Double Booking: The Tail of the Mummy Cat by Pangburn, Kim Shearer and Nic Touris

by Leave a Comment

Do you remember the Choose Your Own Adventure books? (FYI: they still have them. ) Anyway, at first, I thought that the book, Double Booking: The Tail of the Mummy Cat by Pangburn, Kim Shearer and Nic Touris, was going to be one of them when I found an online reader copy of it (though currently available). I figured, well this will be interesting to try and read. Thankfully (or maybe not thankfully depending on if you think it might be fun to try a […]

Cool, but bizarre. But you know, cool.

Little Moments in a Big Universe by Todd Stewart

by Leave a Comment

Little Moments in a Big Universe is a romantic story about bravery, kindness, even environmentally friendly. There are lush, rich, deep, amazing, unique illustrations which capture each moment and allow it to explode to life. The theme is familiar, but the presentation makes for an experience unlike anything else you might have read before. The author and illustrator Todd Stewart (due mid October 2025; read via an online reader) takes several characters and an explorer in a spaceship through the universe. When they crash into […]

Unstoppable #1 Victories Greater Than Death  by Charlie Jane Anders

by 2 Comments

There are a lot of good things that are included in Unstoppable #1 Victories Greater Than Death by Charlie Jane Anders. However, not only is this a book that while you can stop after book one you need the series to fill in blanks, there are events that I just could not like. I know that this is a controversial statement due to the subjects included. We deal a lot with gender (in fact it is such an important part of things, when someone introduces themselves […]

Not sure if I’ll read the sequels

The Changeling: Volume 1 by Tina N. Lugo

by Leave a Comment

Tina N. Lugo’s The Changeling: Volume 1 was not a “pure” three, but is not a 2 either. Maybe a 2.75? It is a series that needs all volumes to be read at once and that would have probably boosted the rating. Volume 2 should be available and volume 3 is due end of April/early may 2025.  There are a few pages of introduction in this first volume that allows the reader to have background information on the characters, which allows you to be able […]

More than the crow flies

Cranky, Crabby Crow (Saves the World) by Corey R. Tabor

by Leave a Comment

At first I didn’t think I would like Cranky, Crabby Crow (Saves the World),  but the twist at the end is perfect for kids of all ages. The idea of Corey R. Tabor is simple: a Crow chases off anyone who wants to befriend him, get him to play or give advice. But things are not what they seem. There is a ring-ring nearby, a secret conversation and message (a sassy Kaw!) and one heck of a surprise for the reader. This simple thing turns […]

Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast V07 Whodonut?: A Holiday Mystery by Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney

by 1 Comment

Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney had me at Miss Maple and lost me at gummy bugs! Okay, well, they didn’t lose me, just made me pause. But then they had me again at Elvis Parsley.  This seventh addition to the Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast series, Whodonut?: A Holiday Mystery is a fun, cute and different holiday story. While the “Who Dun-it” aspect and the idea of the last book in a series is not new, the way Funk and Kearney presents things is […]
