Masters of Death by Olivie Blake

September 10, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 19: Queer Lives I’m not sure where I saw the blurb for Masters of Death but it was pretty catchy; it also did not hint at the queerness within, but that’s ok. I have to say, I found this pretty enjoyable. There are about 8 main characters, some more main than others, and half of the book revolves around them finding or re-finding their special person. Everyone is ‘inter-species’ to some extent, and one of the more important couples is  same sex; the member […]

One of My All-Time Favorite Works of Art

Fruits Basket Collector's Edition Vols 1-12 by Natsuki Takaya

Fruits Basket Another Vols 1-4 by Natsuki Takaya

August 29, 2023 by GentleRain 3 Comments

CBR15Bingo: Strange Worlds (Tohru becomes involved in the strange world of the Sohma family and there are supernatural events throughout.) The problem with writing a review of one of my all-time favorite series is that I mentally become that clip from a Lady Gaga interview (“Talented, brilliant, incredible amazing, showstopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference…”) and it makes it hard to summarize my thoughts beyond an incoherent shaking of the person listening […]

M for Mature

Sensor by Junji Ito

August 15, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

It was Saturday and I had two options, stay at home and do laundry and not get any reading done, or take an hour or two at the library and try and get some reading done. Besides, I had to pick up some interlibrary loans anyway. I picked the library (now, you need to understand that I work at an independent bookstore, where I have access to free books, usually brand new, never touched reader copies, not like that library version of Nimona that had […]

Another one of those moments when Ruby had to choose whether to go crazy or just deal. A close call this time.

Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff

“It never fails,” Montrose said. “No matter what they do to you, afterwards it’s like nothing happened. You’re supposed to just be grateful you’re still breathing.” Upon receiving a letter from his estranged father, Atticus Turner returns to his hometown to discover his father missing. He and his uncle George follow the trail to Ardham, Massachusetts, where, with the help of their hometown friend Letitia, they learn secrets about Atticus’s late mother’s family history, and how he and his family could be the keys to […]

Which Witch is the worst Witch?

Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things (Courtney Crumrin, #1) by Ted Naifeh

July 26, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Can you like and dislike a book at the same time? I say yes, as the graphic novel Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things (Courtney Crumrin, #1) by Ted Naifeh is exactly that.  And due to that, I am not really sure I want to explore the rest of the books in the various Courtney Crumrin series. Unless, there is a collection of everything…. Well a girl can dream right? There is really nothing likable about any of the characters, even Courtney who we follow through […]

A down-on-his-luck weredogs misadventures

 Lumine Volume One: A WEBTOON Unscrolled Graphic novel by Emma Krogell

June 7, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

“Oh boy, this looks like a manga series,” I said to myself (I knew it was me, as I recognized  my internal voice and was wearing my You Don’t Gnome Me socks). “Nope, I won’t read….” But then I saw the cover. Lots of blue, black and this shock of white. (Fascinating. So simple, but that is a real draw. Oh, is that a white wolf?) Then I saw that fateful phrase, WebToons. Oh! I like WebToons. And so, I said, “Self,” (again, it was […]
