An ant and adventures

Ant Story by Jay Hosler

A recent library trip ended up in three books being picked out. One I realized I had already read, so I didn’t read it again, but figured someday I probably should. It’s a good book, fun and simple. Nothing WOW but one that allows for a comfort read. The one book I might not read again, but maybe read sequels, is Ant Story by Jay Hosler. The phrase don’t judge a book by its cover is probably an understatement here. I figured with the cute cartoon […]

Talking to Dad

Dear Dad: Growing Up with a Parent in Prison—and How We Stayed Connected by Jay Jay Patton, Antoine Patton, Kiara Valdez and Markia Jenai

I went to the library to drop off some books I had finished and to drop off my reading challenge form. My ride had some errands to run, so I told them to drop me off, and I would use the library as a way to pick up and read a few books I normally wouldn’t read. But first, I looked at the children’s room. I hadn’t been in there too often, and not since they had updated it. But the fist section I went […]

Slither by Joseph Delaney

Slither by Joseph Delaney

I finished Slither around 2 am today and honestly this was just not good. You know all the ways that made “I Am Grimalkin” so fantastic? Totally missing here. It doesn’t help that even though she shows up, we don’t get her POV which maybe would have helped. Instead we stay in the head of Slither (a terrible character) and Nessa (an oldest daughter forced to have to deal with the fact her father sold her into slavery and certain death). Also there is way […]

The Lure of the Dead by Joseph Delaney

The Lure of the Dead by Joseph Delaney

Well well well. I knew certain people were full of it, and this book shows us who they are. At this point all is revealed to Tom and he is left with a terrible choice. He either lets the Fiend bring the dark (and honestly who cares at this point) or he has to kill someone he loves to stop him forever. This whole book was just the Spook being shown he is not up to the task of being the Spook and things more […]

Grimalkin the Witch Assassin by Joseph Delaney

Grimalkin the Witch Assassin by Joseph Delaney

Wow. Just wow. This honestly is the best book I have read in the series and it is now my favorite. This book had everything and even at one point had me in tears. I loved the insight it gave us to Grimalkin, why she was so focused on destroying the Fiend, and what it means to her to be a witch assassin. “Grimalkin the Witch Assassin” is told in the POV of Grimalkin. Each chapter has her talking to someone (you quickly find out […]

Rage of the Fallen by Joseph Delaney

Rage of the Fallen by Joseph Delaney

Rubs eyes. At this point I think that the series is going to have each book with Tom traveling to each country that has ever been in a matter of days and have him take out another big bad. This book always cements the fact that Tom is a Gary Sue. And that Alice is the best thing ever and maybe that is who we should have been following all along. “Rage of the Fallen” has our merry trio (not really) traveling to Ireland to […]
