When a stranger on a plane gives you a book and a leftover tortilla chip falls out of it, you know you’ve made a friend

Zorro's Shadow by Stephen J.C. Andes

by 11 Comments

I flew to see my dad for the 4th of July (hi, sabian30!), and wore my Ozma of Oz shirt on the plane. The woman who had the seat next to me complimented my shirt, yay! Always fun to meet a fellow reader. She had her headphones in during the flight, so I didn’t want to disturb her, but when she removed them when we landed I asked her how long she gave a bad book before giving up on it. The book I brought […]

Lola’s Super Club V02 My Substitute Teacher is a Witch by Christine Beigel

by Leave a Comment

Even if I had read book one of Lola’s Super Club (which I realized after starting this was book two with the subtitle of My Substitute Teacher is a Witch) I do not think I would have liked this book. While kids who like “kid gross humor” and fantasy drama/action/violence will enjoy, it will not be for everyone. I appreciate the attempt of Christine Beigel with their trying to make this book a “girl power superhero book” and using stereotypical “boy stuff” for the plot […]

Read it just so I’d be prepped for the movie.

Eternals by Neil Gaiman

by Leave a Comment

I read this over two months ago now, and it didn’t make a strong impression on me at the time, so this review isn’t going to be based on anything really concrete. Just FYI. I’ve actually had this on my TBR forever, because Neil Gaiman, but the premise never grabbed me enough for me to actually do the (slight) work of picking it up. But the movie is coming out soon-ish, so I figured I’d give it a go. And it was fine! I liked […]

DC Super Hero Girls V05: Out of the Bottle Graphic Novel. by Shea Fontana

by Leave a Comment

I was looking for something fun, light, and easy to read. And though I noticed awhile back that the last two times I took out books from the library I ended up in the ER, I decided to take a chance. I picked out five titles (with a sixth in case one was not available) and ended up with four. Good average and considering the one I am reading; I probably will not be getting through them all too soon. Therefore, I picked up first  […]

I have no shelf control, so luckily I have a bookstore and library I can buy/borrow from books like this

Anti/Hero by Kate Karyus Quinn

by Leave a Comment

Anti/Hero is a middle school graphic novel about superhero Hummingbird and Grey Owl (formerly known as Grey, villain) coming to Gotham. First, Hummingbird is a bit of an anti-hero (she makes more destruction than save the days) and Grey is a baddie through and almost through. Yet, when an accident causes the two to switch bodies, all heck breaks loose. As I am not familiar with DC’s “Not Big Ones” (such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, etc.) I am not sure how in cannon […]
