3 stars Holly Black is one of my all time favorite writers. I love her unique fantasy stories and amazing writing style. The Darkest Part of the Forest is one of my absolute favorite books (I have a signed copy NBD) and I enjoyed The Spiderwick Chronicles Box Set and the Magisterium series (The Iron Trial). However, I find that…

5 stars A gorgeous, thought-provoking, haunting, beautiful, harrowing, maddening, gut-wrenching collection of poems. Gibson has such a way with words and a real talent for creating lasting images and descriptions. This book deals with a lot of heavy issues in a way that is both lovely and disconcerting. A truly remarkable read. Goodreads

4 stars I am never disappointed by this series. Such a fun, creative premise for a series and I love that each story is so different. To be honest, I think “Agent Octopus-Sea” might be my favorite story in this series so far. Despite the fact I’m not really a James Bond/spy film person, there…

5 stars What an amazingly fantastic book. I loved everything about this one: the story, the characters, the artwork. The range of expressions shown in the art is just phenomenal. This is such a unique story with real heart. A beautiful, beautiful book that I highly recommend. I really enjoyed the emphasis on family, friendship,…

4 stars Despite this book’s infamous nickname as the “red devil”, I actually enjoyed reading it. Yes, it is a lot of information. Yes, it is dense. Yes, sometimes you have to reread to really understand. But I found the short chapters less intimidating and that the book had a good flow. I had to…

4 stars Another wonderful zombie goldfish adventure, just the stress-reliever I needed right now. One thing I love about this series is its consistency. Each story is unique and different, but the quality, humor, and amazingness stays the same. With so many series, I find the later books not quite up to par with the…

4 stars I will start this review by clarifying that this is a book of speeches. This is not a book that Thunberg sat down and wrote out and organized. It is compilation of her speeches and posts in chronological order. I’ve seen a few reviews saying it is boring, repetitive, and not well-written. I…

A wonderful book that is short and simple, but filled with very good information. The book goes through various concepts such as emptiness and compassion, the middle path, and attachment. The tone is very conversational as it is based on interviews, which makes it easy to connect to. I also really liked the inclusion of…

2 stars Okay read. I listened to the audiobook on a car ride. I think actually reading as opposed to listening to it may have been better for me, because I just can’t take it seriously when grown men try to read in children’s voices. It always sounds kind of cheesy to me. The real…

2 stars While I have not seen the Netflix adaptation of this yet, I think the big problem I had with this book was that going into it I had the vague notion that POSSIBLE SPOILER (you don’t really get any answers at the end and don’t find out what the creatures are or what…
