The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe by Jane Wagner

4 stars Going into this I had no idea what to expect. This book was crazy, weird, and everything I needed. Such a fantastic read that sends you on a roller coaster of emotions and experiences. Silly, funny, heartbreaking, eyeopening, relatable, anger-inducing, frustrating, tear jerking, humorous. This book encompasses a range of human life and…

My Own Words by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Mary Hartnett, and Wendy W. Williams

4 stars A fascinating book for those interested specifically in Justice Ginsburg’s writings (bench announcements, dissents, lectures, speeches).  This is a very unique book because instead of just talking about how amazing Ginsburg is (which is true, of course), it collects and presents various writings that she wrote in her lifetime, demonstrating first-hand just how…

In my head, I think I like unicorns, but honestly, most of the time I find stories about them kind of boring. However Marigold is lovely (duh!) and magnificent and…

Adventure Time Comics, Volume 2

4 stars So I am kind of obsessed with this series.  I read the first one last week and liked it well enough. After reading this one, I found I liked it a little better than the first. The stories were more interesting to me and seemed more well-developed.  This is a fun collection of…

How to Catch a Unicorn by Adam Wallace

4 stars Overall, a fun, engaging read, perfect for young unicorn-lovers.  I most enjoyed the fun and colorful details in the illustrations. All of the trap designs were interesting and it was neat to see how the animal friends helped prevent the unicorn from getting caught.  I also thought the rhyming was good. It had…
