It is the Reviews of the Series. Or this is a review about different series. Each one has its own quirks (good and bad) but all have that little something that fits the right reader. Maybe one is for you! The first book is more for ages 10 to younger 13, but adults might appreciate it as well. However, if you go younger, just know your reader as some illustrations and concepts are not for sensitive readers. And the second book is for about kindergarten […]

You Wish Volume One by Jeff Victor

by Leave a Comment

I was browsing through my online reading links and found You Wish Volume One. Only I did not realize it was volume one. It looked like a one time graphic novel story. But nope, there will be more. How many I am not sure, but since it is a series probably more than I want to get into as I hate waiting for sequels! But since this Jeff Victor series is not starting until January 2024, I will have a loooooooong while to wait for […]

Two beginner reads your your beginner reader

Mossy and Tweed: Double Trouble (I Like to Read Comics) by Mirka Hokkanen

The Lost Mitten (I Like to Read Comics)  by Jannie Ho

by Leave a Comment

A while back I saved the online link to Mossy and Tweed: Double Trouble (I Like to Read Comics) by Mirka Hokkanen. Then I needed a quick read at lunch recently. I found my saved link and read a cute story about the “new unicorn in town” who is “better and flashier” and all that jazz. Of course, in the end the Old Wise Unicorn needs to save the day and the two Unicorns become friends. The adult reader will see that Old Wise Unicorn is not so […]

 Swan Lake: Quest for the Kingdoms by Rey Terciero

by 1 Comment

cbr15bingo Politics: two rival kingdoms are pitted against each other due to lack of understanding and greed There are way too many references to modern ideas, not to mention Swan Lake and Tchaikovsky in the graphic novel, Swan Lake: Quest for the Kingdoms.  But that is part of its charm for adults. For the 10 and up crowd, it is a funny, interesting story that mixes in friendship and assumptions and sword fights together. Combining all the fantasy and science fiction elements (I can make a […]

A sleepy independent boba café, a not so sleepy secret

Super Boba Café V01 by Nidhi Chanani

by Leave a Comment

A fun story that ends a smidgen abruptly was what I felt about Super Boba Café V01 by Nidhi Chanani.  However, this is (as the volume one notes) a graphic novel which is the first book and you know that there will be more to come because of that. Not to mention the very last page has that “dun dun dun” ending where, “That’s all … for now … Folks!” should be added. If you want to find out what that ending is, you need to […]

Tin Man by Justin Madson

by Leave a Comment

I was looking at some online reader copies the other day. I found one by Justin Madson. And I then saw they had a first book, Tin Man. Or maybe it started another way.  I am not sure, because I do not remember even seeing the book that made me want to request this book from my library.  But regardless of how it happened to be found, I found myself with a copy of the Tin Man graphic novel. When reading about it, I was […]
