Gustav Is Missing!: A Tale of Friendship and Bravery by Andrea Zuill

July 14, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Gustav Is Missing!: A Tale of Friendship and Bravery is not necessarily the best book I have read, or the funniest, or even the most unique of messages; but it is all those things and more. Andrea Zuill created a picture book about a small mushroom, Little Cap, and his pet slug, Gustav, that was funny (when Gustav is unfortunately surprised, he falls spread eagle on the ground; there is an adorable pouty mushroom towards the end; when Little Cap thinks Gustav might be attacked […]

A Great Collection of Autobio Comics!

Little Tunny's Snail Diaries by Grace Gogarty

June 25, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I really love Grace Gogarty’s work and so was thrilled when I saw this collection of autobio comics available for preorder. I hopped right on that and then forgot about it until I got the shipping notice, which was another delightful surprise. I am fully on board with using book preorders as a little gift for myself in the future, it cheers up a rough day. Little Tunny’s Snail Diaries collects a variety of Gogarty’s autobio comics in a really nice edition. The format mimics […]

Getting your kitten on

Sue & Tai-chan volume one by Kanata Konami

October 27, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Sue & Tai-chan volume one is a cute story. You like it or you don’t. Really there is not an in-between for it. If you want to read about the everyday lives of two cats (Sue, and older cat wanting to just sleep and eat quietly. Tai-chan, a young kitten ready and loading for bear, trouble, mischief, shenanigans, eating, sleeping, chaos, and repeat), then Kanata Konami’s series is the graphic novel/manga series you need. Because if you are looking for action, there is not really […]

Good thing I’m not allergic to books, but if I was, I’d still read this!

Allergic: A Graphic Novel by Megan Wagner Lloyd

March 4, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

While the story on the surface of Allergic: A Graphic Novel sounds simple, there is also the complicity of learning of an illness and the result of it being “not fair” to the person dealing with the situation. There is also the typical growing up issues of siblings, friendship, and fear issues. All of it will come to a head by the end and while it might seem overwhelming our heroine, Maggie, finds a way. Megan Wagner Lloyd’s story is an old one (coming to […]

Move over Lassie, Honey is in town

Honey, the Dog Who Saved Abe Lincoln by Shari Swanson

January 7, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have been meaning to read Honey, the Dog Who Saved Abe Lincoln for awhile now. I had the reader copy and saw it in various places around the store once it came out a year ago. But it was not until a chance (or more actually blind) grab at a pile of reader copies in the page by the desk that it came out and the rule was, “Read what you grab.” Shari Swanson bases her story of Abe Lincoln as a boy on […]

I scream you scream for Halloween! (Or: Autumn books that can be Halloween books )

We're Going on a Pumpkin Hunt by Mary Hogan Wilcox

She Wanted to Be Haunted by Marcus Ewert

The Little Kitten by Nicola Killen

A Unicorn Named Sparkle and the Pumpkin Monster by Amy Young

September 25, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This is Halloween, this is Halloween/Pumpkins scream in the dead of night Okay, these four books are on the other side of Halloween. They are not spooky (or at least not to the level of The Nightmare Before Christmas) but they are fun, can acutely be an autumn read (or even anytime read) and can be absolutely perfect for the right audience. We’re Going on a Pumpkin Hunt by Mary Hogan Wilcox is probably my least favorite of the group. That’s not to say it is […]

Emmalita on “We do bones, motherfucker.”The Locked Tomb seems to do that.
Dome'Loki on “We do bones, motherfucker.”It has completely thrown off my bingo plan. I had intended to start finishing off some bingos but ended up doing this instead!
Emmalita on “We do bones, motherfucker.”And now I'm wishing I had tome to do a reread.
narfna on First Bingo!!!!It will sort of be my first book by her! I "read" The Cruel Prince, but barely paid attention because I didn't like the narrator....
Ale on First Bingo!!!!It's just different than everything else she's written, and maybe that puts readers off. I'll be honest, it wasn't my favorite book by her, but...
