Usually by this point with an author, I’ve gotten bored/annoyed or they’ve gotten predictable. This is Drew Hayes book number 13 for me, and no author fatigue in sight. The only other author I can think of with this kind of reading record for me is Terry Pratchett. Drew Hayes is not Sir Terry, but not in a bad way. Even though Corpies is set in the same world as Super Powereds, and includes some character crossover, there’s still enough new characters and situations that […]
If We Don’t Eat Our Classmates, what is a poor Dino to Do?
We Don’t Eat Our Classmates Penelope is told in Ryan T. Higgins latest book. But that is a very hard thing to not do, as she is a dinosaur and her classmates are all children. And children are ever so tasty! Higgins creates a new first day of school story with an absurd twist. As we are informed at the start (oddly enough by Penelope) dinosaurs are extinct and we will not get eaten by one, so we do not have to worry about that. […]
Mysteries According to Humphrey: A hamster
It is usually not a good idea to start in the middle of a series. There are too many “back pieces of information” you are not privy to. Of course, for the adult reading, it is a good way to gage if the series is good. The first in a series can always be good. It sets the story up, so unless it is just plain bad, there is not a lot to complain about. But if you are picking up the series in the […]
The Great Escape
Meet Inky an octopus who is a Houdini of a guy……octopus. Unknown to me, Inky’s Great Escape: The Incredible (and Mostly True) Story of an Octopus Escape is (very loosely) based on a real octopus who escaped from tank at the aquarium. In April 2016, The New York Times published a story about the real Inky who escaped from the National Aquarium of New Zealand through a drainpipe and eventually found its way to the sea. Inky is tired of his exciting ocean life, where […]
Bad Beauty and the Beast fanfic
I read through some of y’alls reviews and I apologize up front because I’ve been really looking forward to writing this review about how laughably awful I find these books. I’ll include a few more disclaimers. I think these books are trash and I do this to myself because this is the second time I’ve read these series and that’s like one and a half times too many. But not only did I read all three, I reread them. I have only myself to blame for […]
Sanderson is getting Martinitis with the Stormlight Archive
You guys, this book is long. LOOOOOONNNGGGG. It took me over a month to read half of it – I took it out from the library months ago, there was a reserve on it so I couldn’t renew it, and had to pick it back up four months later and I STILL struggled to read it on time, despite being very eager to finish the story. While it’s not quite into Game of Thrones territory in terms of needing edits, but it’s in the ballpark. […]
