Cry Wolf Girl by Ariel Slamet Ries
I think I dislike everything about this book, Cry Wolf Girl, yet it was an amazing read. I just could not put it down. There are no natural breaks so it was not like I could stop at the end of a chapter but that didn’t matter. I just wanted to gobble it up. The book makes you think, feel and question. There are clearly marked paths we are taking, but things are not straight forward. It is artistic. It is not what you think […]
A Great Deliverance (Inspector Lynley no.1) by Elizabeth George
In a small town in the English countryside, the head of a well-liked local farmer is violently separated from his body. Holding the axe that facilitated the act is his daughter Roberta, sitting nearby and exclaiming her lack of regret over it all. But things don’t add up, and Scotland Yard sends inspector and eighth earl of Pudsey-Le-Stodge Thomas Lynley to crack the case. He is accompanied by bundle of nerves and 8th season Eastenders character Barbara Havers. Can Havers put aside her dislike for […]
Tonight Is Krampus Night by Kyle Sullivan
One thing I try to do every year is to find at least three Christmas books and at least one other winter holiday book. The Christmas books I try to find are a religious one, a more fun one (Santa, or silly reindeer have been in the past) and an Other book (maybe spiritual but it hits the spirit of things). I try to find one Hanukkah and one Winter Solstice, or something that is a holiday and/or just fun. This year I found a […]
Whose Furry Butt Is That? by Christianne Jones
Butt or Face? V03 Super Goss Butts by Kari Lavelle
Butt or Face? Volume 4: Ador-A-Butts! by Kari Lavelle
There are several books in my “naughty but funny” category when it comes to the “is it butt or face” question in the genre of children’s science books. This time Whose Furry Butt Is That? gets down to the bottom of things and asks the hard questions. Or the question of can you tell who this butt belongs too? There are hints, clues and photographic images. Things are funny and educational. It will get your younger reader interested while they giggle (mommy/daddy/teacher said BUTT!). In […]
Witch Hazel: Variety Hour by Colton Fox and Beige Blum
I have a subscription to Silver Sprocket books. I need to pause and/or cancel as I have so many books from them and I just cannot keep up! But I did get a chance to read Witch Hazel: Variety Hour by Colton Fox and Beige Blum. When I opened the package, stickers and a few postcard items fell out. There was a Witch Hazel poster and another book. I was amused at the fact that the book was in a comic book style, but was […]
Hansel and Gretel by Stephen King and Maurice Sendak
You might have heard that Stephen King took Maurice Sendak’s illustrations and sent them out into the world as a picture book called Hansel and Gretel. Here is the story of how I finally read it: One Saturday I needed a change of scenery and took a few hours to browse my local library. I sat at a table (in a too tall chair), read half of an adult graphic novel (while charging my phone, and after breaking a fingernail trying to get said book), […]
