In the Language of Miracles by Rajia Hassib

3 stars I received an advance uncorrected proof of this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest view. This is a beautifully written book.

Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things by Ted Naifeh

3 stars A cool idea for a graphic novel. The book itself is gorgeous and the stories are interesting. This was a fun read, a little bit spooky and a little bit silly. Country’s character is headstrong and doesn’t let anyone stand in her way, which makes her very likeable. She is a strong lead…

However, I think Hawking does a good job of simplifying the information and giving real-world examples that make the concepts…

2 stars Disclaimer: I have not read the first two books and had no knowledge of the plot before I found a copy of this book for two dollars and was intrigued enough by the cover to give it a try without realizing it was the third book in a series. However, I feel that…

How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You by Matthew Inman

4 stars A very funny and light hearted book. You aren’t going to learn anything from this book. And that’s okay. Sometimes it’s nice to read something solely to brighten your mood. This is a must read for cat lovers as it portrays many of the common experiences cat owners share (staring contests, the dangers…
