3 stars A good follow-up to the first book. Weird things continue to happen at Monster High and the trio is concerned about how things are progressing. My main critique of the book is that not much happens. There is a lot of filler and it appears to just set the stage for the third…

A magical collection of princess-themed short reads that explore new spins on some classics as well as forging their own tales. I adored the variety in this collection. There is so much packed into such a small package. From slaying dragons and steampunk adventures to moon magic and love at first sight. There is a…

A fascinating collection that asks how the world of fantasy creatures is doing during the current pandemic. From vampires seeking creative solutions to finding their next meal to ghosts that need a break from their humans during lockdown, these stories explore how the speculative fiction world is dealing with current conditions, each in only 100…

3 stars On the whole, a nice, fun read. The first book in the series introduces the characters, lays out the basic setting, and starts the mystery regarding the strange occurrences at Monster High. While it is helpful to have an idea of the main characters of Monster High, this book can be read without…

2 stars For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-Cycle I bought this and the first book at a library sale. Was intrigued by the cutesy-morbid style and the pun-y titles. As with the first one, I thought this one was just okay. Interesting concept but the plot centers mostly around teenage drama with some supernatural…

This ocean-themed collection features five of my drabbles: “Cleon’s Stone Figurehead”, “Shark Fin Soup”, “The Octopus’ Garden”, “The Sea Maiden”, and “Underwater Jesus”. Bite-sized stories told in exactly 100 words, this anthology is perfect when you have limited time to read. It allows you to read a few stories here and there or go on…

2 stars Okay read. As I’ve said in other reviews, I have a love/hate relationship with Chelsea Handler. I can find her humor funny at times, but I’m not a huge fan of offensive, derogatory humor. Plus, I don’t really like lying, which she is very proud of doing. For the most part, I felt…

2 stars Okay read. More rambling than the earlier books. Like many of the other books, there isn’t a ton going on plotwise and it is mostly Hubie worrying. However, I found this one less entertaining. Not much happens and Hubie mostly just complains about how bored he is. The book does incorporate different sayings…

The same hilarious story I loved growing up, now in full color. It was fantastic to re-read this book with vibrant color added to each page. I adored this series as a kid and still do as an adult. Fun, humorous, exciting, and just gross enough for a good laugh. Potty humor at its finest….

2 stars Picked this book up, along with its sequel, at a library sale. Figured it would be good for a quick, easy read. Overall, I was pretty disappointed by it. The idea for the plot was interesting, but it was gone about in a very drawn out and boring way. The narration was dated…
