3 stars Another adorable adventure featuring Olga and Meh that’s filled with fun facts, science, hilarity, and just enough grossness. A nice, fun read. This is such a great read, especially for young and/or reluctant readers. Humorous, silly, and slightly gross all while promoting STEM, reading, and learning. Such a wonderful series. As with the…

3 stars Overall, I enjoyed this collection. As with any book of short stories, there are going to be stories that really resonate with you and stories you don’t care about all that much. By far, my favorites in this book were Victoria Schwab‘s “Death Knell” and Samantha Shannon‘s “Marigold”. “Death Knell” was one of the most…

2 stars This book was okay. I don’t really know much about Issa Rae or her humor, but with blurbs like “You’ll laugh freakishly hard” and “A book ripe with insights” (also pretty sure the phrase you’re looking for is “rife with”) right on the cover, I was expecting more from this. I’m not sure…

4 stars Adorable and clever book for cookie-lovers everywhere. I stumbled across this book at the library and found it to be a perfect break from writing research papers for grad school. A very funny read to enjoy and relax with. While the pictures were simple, I loved the details such as the before and…

4 stars In all honestly, I never realized how short this book was. I was looking for an audiobook that was under two hours to listen to while driving and stumbled across this book on some list on the internet. It seems like one of those well-known books everyone should read so I figured it…

I have been a huge fan of all of the awesome biography list books that have become popular of late (Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women, The Little Book of Feminist Saints) so I was really excited to see one dedicated to LGBTQ icons. Great book for learning new things about…

3 stars I will start by saying that I love reading retellings, especially fairy tale retellings. I don’t recall really liking fairy tales all that much growing up, but now as a adult, I cannot get enough of fresh spins on the classics. However, I was kind of disappointed with this book. I didn’t connect…

4 stars An adorably clever, fun read featuring Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. Loved the artwork. The comics have great humor with a little sadness underlying most of them with later events in mind. A great book for those who enjoy parody and Star Wars. I don’t think you have to be an expert on…

3 stars A fun book about a separated set of twins who end up finding each other again only to find out one is a vampire and one is a human. I picked this up at a used book store without realizing it’s the third book in a series. However, I was able to read…

4 stars I came across this in the clearance section of Half Price Books (with one of those horrible clearance stickers on it- see how to easy remove with this trick) and despite not knowing anything about it, I was instantly pulled to it and just had to take it home with me. Finally read…
