Murderbot Diaries V02 Artificial Condition by Martha Wells

Hilo Book 6: All the Pieces Fit by Judd Winick

This is How I Disappear by Mirion Malle

by Leave a Comment

My mood this week and reading has been all over this week. I found three different genres to get me through it. Not only have I done a crap tone of picture books just for the quick read, I had to find humor, serious, and a mixture of the two. I finished Murderbot Diaries V02 Artificial Condition by Martha Wells. I prefer the first one but did like the ending where Murderbot makes an interesting realization about how they have always just waited and “cleaned […]

Just the Right Cake by Christina Tosi starts off like any other cake book. It is raining so it is the perfect day to bake a cake. But if you ask Phil, he will tell you it would be a good day to bake a cake even if it was sunny. You see, Phil loves baking with his mom and dad. But today is different. It is just him and his mom. But even though the cake is made like they always did, something is […]

Too sweet

Kitty Sweet Tooth by Abby Denson

by Leave a Comment

I will start my review with, this is not my image of the graphic novel Kitty Sweet Tooth (book one) by Abby Denson. All of mine had big ol’ light/flash spots on it.  And very distracting. Besides, I liked the idea that some place out there someone has a Kitty Sweet Tooth doll. Granted, I do not want one, but I know that there will be several ages six to eight/nine who will after reading this book. Now I will add that there are several […]

It’s bad to be good

Little Good Wolf by Susan Stevens Crummel

by Leave a Comment

  This review has a few spoilers     I was really getting into the story of Little Good Wolf. Little Good Wolf plays with the piggies, cleans his room, brushes his teeth, takes baths, and even reads bedtime stories to himself. His parents are truly fed up with his actions, so they know drastic measures need to be taken. They must send him to Bad School. But no matter how hard his teachers try to teach him bad manners, clubbing people with clubs, and […]

Why wait for the holidays to celebrate?

Everyday Celebrations From Scratch by Maria Provenzano

by Leave a Comment

Maria Provenzano shares a plethora of recipes and crafts to make every meal a special occasion. Since I graduated from college, I have gotten rather into cooking – it’s soothing, and it introduces some variety in my diet. I love trying new recipes, especially if I like them enough that I can add them to my weekly rotations. I definitely found some recipes that I liked in this book, but I doubt the entire thing would suit me. The book is divided up into five […]

Not as much bang for the bosh

Bosh! On a Budget by Henry Firth, Ian Theasby

by 1 Comment

Several years ago (pre-pandemic) I’d been to the UK for business, and gotten hooked on the Tesco (major grocery chain over there) lunch combo (sandwich, chips, and drink) with a specific sandwich: the Ploughman’s lunch. Basically, that’s a cheese sandwich with tomato, lettuce, and a very specific pickle-type spread. That spread is commonly available in the UK but not so much in the US, and a few weeks after getting home, I had a major craving for that sandwich. I found a recipe that’s quite […]
