Comics
Hollow Fields Vol 1 – this would be a great read for
a child.
Beasts of Burden Occupied Territory #3 – another good
installment. But that ending.
FCBD The Dark Age – I might actually read this
comic. The daughter saves the dad and
younger brother
FCBD Ghost Hog – Cute. Kids should like it.
Ancient Astronauts – Nice artwork, bad plot
Artifice – slow start but the payoff is worth it.
Thorn Vol 1 -meh
History
Girl Squads – Sam Maggs’ short book about girls
working together. It is quite good and
is very diverse.
100 Years of Spying – Short history of spying in the
Western world
The Third Pole -
this account of climbing Everest is highly recommended.
Wayward Lives by Hartman – this book about Black women in 1900s NYC and Philly is highly
recommend. It is an excellent read.
Feminist
Sexual Justice – Interesting new book about examining
how accusations of rape are dealt with in schools and colleges.
Fiction
All Quiet on the Western Front – reread of this
rightful classic.
Winter in Bellapalma – supposedly comic novel that
wasn’t very funny
Non-Fiction
Letters to a Young Poet – strangely an excellent book
about faith
Brothers on Three – A look at an Native American
basketball team’s season and the issues surrounding the members.
Castles of the World – Nicely illustrate photo book
on castles.
How the Word is Passed – Just read this book about
how the US remembers slavery.
Humor
The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of the Whole Stupid World
– The stupid birds took the cherries and now they are eating my
blackberries.
Fantasy
Misfortune Cookie – This Esther Diamond entry is a
bit to obvious.
Abracadver – The seventh book in the Esther Diamond
series is better than the sixth, though either have Lopez and Esther be a
couple or not. This on/off repetition is
really trying. She should date John.
Audio
The Cold Vanish
- a rambling book about people who go missing in National Parks.
The Celtic World – another good entry in the Great
Courses.
Children’s
The Adventures of Mr. Macaw – This is dual language children’s
book about a kite that gets sucked into a storm.
My First Book of Horses – This introduction to horses
for young children makes good use of illustrations and photos. The a day at a barn section is pretty good;
however, there are factual errors in the section on the history of the horse.
Frozen Cook: Olaf the Carrot Nose Snowman – the recipes
are cute but some of the choices for inclusion are strange.
Dressed in the Best (Fairytale Fraud #5) – Makes good
use of “The Emperor’s New Clothes”
Troll Bridge (Fairy Tale Forest #4) – Different take
on the troll under the bridge story.
