GN LAR (Reviewing “All My Friends”)
So… a long break from reading for me. Mostly because I’m also running a small business on the side. Sewing took over for the last few months as I figured out what market season looks like as a vendor. I have a better idea of what my year will look like in the future from…
FIC FEL (Reviewing “Wishing Upon the Same Stars”)
We changed our family schedule and it has led to the loss of reading time for me. It’s not a bad thing, it just means that it takes me a long time to get through a book now. So a book that would take me a couple days is now taking me a couple of…
FIC PER (Reviewing “Cameron Battle and the Hidden Kingdoms”)
So I’m not sure if it was a change in schedule/routine around our home, my anxiety brain, or the book itself, but I had a really difficult time finishing “Cameron Battle and the Hidden Kingdoms” by Jamar J. Perry. The book itself was wonderfully middle grade and features an all Black cast of characters, which…
FIC PAU (Reviewing “Northwind”)
So traditionally, a Gary Paulsen novel wouldn’t be the first thing I reach for to read. I reach “Hatchet” in 5th grade (like so many millennials did) and while I enjoyed it, I wasn’t overly enamored with it. Fantasy and sci fi are wicked temptresses that always pulled me away. But THIS book…. I read…
FIC VED (Reviewing “The Bone Spindle”)
So… this post isn’t going up on a Sunday. Oops. Blame the 100+ assignments I graded and the Benadryl I took. This week’s read was the genre where my heart and soul lie: YA fantasy! “The Bone Spindle” by Leslie Vedder is a gender-bent, queer positive retelling of Sleeping Beauty that’s mixed with a little…
SC SER (Reviewing “Serendipity: Ten romantic tropes transformed”)
So this is the PERFECT time of the year (just before Valentine’s Day hits) to pick up a book of love stories and “Serendipity: Ten Romantic Tropes Transformed” edited by Marissa Meyer did NOT disappoint from the Young Adult side of the aisle. This book includes short stories from a star studded cast of Young…
FIC RHU (Reviewing “Operation Sisterhood”)
I’m finally back to reading and reviewing books! I took a long break after leaving my job, starting a new job, and launching a small business (I’m not even joking) and now that 2022 is here, I’m jumping back on the reading horse, so to speak. My goals are to read new books in the…
E MEL (Reviewing “A New Day”)
I’m long overdue for a picture book review! It’s gonna be a short one since picture books, by the nature, are short, too, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have things to say about this particular book! In “A New Day” by Brad Meltzer and illustrated by Dan Santat, Sunday is feeling underappreciated and over…
FIC STR (Reviewing “It’s Not Me, It’s You”)
Dumped publicly right before her senior prom, Avery Dennis decides that she needs to understand what happened – she’s always been the one to dump her significant other, NOT the other way around. So Avery swears off dating and decides that in order to better understand why all of her relationships have ended, she’s going…
796.522 OLS (Reviewing “Into the Clouds: The Race to Climb the World’s Most Dangerous Mountain”)
“Into the Clouds: The Race to Climb the World’s Most Dangerous Mountain” by Tod Olson follows the three attempts made by Charlie Houston and his team in 1953 to climb K2, a mountain with a 29% fatality rate for the climbers who attempt to summit her (compared to Everest’s 6.5%). Houston headed an 8-man British-American…
