Other Broken Things by C. Desir

by Leave a Comment

Oh boy! Did I hate this book by C. Desir for the first few chapters: Natalie is a spoiled rich girl and is a “drunk” and of course thinks she does not have a problem; that everyone parities. Her character was a cliché from the first word. She, of course, blames everyone else for her problems, but does not admit they are problems. Even during a cliched moment (that I had really hoped was not going to happen) near the end of the book, she […]

Margaret’s Unicorn by Briony May Smith

Margaret’s Unicorn is a cute story about a young girl who misses her old home after she and her parents move to be closer to her grandmother. The end. Oh wait, there is a unicorn too. This is a special friend she makes that helps make the move a little easier. Therefore, all the parts of a moving story are there (new house, new smells, new spaces, new emotions, and new friend). Briony May Smith’s story is exactly what you would expect it to be […]

Morris. Looking at it I asked myself, “Self. Why did you buy this book?” I answered myself, “Maybe because it has a Koala Bear? You like Koalas.” Regardless of the why, I figured that this was a sign to […]

What the Road Said by Cleo Wade

by Leave a Comment

A book that is getting a lot of press right now is What the Road Said by Cleo Wade. I was interested but not in an OMG I have to find it. The other day it came across my desk and I gave it a look. My first thought was that it was a cool cover. It was simple, the road is centered, and I was getting a pleasant eye image to start with. I was not sure if I was going to like it […]

Being sick and loss of a phone means you get to read. A lot.

Bedhead Ted by Scott SanGiacomo

by 1 Comment

Bedhead Ted is funny without being crude or lewd. The humor that Scott SanGiacomo created is not the LOL kind of humor, but a more subtle humor due to the atmosphere of the story. Of course, there are laughing out loud moments too. There is a friendship story, tall tales, rumors, misunderstandings, jealousy, bullies, magic hair, what makes an actual superhero and a girl who does not smile. And possibly a giant monster raccoon. Aimed at ages 6/7 to 10, this is familiar story will […]
