Social and Political with Murder Mystery in Fantasy Historical Setting with a Hint of Romance

The King's Beast vol. 1 by Rei Toma

February 21, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

This one is also something I decided on for Valentine’s Day, but I’m a little late in getting the review done; I saw a teaser chapter posted online and I figured why not? I did get the book a few days early and put it with the rest of the small Valentine’s stash I’d set up for myself. The King’s Beast is a manga series from a publisher that tends to focus a lot on drawn out romance type stories. The King’s Beast in spite […]

What do a hippo, worm, lightbulb and a dinosaur have in common? Their books are mentioned in this review!

The Secret Rhino Society by Jonathan E. Jacobs

The Legend of King Arthur-A-Tops by Mo O’Hara

February 5, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was in a bit of a reading slump but realized that it was because I was not reading the right books. I was trying to read novels and was in the mindset for picture books. Those fun, clever little gems that takes a few minutes to read, but you feel accomplished after. After all, think of the child just reading; they cannot do War and Peace, but when they read a book of a few dozen pages, a few hundred words or so, and […]

Randy Randy you’re a dandy!

Randy, the Badly Drawn Horse by T. L. McBeth

February 5, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was looking at the description of the book Randy, the Badly Drawn Horse.  All it says is “Title has strikethrough on “badly drawn.” Is this all that T. L. McBeth’s book is? Just a book with the words “badly drawn” with a slash trough it? It does not even mention the fact that “badly drawn” is replaced with a red, capitalized BEAUTIFUL! It does not mention that Randy tells the story or the fact that Randy is well, less than a traditional looking horse […]

Stop draggin’ your feet and get to Where the Dragons Live!

Where the Dragons Live by Serena Geddes

February 2, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Where the Dragons Live is a sequel to another Serena Geddes book called Rosie and Rasmus. The dragon Rasmus says goodbye to Rosie, journeys to the land of dragons (the Island of Dragons to be precise) and cannot wait to make new friends. The problem is Rasmus is not like the other dragons. They roar, play rough, little mean, are big and tall, breath fire and tell him he is not a real dragon. But then again, what is a real dragon? And Rasmus learns […]

I added the shocking image not for shock, but for an example of what you are getting.

Our Animal Neighbors: Compassion for Every Furry, Slimy, Prickly Creature on Earth by Matthieu Ricard

January 19, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I thought Our Animal Neighbors: Compassion for Every Furry, Slimy, Prickly Creature on Earth would be an environmental book because of the cover. Instead, Matthieu Ricard, Jason Gruhl and Becca Hall created something a little unexpected, but honestly, not surprising. This book is very pro vegetarian. (Sidebar: it is funny I find this book now as a Facebook friend has been a vegetarian for years and recently started posting more pro memes, comments, and articles). It talks of the community of Earth. How people and […]
