The League of Super Feminists by Mirion Malle

Feminism: A Graphic Guide by Cathia Jenainati

November 15, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When history starts to become current events again, you might be surprised at how the “old books” became “new” and recommended reading. Two books I happened to find (when browsing for something else) that were on the current event theme of feminism are League of Super Feminist (published 2020) and Feminism: A Graphic Guide (published 2019). I am assuming due to the way they were set up and presented, not too much needs to be updated, but while I haven’t finished the second, I did […]

Your interviews into a graphic novel

Dear Body by Lea Bordier

March 7, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Sometimes working around books is a drawback. Oh sure, I’ve access to almost any book I want, but then again, I have access to almost any book I want! The riches overflow and I keep finding “one more” to look at/read. Due to this, I kept pushing Dear Body by Lea Bordier (with 12 female and non-binary illustrators) aside. Finally, one day I happened to look over at the saddest spot in our store: our return cart. Sometimes it’s necessary to return a book to […]

My Whackadoo brain found some cool reads

Murderbot Diaries V02 Artificial Condition by Martha Wells

Hilo Book 6: All the Pieces Fit by Judd Winick

This is How I Disappear by Mirion Malle

June 24, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

My mood this week and reading has been all over this week. I found three different genres to get me through it. Not only have I done a crap tone of picture books just for the quick read, I had to find humor, serious, and a mixture of the two. I finished Murderbot Diaries V02 Artificial Condition by Martha Wells. I prefer the first one but did like the ending where Murderbot makes an interesting realization about how they have always just waited and “cleaned […]
