My Creepy Valentine by Arthur Howard
Valentine’s Day books are already out and about on the displays at work. Yes, it is a short season, but somehow, I always feel like we should wait a little longer into January to start putting them out. However, I am glad that this was not the case this year. If we had waited, I probably would not have found My Creepy Valentine by Arthur Howard. Oh my goodness! This is an adorable book if I do say so myself (and I do). Mitzi, the […]
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara and the Pirates’ Silver by Faith Erin Hicks
All you need to know is that Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara and the Pirates’ Silver is about Katara and pirates. And it is created by Faith Erin Hicks, Peter Wartman and Adele Matera. But if you need more, our Avatar and his friends Sokka and Toph have a side story, that deals with a Fire Nation/Fire Bender Solider. This man, of course, believes the lies the nation has created about the Air Benders. And Ang takes it upon himself to try and change his […]
The Ghosts Went Floating by Kim Norman
I am going to say it. I am not ashamed. I almost peed myself laughing at The Ghosts Went Floating. I thought my coworkers would come into the office and think that I had officially finally lost it for good this time. But I did not care! I would just have told them that Kim Norman is a genius! Norman took “The Ants go Marching” song and gave it the most awesome of awesome twists: put that tune to a Halloween theme. I have seen […]
Dad Is Fat by Jim Gaffigan
I like Jim Gaffigan, and I’m not apologizing for it. I find his humour comforting and low-key, and I also eat like a toddler and enjoy it/hate myself for it, so there’s that. When Gaffigan had his Twitter outburst a few months ago, some people were surprised at his politics, and some were pissed that he didn’t speak up sooner, but he’s never really hidden his more progressive leanings. He just didn’t highlight them (like I just did on my kindle har har) or make […]
Nat Enough V01 Nat Enough by Maria Scrivan
Nat Enough (book one in the Nat Enough series) I thought was by another author/illustrator when I first looked at it. But it is by Maria Scrivan. This was the last book I read in 2020. It was a fun way to end the year. The story is familiar (fitting in at school, friendship pains and finding yourself) but that is what made it a good end of the year read. It was cozy and no real surprises. The ages it is aimed at (strong […]
Earth Boy by Paul Tobin
While I would have liked a little more action in this graphic novel with the name, Earth Boy, this was a fun book that has an overall story that is packed with just enough to keep me reading. In fact, I just might reread it at some point and that is something I rarely do. Now, granted, there are several plot point or story arc holes, but that did not take away from the fact it was just (as said above) a fun story. Paul […]
