Spirited Volume one: Day of the Living Liv by Liv Livingston
Liv Livingston tells her story in Spirited Volume one: Day of the Living Liv. Okay, I am not sure who the author actually is, maybe she has a ghostwriter? After all, Liv is starting a new school and her classmates are kinda a dead bunch to be around. No really, a lot of them are ghosts and boy do they have questions about Liv and being alive! (Yes, we need umbrellas when it rains.) This is a cute story about being yourself and that is […]
Sinclair, The Velociraptor Who Thought He Was a Chicken by Douglas Rees
Millie Fleur's Poison Garden. by Christy Mandin
I cannot wait for July 2024 and these two books to officially come out. Both titles were read as online reader copies, and Douglas Rees and Christy Mandin have written two of my favorite reads (so far) of 2024. Rees has Sinclair, The Velociraptor Who Thought He Was a Chicken. Edna, the very first chicken, is hatching her very first eggs! And when her chicks are hatched, all the gals are lovely chickens. But there is one egg left, and when it hatches (even though […]
Pancakes for Findus (Findus and Pettson) by Sven Nordqvist
The Van Buren Sisters vs. the Pants Police by J.F. Fox
A Garden Called Home by Jessica J. Lee and Elaine Chen
Picture books are a great way to read books and have fun as well. You not only read a book (and can read several in a day: Think of a tailor and some flies and “seven in one blow”), but you can learn something. Like how to make pancakes out of your pants, or what britches are, and even that some plants need snow to help them grow. And not only that, you can just have a delightful story you can solo read or read […]
From My Head to My Toes by Aly Raisman
Lights Out: A Movement to Help Migrating Birds by Jessica Stremer
Ollie, the Acorn, and the Mighty Idea by Andrew Hacket
CBR16SweetChallenge #Binge More picture books that I read … and in fact I have more to come, but this is already 760 words so giving you a break! Wrap up time! Picture books are a favorite of mine. You can get almost any subject out there and it’s presented in a neat (usually) package. Three books, three reviews and one theme: I read these. We know the story about body autonomy and enthusiastic consent, but From My Head to My Toes goes beyond that. Aly […]
Dance with the Devil by Kit Rocha
4.5 stars After his father died, Rafael “Rafe” Morales basically sold himself to TechCorps and agreed to become a technologically enhanced supersoldier, so he could make enough money to keep his widowed mother and younger siblings safe. He didn’t really know what signing away his life would entail, and given the choice again, he probably would have chosen differently. He hasn’t been able to see them for years, certainly not since he and his team, the Silver Devils, had to fake their own deaths to […]
