Friend Carl might not have liked being a book prop, but I liked this book.

Orphanland by Lauren Fischer

by 2 Comments

The story behind the book is better than the book, Orphanland by Lauren Fischer, and it is a good book. Or at least I think so, as it made a cozy memory to be connected to a book with a not so cozy theme. I was going to read it online, but got a finished paperback (after requesting the online book and the author contacting me saying thanks for requesting) from the author. We emailed a little bit as we were talking about the book, […]

Finding wings

Bird by Kristin Rosetta Elliott Hood

by Leave a Comment

Through the site that I get most of my online readers, I found several older titles. And by older I mean as far back as even 2002. The publisher was reissuing a few things I was assuming, but that is always fun as you never know what you will find. One of those books, that I almost did not read, was Bird by Kristin Rosetta Elliott Hood and illustrated by Shadra Strickland. This was one from 2017. This book was at first something that seemed […]

A game of reality

Lo and Behold by Wendy Mass

by Leave a Comment

CBR16SweetChallenge #Cozy (has a feeling of cozy, and deals with themes in a less intense manner) The graphic novel Lo and Behold by Wendy Mass and illustrated by Gabi Mendez is a sweet story about Addy, a young girl who must learn to have empathy, sympathy and forgiveness for her father, mother, and most importantly, herself. There is a lot about VR technology and its real world applications. Adults can enjoy it as well as kids (strong 8/9 to 12-13). There is a little about […]

Of butterflies and spirits

A Blanket of Butterflies (The Spirit of Denendeh Volume One) by Richard Van Camp

As I Enfold You in Petals (The Spirit of Denendeh, Volume 2). by Richard Van Camp

A while back I found a reader copy request form. After asking and receiving it, I realized it was book two. I did find book one, but never got around to reading it. After receiving the second book, there was still no reading of it. I only realized why I had the delay the night I read them. They are books that must be read “at the right time,” otherwise you will not be ready for them. The books were A Blanket of Butterflies (The […]

Roxy by Neal Shusterman, Jarrod Shusterman

I don’t think I’ve ever positively reviewed a book I haven’t finished, but this here’s going to be the first. Because I’m the kind of person who can’t rewatch the Scott’s Tots episode of The Office, and who cringes just thinking about that one scene in On His Way to the Wedding (by Julia Quinn: Spoiler for a Bridgerton book ahead) when Gregory professes his love in front of all of London, and … it does not go well.  I just sometimes get to a point […]
