The new king of the dads has risen.

December 15, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

My daughter can’t even read and she loves this book.  She says it’s about mommies, which is amazingly on point, since I haven’t read any of it to her. I also feel I should point out that the color scheme is the same as my old Livejournal.

Go ahead, break that 4th wall.

My daughter just informed me that B.J. Novak has a “robot’s name”.  That might explain how he doesn’t seem to age.

Proud Mary

When I clicked on the Amazon page for this book, I was shocked.  The cheapest they have it listed is $28.05, when it has $9.99 printed on the back.  I guess that’s cheaper than a trip to Long Beach, but as I wouldn’t recommend this book for anything other than a souvenir, you should probably spend your money on a different book.

“Orange” you glad I didn’t say banana?

December 14, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

“Orange” is the title of the Neil Gaiman story included in this book, and as it was his name on the cover that got be to buy it in the first place, I thought it should get some sort of mention.  While I enjoyed that story, it wasn’t my absolute favorite, so I left it out of my review.

Does he need them, though?

December 2, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

This is another book I got out of a free box.  I probably wouldn’t have paid money for it, but it was alright, I guess.
