I’ve read so much I’m reading Valentines books already

Laugh Your Heart Out Valentine's Day Jokes by Chris Cate

by Leave a Comment

The end of December 2026 will have the book Laugh Your Heart Out Valentine’s Day Jokes by Chris Cate become available. I read it via an online reader copy, but don’t think I will be finding a finished copy for myself, as to be honest, Valentines Day is probably my least favorite major holiday. With that said, these jokes were not my least favorite. In fact, I will be remembering a few to tell people. Not to mention (but I will) that I read a […]

A colorful story from a colorful author

Midnight Manor: A Backwards Bedtime Book by Sid Sharp

by Leave a Comment

Have you ever read a book and thought, “Now what?” I did with Midnight Manor: A Backwards Bedtime Book by Sid Sharp (late September 2026; read via an online reader copy). There was a beginning, middle and end to the story, but I am not sure what to do with that. Sharp’s book is one of the most abstract solid books I have recently read. Sharp is the author of the quirky books, Bog Myrtle, and the The Wolf Suit to give you an idea […]

Uranus Is Full of Gas: Farty Facts about the Cheekiest Planet in the Solar System by Chris Ferrie and Michael Slack

by Leave a Comment

Uranus Is Full of Gas: Farty Facts about the Cheekiest Planet in the Solar System by Chris Ferrie and illustrated by Michael Slack.  Due February 2027; read via an online reader copy. If you are not familiar with me, let me introduce myself: I am an adult reader who is mentally a 10-year-old boy when it comes to gas, farts and body humor. And when you get a book called: Uranus Is Full of Gas, you know I am not going to look any farter… […]

Okay, I mean farts

Gomer the Gassy Goat: A Fart Filled Tale by Hayley Rose

by Leave a Comment

In 2020, Wonky Donkey by Craig Smith came out. In 2022 Gomer the Gassy Goat: A Fart Filled Tale by Hayley Rose came out. They are the same book in all forms except one is about a gassy goat and the other a wonky donkey. Okay not exactly alike, but the “House that Jack Built” concept is prominent in both as are the concepts.  Why do I mention a four and six year old book? Because in mid-October 2026 Gomer the Gassy Goat: A Fart […]

Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas...According to Max! by Alastair Heim and Aristides Ruiz

As you know, picture books are one of my favorite reads. I read and finish a book while I have a few free minutes, but do not have a lot of time to be “deep diving” into the reading world. And I get to have some fun images to help me imagine what the characters are up to. I get a picture of what the author wants. But I can’t always write a lot about each one, so here we are with a roundup of […]

I was going to use for Bingo, but I had way too many saved reviews and needed to pick!

The Great Puptective V03 The Big Mousetake by Alina Tysoe

by Leave a Comment

The Great Puptective V03 The Big Mousetake by Alina Tysoe is a cute third story in her Puptective series and has lots and lots of fun extras.  Oh, I probably should introduce the series. If you are not familiar with the Great Puptective series (book one is The Great Puptective and volume two Purranormal Activity) you should read them first. While book three is a bit of a standalone title, you’re going to want to have read all the books about this precocious pup and […]
