Dr. Temple Grandin must have something new coming out, has an important birthday or the fact autism is getting a push again right now, as we have had a review of an adult book about her, and now I have found the picture book, The Girl Who Thought in Pictures: The Story of Dr. Temple Grandin. This is a picture book by Julia Finley Mosca and therefore, is not going to go into extreme detail, and obviously does not go into the controversies around her. […]

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 18/30 Yep, still catching up on my April reviews. This one has been holding me up because the book was very good and very smart and those two things by themselves nearly always stymie me in my review-writing, but together it’s just a recipe for disaster. Brain frozen, words will not come. So I am starting this review—which I need to get out of the way because I want to be caught up on reviews before I […]

In one word: Gutting I have something shocking to say. I hope you’re sitting down. I’m behind in my book reviews. I KNOW, I KNOW. Utterly surprising, as um, it’s become my habit, wherein I let a few books pile up, and then stress about being “behind” which I am using quotation marks to illustrate the falsity of this statement.

Blood! Not Just a Vampire Drink by Stacy McAnulty

Good thing I am not a zombie, as it would have made me very hungry to see the delicious brain in all its glory on the pages of Brains! Not Just a Zombie Snack by Stacy McAnulty. Our zombie friend/chef is the nicest zombie you will ever meet, but you better not even let them smell your brain as it is a very important item for our survival (such as running away from zombies and telling us to get our thumb out of a vampire’s […]
