Dewdrop by Kay O’Neill

5 stars Another enchanting tale from Kay O’Neill. I’ve loved everything I’ve read from them so I had to check out this children’s graphic novel. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I enjoyed every page. While the story is much simpler than her other tales, it’s perfect for young readers to read alone or with…

Mr. Popularity (Big Nate)

2 stars Note: this is the first I have read of anything Big Nate-related. An okay collection of comics originally published 2009 to 2010. The collection was fine, mostly I just don’t think it was a good fit for me personally. I had a difficult time assessing who this book was targeted toward. The characters…

Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy, Part 1: The Night of the Nasty Nostril Nuggets (Captain Underpants #6) by Dav Pilkey (Audio Version)

5 stars The grossest Captain Underpants adventure so far. Even in audio format, the descriptions are stomach churning, complete with disgusting sound effects. Absolutely hilarious and very entertaining. This far into the series and I am solidly enjoying the audio format. I loved these books as a kid and wasn’t sure how well they’d translate…

The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

3 stars Listening to this audiobook was… a journey. Started off to kind of a rocky start, but after things picked up a bit I was interested in the premise. For a good chunk of the story, I was convinced I was going to like it, which surprised me given my usual dislike of Flynn’s…
