The Lager Queen of Minnesota by J. Ryan Stradal

January 24, 2023 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

In the past, I’ve started my reviews with “in one word” and offered one word that sums up my feelings on a book, but over time, that has gotten stale. Instead, I’m going to give myself ten words or less to try to sum up a book, because why not. (My reviews, my rules). In Ten Words or Less: Complex female characters uncover their potential and discover family destiny. This little book charmed me and was exactly the kind of light read I needed at […]

Hide and Shh!: A Not -So-Sneaky Sister Story About Inclusion by Christina Dendy

A Song of Frutas and Hide and Shh!: by Margarita Engle

October 7, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

These books have a loose connecting theme. Not only are they picture books, but they are about things that we might not be exposed to often. I mean A Song of Frutas and Hide and Shh!: A Not -So-Sneaky Sister Story About Inclusion are about the fruit vendors of Cuban, with Spanish words mixed in and two siblings, one who lives with Down Syndrome, finding common ground (and the not exposed to is having a special needs sibling). I grew up with first cousins, a […]

Cursed Princess Club Volume One by Lambcat

Cursed Princess Club Volume Two by Lambcat

September 30, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Cursed Princess Club Volume One created by Lambcat is a WebToons special. In January 2023 volumes one and two (the summer of 2023) will be (hopefully) published in a physical format (as long as there are no broken-down trucks, snowstorms, printing issues, or acts of the Great Spaghetti Monster). When the King of the Pastel Kingdom wakes his children in the morning, one is sleeping in the flowers that grows wherever she is, one has birds and critters brushing her hair, one is delighting and sparkling […]

I know someone who could have been here, do you?

The Degenerates by J. Albert Mann

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

SPOILER included: The Degenerates is a slow story, that ends on a not happy note! I wanted my happy ending! I know it was not realistic to have one, but these characters all deserve one. With that said, this look set in 1928 and the way “others” are treated is interesting but does lack a little “something.” (Which is partially why I was wanting these characters to have a happy ending.) The afterwards was also interesting, putting things into context. While for at least 12-13 […]

Sister Magic

Beatrice Likes the Dark by Genevieve Tucholke

June 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Beatrice Likes the Dark while her sister Roo loves the light. Neither can understand the other’s love of spiders, cellars, stars (Beatrice), or the sun, flowers, and the days joys (Roo). But when Roo admits to being afraid of the dark, Beatrice does what any good big sister would do, and gives her a special piece of magic. Learning to appreciate and love each other (even if they cannot get behind the other’s personal tastes), the sisters create a happy medium. April Genevieve Tucholke’s text […]

Sisters

Lulu & Zoey: A Sister Story by Carrie Finison

June 22, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was not sure what to expect of Lulu & Zoey: A Sister Story. But it was not what occurred in this Carrie Finison picture book. We have an outside narrator telling us that sometimes sisters do “this” or “that” with examples given by sisters Lulu and Zoey. Sometimes Lulu wants to play, Zoey does not. Sometimes Zoey has a really cool pen and even though she will share, Lulu steals the rest of the art supplies. Sometimes Lulu decorates Zoey’s diary, and Zoey is […]

  • narfna on We are women without a voice…We are women out of time and place, without even the language of the country we reside in.Everything I hear about this makes me want to read it more. I've heard the audio is great, that's probably the route I'll go.
