The Burial Tide: A Novel by Neil Sharpson

December 27, 2025 by bjornsnipe 1 Comment

  One stormy night on Inishbannock, an eerily quiet island off the coast of Ireland, a woman with no memory wakes up in a coffin. Clawing herself out of the grave and into the night, the woman soon to be named Mara Fitch discovers that not everyone on the island welcomes her sudden return to life. Of course her return is not the only oddity; a sudden plague that killed only four people on the island, and was never reported to the mainland. The sudden […]

Dan! Dan! (Santat)! Is the man

Don't Trust Fish by Neil Sharpson

The Day the Books Disappeared by Joanna Ho and Caroline Kusin Pritchard

All the Hulk Feels by Dan Santat

May 16, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I like the illustrator Dan Santat. While I like the colors, the silliness and the medium to busy details, I have never been sure exactly what draws me. The nice thing is, there are a lot of titles (some he is the author as well of), to explore to figure it out.  And there are three new/recent ones that you should try out to see if you can help explain it to me. First, there is  Don’t Trust Fish by Neil Sharpson. It is a […]

I don’t know why you shouldn’t trust a fish, but you can read this book to find out…and then there is a bonus book too

Don't Trust Fish by Neil Sharpson

Fiona and the Peculiar Praise by Rennie Dyball

January 28, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I do not know how to write up Don’t Trust Fish by Neil Sharpson and illustrator Dan Santat, other than to say, read it and find out what you think. I cannot tell you that on this one. The story is simple, a narrator starts with “this is a dog, cat, etc…” and what they do, characteristics, etc. and then, “This is a Fish, do not trust them.”  Um…okay. And then we go through the book about fish and trust issues.  Things are cute and […]
