I do not have this physical book or audiobook, so thank you to whoever this kind hand is! It wouldn’t let me upload the cover from Goodreads for some reason, so here we are! OK so I read this as a suggestion from some website or another because of Earth Day. It was like “climate change books to read” or something benign like that. I was like “oh great, I’d love to have some updated suggestions on how to combat climate change.” Boy was […]

I am assuming the below titles are from a series called Graphic Novel, with each having its own sub-series within that umbrella title. But I could be wrong, as stranger things have happened (I got my dad to eat fish and chips with me more than once). And in this series they take subjects and introduce them to readers ages 8 to 14.

Review: How does one review a collection […]

Our House Is on Fire: Greta Thunberg's Call to Save the Planet by Jeanette Winter

I was worried that Our House Is on Fire: Greta Thunberg’s Call to Save the Planet by Jeanette Winter would be preachy.

However, it is a lovely and straight forward look at Ms. Thunberg and what she did and what she is doing. I have a feeling the text is as […]

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.

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.
