Every so often, I locate a book that I read because I need something quick and something I do not want to put a lot of effort into it. However, this time, while the books were short and quick, I had to put my brain to work collection the facts and following the stories of two adorable creatures of the wild. There is a third title, Surviving the Wild: Sunny the Shark, but I have not had an opportunity finding for a readers copy, or […]

This list of books are fun titles that I am unable to write a full review of. Therefore, I am giving highlights of one graphic novel and three picture books. After you say, “a fun story of friends and summer camp” you have pretty much said it all about Click V02 Camp by Kayla Miller. I should add it is a graphic novel with the cover giving you pretty much all you need to know about the illustrations. They are colorful and funny. There is […]

I entered to win several titles from the publisher that does The Mess That We Made by Michelle Lord. I was not a winner, but as a consolation price I was able to get a free digital copy (that I was able to access!) of the is picture book from about a year ago. It seems familiar, as I might have read it before, even reviewed it. Yet is possible that it just like other conservation titles and feels similar with its presentation and tone. […]

Both books Forest Dreams by Imai and Kate, Who Tamed the Wind by Liz Garton Scanlon (illustrated by Lee White) take the theme of trees and conservation and make two different stories. Yet, while the path they take is different, the end of the journey results in the same goal. Forest Dreams is an interesting story, but in some ways, it is abstract, too. Ayano Imai has created some very lovely illustrations to complement their text and its conservation theme. The dream the narrator […]

You can be kind too

I Am Enough by debut collaborators Grace Byers and Keturah A. Bobo is a story of self-confidence and kindness for girls everywhere. They show girls of all backgrounds and colors. I would have liked to have seen both girls and boys laughing, singing, running races together. But with that said it is a lovely book with even more lovely illustrations. Meant for a younger audience to have it read to them, the slightly older reader could read it to a younger sibling. In Digger and […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
