I am usually not a huge Fitz and Cleo fan, though I do enjoy them. And even though Cleo can have a lot of “muchness” to her, they are sweet characters that are familiar and cozy. However, even though Cleo is still unapologetically herself (a bit naughty, mischievous, and a smidgen bossy), this book, Fitz and Cleo Put a Party on It was terribly pleasantly sweet and the perfect amount of silly. It is probably my favorite out of the books I have read of this brother and sister […]

As I stand by your pages I get cut once again Feelin’ low down, I’m blue Yes, darlin’ I’ve the twos for you.

The main character is female, but not sure if she is actually a role model. I will leave that up to you. I think that Jonathan Stutzman created a story that is a “love it or hate it book” there will be no in between for most people. For me, there was something was missing. […]

By Friday, Llama will destroy the world

Llama Destroys the World by Jonathan Stutzman

I had high hopes for Llama Destroys the World. (As I somewhat liked Tiny T. Rex and it just sounded funny). Okay, the title does not instill confidence, but I was expecting a Llama hero causing an accident and then POOF! Magically saves the day. What happened instead was a piggy llama who ate all the cake, got too big for his britches (literally) and caused not only a rip in his pants but the universe as well with a black hole. Now, many think […]

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.
