Whiskey in a Teacup by Reese Witherspoon

2 stars Okay read. Mostly I don’t think it was a great fit for me. I picked up the audiobook from the library because I was looking for a short book and have a guilty pleasure for reading books written by famous people who didn’t get famous by writing books. Basically, this book covers how…

milk and honey by rupi kaur

2 stars This book sat on my To-Be-Read shelf for quite a while, because I felt I needed to be in the right mindset to read it and have enough time to enjoy it and really digest it. I finally brought it with me on a road trip to read and honestly, I was just…

Blended by Sharon M. Draper

2 stars I picked up this audiobook from the library to listen to on my way to work. I thought it sounded interesting based on the blurb on the back. However, I found it anything but. Honestly, this book was just boring. I didn’t connect with the main character and frankly, I couldn’t stand her….

Even Monsters Go to School by Lisa Wheeler

A very fun read, especially for young monster fans.  The illustrations are very colorful, detailed, and just adorable. I especially liked the scenes in which famous “villains” go to school with…

There Are No Bears in This Bakery by Julia Sarcone-Roach

3 stars A cute story told by a feline detective who makes sure there are no bears in Little Bear Bakery. I enjoyed the artsy style of the illustrations and the sleuth-y little cat, Muffin. This is a good book for teaching similes because of the sheer volume of them, but I think sometimes the…
