One Red Thread: A Story of Connection by Lindsay Ward

May 15, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

One Red Thread: A Story of Connection by Lindsay Ward (author and illustration, read via an online reader copy, due September 2026) has everything I dislike about a book. It is too sweet, too cute, too happy-joy-joy, too kumbaya-yah. And yet, while it was too much for me, I think this book has great potential for all ages, including adults. And, for some reason, despite my dislikes I really liked this book.  The illustrations are cute, simple but are not lacking. I like how the […]

I read a little bit

Pockets for Two: A Collection of Girlhood by Lindsay Ward

Beneath by Cori Doerrfeld

Hedgehog and the Art Show by Ozge Bahar Sunar

October 19, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Okay, this might be a surprise, but I read a little bit. In fact this should be such a shock to you that if you did not fall down laughing, you are not paying attention. Seriously, I like books. I like sharing books and I will share three with you. Disclaimer: even if the book is out, I read all as online reader copies.  Pockets for Two: A Collection of Girlhood is a sweet story about the magic of pockets, treasures and special friendships. Lindsay […]

Those Crayons You Never Used in the Box are Just as Important as the Rest

This Book Is Gray by Lindsay Ward

December 31, 2020 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

This Book Is Gray by Lindsay Ward My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a fun read aloud for kids and adults. There’s a lot of layers to the story. There’s a lesson in primary and secondary colors which leads to acceptance of others tied to fitting in. All of this is wrapped in humor that adults will appreciate more than the kids they are reading this too. All in all an enjoyable experience. Gray is feeling left out. All of the colors are […]

    As opposed to NON-skin covered finger bones? Just naked flesh? What even is this?

    I was agog after reading that sentence. Could not read on for five minutes. I mean, wtf.

    “Skin covered finger bones”—that’s hilarious. This was a very satisfying review.

    And adding French word s here and there to remind us they’re in Quebec so I have to translate but...

    on These (Slow) Burning Stars
    No heist, but it still feels a little heist-y due to some heist-adjacent action.
