Simple but interesting

The Awesome Human Journal: A Tool Kit for the Tough Days, the Good Days, and All the Days in Between by Nataly Kogan

March 23, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport genre   Ihave almost 590 reviews to hit 15 Cannonballs for Cannonball 15. And while it is possible (vel veeter did fourteen and change in 2019), is it practical for me to have that goal/thought/need/etc? Probably not. However, the reason I started my review off like this is because I was wondering if The Awesome Human Journal: A Tool Kit for the Tough Days, the Good Days, and All the Days in Between would be a good journal for me to have someplace to […]

Important freckles

Emma’s Freckles by Sarah Wallace

January 30, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport book from other country (dream sequence, story is from/character is from): I am a proud of Irish decent gal (also I am a good American mix of other, but mostly I claim Irish, as we know a I-am-assuming-only-two great-grandparent came over from Ireland). So, when I saw Emma’s Freckles on Edelweiss, I was excited I did not have to wait until March 2023 to read. However, Sarah Wallace, you have a great idea, but I probably should have waited. You see, the idea of […]

A heartwarming story about poop

I Eat Poop: A Dung Beetle Story by Mark Pett

September 30, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

You might not want to recommend this book out loud in a group of mixed company as you will get a few looks, giggles, and teasing. I Eat Poop: A Dung Beetle Story is your “kid eats an odd food, is afraid he will be teased like (you will learn as we go along) his ex-best friend, and the lesson he learns about being himself.”  This time it is just with a dung beetle and other creatures. There is kid humor, and at the end […]

Oh Olive…

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

September 1, 2022 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

I picked this up because it kept coming up in CBR14 reviews. After researching it a little bit, it seems that it is hugely popular. I was intrigued to find out what made it more than the average romcom-type romance. Plus I was very curious to find out whatever it has to do with ReyLo. Olive, a struggling biology grad student, kisses a random guy in her lab, her intent being to show her best friend that she has completely moved on from her ex […]

Another Delightful Middle-Grade Graphic Novel Wins My Heart

Twins by Varian Johnson and Shannon Wright

July 11, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

Twins is a fun read and one I have now owned two copies of, so I am hanging on to this one so I don’t have to buy a third! Maureen and Francine have always been together in the same class but now, as they enter middle school, they’ve been separated in all but two classes. Maureen, who is shyer, wants them to be in the same classes, but Francine seems thrilled to have time away from her twin. Maureen also has the added misery of […]

Relatable awesomeness

Frizzy by Claribel A. Ortega

July 1, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I will start with a controversial statement. I am not always a fan of the drawn natural hair look. For me, it does not “translate” well to the page. I feel something is lost from the “real look” verses the “page look.” However, in Frizzy Rose Bousamra really pulled it off. Marlene (our heroine) and her natural look is amazingly done. And Claribel A. Ortega’s story is equally wonderful. Now, I am not a Dominican middle school girl who has the same self-esteem issues s […]
