I liked how the book ended and it

Black Canary: Breaking Silence (audiobook)
by Alexandra Monir
View in Library Catalog
book cover


It was pretty strange listening to this YA title from the DC Icons series the same week as I was watching season 2 of The Handmaid's Tale! This is a narrative adaptation of Black Canary's origin story. Dinah Lance is the daughter of the original Black Canary, living in a Gotham City controlled by the Court of Owls. Females are banned from holding certain jobs and wearing unauthorized clothing. Their singing voices have been chemically silenced. Do you ever have strange, unplanned convergences like this? I will suggest this to teen readers who enjoy reading or viewing the Netflix movie of Moxie.

All The Colors Of The Dark

Without hyperbole the best book I've read this year; Literary to a tee, with rich, believably flawed characters, and a gently twisty plot. The narrative style feels like non-supernatural Stephen King at his best (The Body, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, Mr. Mercedes) while being reminiscent of the misery level drama (or trauma) of books like 'The Girl Next Door' by Jack Ketchum or 'Before We Were Yours' by Lisa Wingate. While the Story spans decades and over 250 chapters, it never drags; pulling you along the lives of deeply damaged people, concluding in an ending that, while not ideal or perfect, is as messy as real life, and ultimately satisfying.

Batman: Knightfall Vol. 1
by Chuck Dixon, Alan Grant, Doug Moench

book cover


(2012 623pg edition) A prime example of the turning point into modern comics, "Knightfall" ages slightly better than its contemporary "Death of Superman". Although there is larger over-arching story-line, the desperate individual titles (Batman, Detective Comics, Shadow of the Bat) retain their own creative teams. As such the art lacks consistency through-out to the point where character models are vastly different from chapter to chapter. It is easy to see why such broad comic book events have garnered criticism of pretension, there are enough context-clues to make this a jumping on point, even if the "Batman: Prelude to Knightfall" collection (ironically published 6 years later in 2018) is highly recommended for prior reading.

A really good book with really good poems, but some poems were a bit to sad and dark - maybe not for you. I REALLY enjoyed the happy, uplifting poems, though!

Interesting and current

The House at the Edge of Magic
by Amy Sparkes

It was based on a girl thief that really wanted to be nice, but disliked saying things like "thank you" or "sorry". There were challenges along the way and a wizard that was so polite, but so annoying to her. It was really funny.

I really liked it. My favorite part was when he went crazy during the dog show and when he was a mummy. And also when he said lie down and sit. It was really funny!
