The book that is NSFW and yet somehow I got away with reading it there…..

That Sexy Bea by Owlin

by Leave a Comment

That Sexy Bear by Lin Visel and Joseph Bergin III (or Owlin) is totally and completely screwed up. And that is being really polite! I really don’t want to go on as it left a funky taste in my mouth. It feels soapy. Why? Because I needed a 10 hour bath after reading with a lot of soap to wash all the parts as the whole experience was creepy AF. OMG there are women’s breasts, and natural who-ha’s hanging out; there are a couple of […]

This is really neat to learn about!

Pufflings Fly Free!: A Rescue Tale from Iceland by Colleen Paeff and by Linda Ólafsdóttir

by Leave a Comment

Recently (via email) I met someone who actually goes out and helps wood frogs and salamanders at night cross the road. I had heard about this, but never knew someone who actually did it. This person recommended their book Is It Time, Yet? (by Lynn Levine and Dirk Steinhoefel). I will be finding a copy of it soon. But in the meantime, I found Pufflings Fly Free!: A Rescue Tale from Iceland by Colleen Paeff and illustrated by  Linda Ólafsdóttir. This book is basically the […]

The Greenies V01 by Emma Mills and illustrator Sarah Nicole Kennedy Recently I have been locating many of my older links and then finding the books included in them are available, but I still have access to the links, but that is good, as I learn it is not “wow best book ever” just “that was good” so a physical copy is not wanted to keep. But that is also good as if you like the review you can run out and grab your own […]

When Misfits Go Exploring

The Marsh Fellows by Anna-Laura Sullivan

by Leave a Comment

Once upon a time a young girl liked to read. She grew up to be an adult (physically) who liked to read. And one day, due to an email she received saying, “Sign up for a chance to win these books” she did. And she won several online reader copies from IDW Comics & Entertainment and Top Shelf Productions. She was excited. Finally a lunchtime came where she could start reading. She was not sure which one to start with, but since one book had […]

You can’t be cool with a bowl cut…. or can you?

Don't Cause Trouble by Arree Chung

by Leave a Comment

Don’t Cause Trouble by Arree Chung is currently available, but I read as an online reader copy found deep in my saved links. It is a fun book about not fitting in for the reader ages 8 to 12- (young)-13. It is not overly an in depth story, but a reflective story that is relatable for most. The illustrations are pretty much what you see from the cover, but there are more details on the actual internal panels. It is still minimal in fine detailing, […]

Wanted: All types of brains

All Brains Welcome: Embracing ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and More by Johanna Peyton and Olga Popova

by Leave a Comment

The picture book All Brains Welcome: Embracing ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and More by Johanna Peyton and illustrator Olga Popova is not perfect, but close as it strongly introduces neurodivergent brain types in an easy-to-understand and accessible manner. We learn about 12 different types of situations a brain, and therefore its human, can deal with. It also includes neurotypical brains as just “part of the spectrum” of wonderful brain types. It gives an inclusive feeling. It is letting us see that there is no “other” in […]
