You should all drop whatever you are doing and join me in my current obsession (double bingo)

Lore Olympus, vol 2 by Rachel Smythe

Lore Olympus, vol 3 by Rachel Smythe

November 11, 2022 by Malin 4 Comments

4.5 stars CBR14 Bingo: Adapted (Rachel Smythe’s modern take on the Greek myths – and obviously especially Hades and Persephone is so cleverly done) So, searching my blog and Goodreads to see what I wrote about Lore Olympus, my current web-comic obsession, I discovered that after finishing volume one in November last year, all I did was leave a two-sentence comment on Goodreads. If I recall correctly, I was pretty solidly burned out last winter, so I’m amazed I posted any reviews in the final months […]

I’ve got taste in buds

Pebble and Wren by Chris Hallbeck

October 19, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Pebble and Wren by Chris Hallbeck is an adorable story of friendship, finding yourself and your talents. And pancakes. Along the way we are educated on some fun science facts (at least one of I am with the dad: I am the adult and HOW did I not know that????) Granted, as an adult reader these science breaks did cut the flow of things, but most kids will not have a problem with this. Because of this, this graphic novel could work well in a classroom […]

This comic is so incredibly sweet

Heartstopper, vol 4 by Alice Oseman

October 3, 2021 by Malin 3 Comments

CBR13 Bingo: Reader’s Choice (replaces White Whale) Charlie and Nick are getting crazier and crazier about each other, they still haven’t actually declared their feelings fully for one another. That’s one hurdle that can be monumental in any relationship, let alone between already insecure teens. While Nick’s Mum is incredibly supportive, he still hasn’t come out to his Dad, who is going to be visiting soon, and based on his brother, he’s not sure how his father is going to react. Then there’s the rather […]

“you can play as a dog, a boot, or a trebuchet”

Nimona by Noelle Stevenson

February 15, 2021 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

Man, I really wish Monopoly (oh wait- World Domination) had a trebuchet. I’m usually the shoe, but I would LOVE to be a trebuchet. It has been perpetually gray here in New Hampshire for the last…oh jeez, three weeks? I needed something familiar to hunker down with while waiting for the sun to return, and while shuffling around my house I remembered LittlePlat‘s recent Nimona review. A great review about a great book? Just the spark I needed! Thank you, LittlePlat, and thank you to […]

A really sweet and heart-warming comic about gay teens

Heartstopper, vol 1 by Alice Oseman

Heartstopper, vol 2 by Alice Oseman

Heartstopper, vol 3 by Alice Oseman

December 31, 2020 by Malin 1 Comment

Heartstopper, vol 1: 4.5 stars Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more…?   Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn’t been too great, but at least he’s not being bullied anymore. Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He’s heard a little about Charlie – the kid who was […]

Sudo read this comic if you don’t already

XKCD Volume 0 by Randall Munroe

June 13, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Since starting to work from home full time in March, I have gotten a little out of the habit of checking the XKCD web-comic regularly. I’ve forgotten how I first found it; I suspect my brother forwarded me one he thought I’d like and the rest, as they say,… Anyways, I realized that I had XKCD: Volume 0 on my shelf, and I don’t think I’ve ever read it through until very recently. The tagline on the webcomic is “A web-comic of romance, sarcasm, math, […]
