B is for Fantasy Book Café | Reviews of Fantasy and Science Fiction Books
I love THIS blog because:
- It has plenty of regular reviews of my favorite genre of books
- There's an alphabetical index of all the books
- 🍵☕🐉🧝🧙 How cool would an actual fantasy book cafe be? Coffee in a dungeon with dragon-roasted beans.
“Boy” is a story of a deaf child who lived in silence. Boy couldn’t hear the fighting of the king’s battles around him, but he could see the fear around him... and how everyone would be much happier without it. Diversity and the need for communication, all kinds of communication, is a strong theme within this heartwarming tale. Ideal for ages 4-8.

- Vampire nonfiction -- thoughts?
I have not been to the blog, or read the books. I am adding Boy and Black & White to my list, though! Nonfiction vampire...I actually love when awesome fantasy topics are written as if they were nonfiction. Could be interesting!
ReplyDeleteNonfiction vampire - Im oping you don't have proof that vampires actually exist!!

Love that Being Human is listed as nonfiction! I loved the book, too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to that blog, or read the books. Vampire non-fiction? I don't think so. Or, maybe. I've read about Vlad III, and Elizabeth Bathory.
ReplyDeleteI haven't known about the Fantasy Book Cafe. Now I do. I'm going to visit it for sure, as fantasy is my favorite genre.
ReplyDeleteThe Fantasy Book Cafe blog is well laid out, and the book reviews exceptionally thorough - from which I should take a lesson.

I haven't visited most of these other blogs (yet) but I may, now.
ReplyDeleteHm. Thoughts on "vampire nonfiction" eh? I'm still laughing over the suggested Google search autocomplete I got, once, starting "Vampire..." and got "Vampire facts."
OK, I get it - maybe "vampire lore" would have been better, but it had me wondering how many people typed into the little box, "vampire facts"? That's easy: "They don't exist." Despite which, I do enjoy a good vampire story. But I'd have trouble with "Being Human" due to the title - like one reader said, "I expected it to be like the TV series." Which is unfair of us, and you cannot copyright a title, but you CAN do your research, and the series was aired at least as far back as 2010 or 2011.
I do hope you'll drop by my blog, one day - maybe you'll find a new favorite. It's All a Matter of Perspective.
The book and the tv show both came out in 2011. Both take several months of prep before the public has access.

ReplyDeleteI am laughing my butt off at Being Human in a nonfiction category. I have no idea how that happened. I've contacted Amazon to get it fixed though.
ReplyDeleteBookmarked Fantasy Book Cafe - looks highly informative. Thanks for the shout. I also highly recommend Being Human - Patricia is super talented.
ReplyDeleteCoffee in a dungeon with dragon-roasted beans sounds like a fun time! I would love to be able to read "Boy" and have added it to my Goodreads TBR. Vampire nonfiction -- sounds like a great category!

Vampire nonfiction could work maybe History of Vampire in Society, culture. Proofing they exist might be hard but nonfiction work on why people belief in them
