DC Super Hero Girls V05: Out of the Bottle Graphic Novel. by Shea Fontana

February 23, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was looking for something fun, light, and easy to read. And though I noticed awhile back that the last two times I took out books from the library I ended up in the ER, I decided to take a chance. I picked out five titles (with a sixth in case one was not available) and ended up with four. Good average and considering the one I am reading; I probably will not be getting through them all too soon. Therefore, I picked up first  […]

Only reason this book is not a 5 is because I was looking for something different with the illustrations

The Dark Matter of Mona Starr by Laura Lee Gulledge

January 20, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Dark Matter of Mona Starr is not something you can really tell what it is about by the cover. I figured she might be into science or going to take a poetic journey. Instead, it is a book about one girl dealing with the Matters of her life: or the depression she is facing. Laura Lee Gulledge does not want to make it easy on you, she hits you right out of the gate, but it is not all “doom and gloom.” There are […]

I laughed, I cried, I will re-read.

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

January 7, 2021 by narfna 10 Comments

“They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. But that isn’t true, at least not entirely, because if our past was all that defined us, we’d never be able to put up with ourselves. We need to be allowed to convince ourselves that we’re more than the mistakes we made yesterday. That we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows.” This is my favorite of Backman’s books (that I’ve read) by quite a large margin. I would […]

Crazy New BEST Friend?!

I Want to be Where the Normal People Are by Rachel Bloom

December 18, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos 8 Comments

I must start by thanking ASKReviews for letting us all know that there was a SECRET MUSICAL in the middle of this audiobook! I heeded their recommendation to “Get the Audio Version”, and boy howdy am I glad I did! Not only do we get a musical adventure about Rachel Bloom’s desire to be a musical theater STAAAR, the musical is performed by her harmonizing with herself, herself, herself, herself, and maybe another Rachel Bloom or two. Bloom’s voice is so important here; her style, […]

Books don’t usually make me cry; this book was clearly an exception.
