewish Stories by Katherine Locke and Laura Silverman

January 3, 2021 by bonnie Leave a Comment

What does it mean to be Jewish? I have never contemplated this question, because I am not Jewish. But I am trying to read about diverse faiths and cultural perspectives, particularly when they intersect with other identities. It’s a Whole Spiel caught my eye at my library (which is now open for limited in-person browsing, thank goodness!), and I was happy to devour it over this weekend. This anthology of short stories features all kinds of Jewish voices and perspectives, from people who are culturally […]
