You’d be crazy not to like OH, NUTS! by Tammi Sauer

As a dad, some of the best books that I can read to my children are those that I can enjoy too.  I also don’t want there to be too many words and if I can read it without putting my glasses on that’s a plus.  With those classifiers in mind, OH, NUTS! is a fabulous book.  It’s clever enough to keep adults entertained; the children will love the illustrations and learn a life lesson about being happy.

An old fan boy goes digital with Gotham Spirit and others

I cursed my closet fan boy self when I realized that I missed National Comic Book Day.  Not that I needed an excuse to go to the comic book store, but it would’ve given me a reason to opine what’s going on in the world of comics & graphic novels.   Thankfully the internet and blog don’t need to respect the laws of time….so let’s go!

A Father First by Dwayne Wade misses a layup

I’m a dad that is not a sports fan.  I know the big names, but I don’t have any idea what position they play or how their last game was.  Dwayne Wade is a superstar basketball player with the Miami Heat.  If you’re like me you thought that he was a character from A Different World.  “A Father First” is his life story that takes readers from his impoverished beginnings in Chicago to living the high life in Miami.  Continue reading A Father First by Dwayne Wade misses a layup

Preschool Gems is a great toilet book and that’s a good thing

The books that have occupied my bathroom reading have changed through the years.  The constant for the past number of years has been The Far Side.  During my 20’s The Duct Tape book was there; along with some men’s fashion magazine that I never followed the clothing or grooming advice to.  My bathroom reading is still evolving now that I’m married and have children who are old enough to form somewhat coherent sentences.

Dad reads Star Wars-Crimson Empire III Empire Lost

Star Wars, Crimson Empire III: Empire Lost is the long awaited sequel to Crimson Empire II.  Long awaited can be a mixed blessing.  Is it long awaited because fans lost interest, it wasn’t good enough to merit a quick release or the company is pushing it?  In the Star Wars universe some things take time and this delayed sequel is a result of story changes and schedules not due to demand. Continue reading Dad reads Star Wars-Crimson Empire III Empire Lost

Kirby: Genesis Vol. 1, trade paperback-Review

I received the PDF for this graphic novel just over a month ago.  I read it in a couple of days and have procrastinated reviewing it because every time I opened it to review it I couldn’t stop reading or looking at the art.  Granted I’m somewhat easily distracted (look-a kitten!), but Genesis sucked me into an old school comic world I haven’t seen in a while. Continue reading Kirby: Genesis Vol. 1, trade paperback-Review

A Dad reads How Can I Be Your Lover When I’m Too Busy Being Your Mother?

A couple thoughts crossed my mind while I was reading this book.  While the thoughts ebbed and flowed between a couple subjects the main one that kept coming back was the song from Sophie B Hawkings.    It’s not that my wife and I need help in the loving department, but we’re a normal couple with two small children.  Continue reading A Dad reads How Can I Be Your Lover When I’m Too Busy Being Your Mother?
