A story about how one simple act can bring so much to so many people, and a celebration of stories and the human spirit.

VaughanPLAlison's rating:
Added May 08, 2021

Comment:

A gorgeous biography of an artist you may not have heard of before. One who took inspiration from her heritage, her home and her experiences in the early to mid 20th century to draw and, in her own way, fight segregation. I'm very glad I got to know her a little.

Added Apr 10, 2021

You may never have thought that vampires and hockey would go together, but here we have Vlad trying something new after centuries of the same old thing. As this adorable story illustrates, a little hard work on something you love goes a long way, even when you're a vampire.

by Petersen, Anne Helen
Book - 2020
VaughanPLAlison's rating:
Added Feb 16, 2021

Comment:

Although this book made me mad several times, it was still a very informative, well researched and just so achingly true read that I’m very glad I tackled it. As an older millennial it was wonderful to see what’s been going on put so well into words.

A great follow up to the first volume of Check, Please! Can't say too much without giving things away but a great conclusion to the story, and a great send off to such wonderful characters. For fans of hockey, baking and romance of all types.

Book - 2018 | English edition.
VaughanPLAlison's rating:

Comment:

A quick, illustrated look at how all encompassing day to day sexism can be for all women. A very good job of highlighting some of the big issues for women today from all walks of life. A great intro for feminism.

Fangs, Book

by Andersen, Sarah
Book - 2020
VaughanPLAlison's rating:
Added Jan 15, 2021

Comment:

If you like the humour of Sarah's Scribbles, vampires, werewolves, and an adorable love story (and I like all those things) you'd be hard pressed to find anything else that ticks all those boxes so well. A very down to earth relationship between two very not down to earth people with all the little moments and laughs. Much love.

A Drop of Blood, Book

by Showers, Paul
Book - 2004 | Newly illustrated edition.
VaughanPLAlison's rating:
Added Dec 20, 2020

Comment:

A pretty good explanation for young readers about blood; how it works, what it's made of, what happens when it comes out, etc. Plus the main character is a vampire. How can you go wrong?

Secret Santa, Book

by Shaffer, Andrew
Book - 2020
VaughanPLAlison's rating:
Added Dec 18, 2020

Comment:

1980s references? Holiday horror set in a publishing house? Deadly office politics? A gift that's not so giving? All ingredients for a fun, creepy, festive scary tale. Great for if you like the old school horrors that come with this time of year.

There's An Elf in your Book, Book

by Fletcher, Tom
Book - 2019 | First American edition.
VaughanPLAlison's rating:
Added Dec 09, 2020

Comment:

Pretty cute, but the humor's pretty juvenile, so probably just for younger kids. Adorable illustrations though and a little holiday test your kids can take, so a good interactive read.

The Great Santa Stakeout, Book

by Bird, Betsy
Book - 2019 | First edition.
VaughanPLAlison's rating:
Added Dec 09, 2020

Comment:

A delightful plot by Santa's #1 fan, because what's the holidays without a little scheming? Great illustrations and funny to boot. A great alternative to super sweet picture books.

Black Christmas, Blu-ray Disc

Blu-ray Disc - 2020 | Blu-ray edition.
VaughanPLAlison's rating:
Added Dec 07, 2020

Comment:

I could see what they were trying to do, and I had no objections to the fresh take on the story. But the execution was just clunky. The original is one of the original slasher films. This one is PG-13, so had to be tame with the scares. Trying to make this a feminist slasher movie, while a great idea, was undercut by some of the ridiculous and glaringly out of place elements of the story. Yeah, 2019's Black Christmas is fine to watch to see that glimmer of something potentially great and to spark discussion, but if you only have time for one Black Christmas this year, I'd say stick to the original.

Book - 2020
VaughanPLAlison's rating:
Added Dec 04, 2020

Comment:

A play on words makes for an adorable book on the traditions of Hanukkah, with a section at the end explaining each aspect of the holiday. Also, who doesn't love Llamas?
