Get your D&D on without D&D

Legends & Lattes V01: A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes by Travis Baldree

Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins: Volume III by Jody Houser

by Leave a Comment

If you are looking for a couple of books that allow you to get your D&D love on, but are not D&D, there are two books (well one book and one series) that can work. The first, is a novel that has been getting much attention. And I understand why Legends & Lattes V01 is a hit. Travis Baldree made a story that captures the elements of fantasy, humor and romance in a package that allows it to be accessible to non-readers and readers of […]

Snuggle up with Godzilla and friends

Love from Godzilla by Olivia Luchini

by 2 Comments

Love from Godzilla by Olivia Luchini is due late December 2023-early January 2024, but I was able to find an online reader copy. And I am terribly glad I did. It was a rough start to the day that I saw this goofy kaijus, on a hot pink cover. And it was a bit of a sugary book, it was also the pick me up I needed. I am not a cryptic kind of person usually, but I do like them and sometimes something “hits” just […]

Five Nights at Freddy's: Fazbear Frights Graphic Novel Collection #1 by Various

by Leave a Comment

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Fazbear Frights Graphic Novel Collection #1 is a modern day R.L. Stine (a much more mature Goosebumps meets Fear Street). It is spooky, creepy, and clever. I am not sure why people like the games/videos/etc. (as I have never interacted with them, and only in the last year or so have heard of them due to my older nephew having gotten into them. Which trust me I really am unsure of why as this is not usually his thing), but this […]

It was the best of books, it was the worst of books

Zerocalcare’s Tentacles At My Throat. by Zerocalcare

by Leave a Comment

I read this book. It is called Zerocalcare’s Tentacles At My Throat (by Zerocalcare). It is a book about a boy in three stages of his life. It is about him and his friends, the adventures they get into, and the screwed-up things they do. We start with Zero (or Calcare or Thingy) and his friends Slim and Sarah. They start in primary grade, go into a high school setting, finally they are almost 30. Their schooling is done in one school building (except for […]

You know I have volumes two and three on order!

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Season 10 Volume one by Jeremy Whitley

by Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Books I own (had since mid-2022) I was not totally into My Little Ponies toys and cartoons as a kid, but I had my share and watched the shows/movies. As an adult, I have gotten back into them as my nephew (in his wonderful oddness of finding things that appeal to his sense of the world) has found them (he likes the music and colors mostly) and we have something we can share (though I am learning a lot about Frozen, superheroes and Five […]

Peanuts fans across the galaxy

Snoopy Soars to Space: Peanuts Graphic Novels by Charles M. Schulz

by Leave a Comment

The older I get the more I realize, The Peanuts comic is not always (or really) for kids. They have some terribly adult humor (Snoopy dresses as Lucy to show how tough and mean he can me), the characters are mean, themes are mature in some areas, and frankly, Snoopy? Not the loveable pup I remember as a kid. With that said, today’s kids can deal with more than I could and can. And they will be fine with Snoopy Soars to Space: Peanuts Graphic […]
