Moonlight Prance by Serena Gingold Allen

January 6, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The publisher description of Moonlight Prance says it best: Foxes, hedgehogs, and other nocturnal animals come out to dance and play at night, in this rhyming bedtime story with tabs to pull and push. I had been wondering about the tab part of the book as I read it via online and there were these … [Read more]

Well, it has a nice theme

Mermaid and Pirate by Tracey Baptiste

January 6, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Picture books are my current go-to as they make me happy. They are quick, usually fun, and you can say, “By George the Third! I have finished a book!” And that sense of accomplishment is a real mood booster! However, I read a book that gave me the “I finished a book feeling” but also had a “That was … [Read more]

Unfortunately, Not For Me

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

January 6, 2023 by Bibliophile 2 Comments

Before I got out of school for winter break I asked my school librarian for drive suggestions, since I had to endure some long flights. I've been reading a lot of mystery lately, so I asked for some suggestions in that genre. They all sounded good and seemed like things that I would enjoy, so I … [Read more]

Love Island

Death in the Family by Tessa Wegert

January 6, 2023 by Jake Leave a Comment

There are two things going on with this book, one I loved, the other I just found meh. The good thing is the main case. It's a Knives Out esque Rich People Being Bad tale playing out on a storm swept island. I liked the way our heroine, Det. Shana Merchant navigated between the good, bad, and … [Read more]

“Can’t you understand that, when you have to be careful all the time, it’s dreadful to see things like that being accepted? They’re not even alive.” Pratchett’s Look at Oppression and Personhood

Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett

January 5, 2023 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I'm a Discworld fan but have never done a complete read of all the books, and so my experience has been a bit chaotic in reading these. I picked this up on a trip randomly and just got around to it a few months later, so another entry in my piecemeal approach to Pratchett's work. Often times my big … [Read more]
