I Am Not Boring: The True-Life Story of a Log by Lena Podesta
Honestly, I don’t know about you but if I see a brown thing (yeah, went there too, but realized it was a log) in cartoon form I tend to look at it and assume I will not be interested in it. And even with the words NOT and BORING that still would not grab my attention. However, for some odd reason I decided to pick up I Am Not Boring: The True-Life Story of a Log by Lena Podesta (due late May 2026) in an […]
Sloth & Moth: A Better-Together Friendship by Helen Taylor
Lately (and I have probably mentioned this before), I am finding books that I think are not the books for me so I pass them by without giving them a huge chance. I did this with Sloth & Moth: A Better-Together Friendship by Helen Taylor and illustrated by Gavin Scott. It was not because it was an online reader copy (the book is due mid April 2026) or even the cover was not grabbing me. I just was not in the mood to read another […]
The Search for Gluscap (Adventures of the Pugulatmu’j) Volume 2 by Brandon Mitchell, Kielamel Sibal and Veronika Barinova
The Search for Gluscap (Adventures of the Pugulatmu’j) is volume two in the series. They are both written by Brandon Mitchell, Kielamel Sibal (letterer), and Veronika Barinova (illustrator). This book assumes you have read the first volume (Giju’s Gift), so I do recommend reading it first. But I have not read book one, but I am curious how the characters are introduced as we have a Native girl and a spiritual being that will guide us along who we are already supposed to know the […]
The Baker and the Bard: A Cozy Fantasy Adventure by Fern Haught
I have wanted to read The Baker and the Bard: A Cozy Fantasy Adventure by Fern Haught since I first saw it coming out, which was probably around 2023 for reader copies, and then 2024 for finished editions. Now it is 2025 and I am glad that I read it via an online reader copy as it was terribly short and it had a few open spots that I felt needed to be filled in and while I enjoyed it, I do not want a […]
Tuck Me In! by Nathan W Pyle
My lunch time pastime is looking at old and new online reader copies. I swap back and forth as to which gets attention during that particular viewing. Recently the new ones were the lucky ones. I saw a thumbnail cover that had a moon and what I assumed was a beach on the cover. It said Tuck Me In!, and my first thought was (to be honest) that it looked boring as it was going to be just another bedtime story for babies and toddlers. […]
Hello, Beach! by Katherine Pryor and Rose Soini
All three board books which were read, were read via an online reader copy. All (but the one I have not yet read) are currently available. If you like easy board books that have a seasonal overtone, then the Katherine Pryor and Rose Soini books are for you. We have the books Hello, Beach!, Hello, Rain!, and Hello, Garden! And due in September 2025 is Hello, Snow! Overall, things are terribly simple as they are aimed at not just the board book crowd to look […]
