Thank you Pooja for this amazing holiday gift. I can’t wait to read!!! I am not familiar with Goblin Market, so this will be a real treat. (And if I’ve already posted, sorry, I have a memory like a cheap Swiss Cheese!
Flamingos are now in the top ten of my favorite birds
Flamingos Are Pretty Funky: A (Not So) Serious Guide by Abi Cushman
I do not think I have seen a book about flamingos that I have ever wanted to read before I found this one. But the cover of Flamingos Are Pretty Funky: A (Not So) Serious Guide by Abi Cushman, with the words Funky and Not So Serious on it, really grabbed my attention. Especially funky. How can flamingos be funky??? They stand there on one leg. They are on the pink and white color spectrum. They eat food that makes them that color. They have […]
Great for the Holidays and Any Days
The House Without Lights: A glowing celebration of joy, warmth, and home by Reem Faruqi
I don’t think I saw The House Without Lights: A glowing celebration of joy, warmth, and home by Reem Faruqi and illustrated by Nadia Alam on my online reading site. If I had, I didn’t remember seeing and/or saving it. But one day I had an email that said, “Here is a book we are promoting and we hope you consider reading it.” I said, “Why not?” and I found an online copy. That is not where this book journey ends though. I will be […]
Vampire-Off During a Cat and Mouse Chase, but it’s cozy cute
The Night-Time Cat and the Plump Grey Mouse: A Trinity College Tale by Erika McGann, Lauren O'Neil
The Night-Time Cat and the Plump Grey Mouse: A Trinity College Tale is an illustrated kids book, but it’s actually got a good bit of interest for grown-ups of certain interests. The story itself is basically that Pangur Ban the cat escapes from the book where she lives to chase a mouse who has done the same (escaped the book for nightly wandering/adventure. She keeps running into the local ghosts, both literary and historical, and asks everyone if they’ve seen her prey (hint: they either […]
Freshman Blues
How It All Ends by Emma Hunsinger
How It All Ends by Emma Hunsinger is a coming of age story that we know: Girl has trouble fitting in during high school. She is not ready for the trials of being a teen. But, the thing is, she isn’t really a teen. She should be an 8th grader. She should be having homeroom, going to Six Flags, starting a first crush; not having to deal with boys who think interrupting their English teacher is funny. Doing group projects with a boy (thankfully she […]
Fun with Signs
Begin One Way: A Children's Book of Road Signs by Ioana Stoian
Recently I had the opportunity to read a book by Ioana Stoian. When I started to look for other books by them, I located the title Begin One Way: A Children’s Book of Road Signs (illustrated by Sophia Vincent Guy). At first, I was thinking how could anyone do a fun or interesting book about road signs? It had been done before; and honestly, it was a bit dull. However, while I am not jumping up and down saying this is the best book ever, […]
