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…

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…

3 stars On the whole, this was a good manga series. The final book basically just resolves everything, which wasn’t as exciting as the second book in the series. Book 2 was definitely my favorite. That’s where the bulk of the action is, making the first one a kind of confusing set up and the…

3 stars Overall, I thought this was a good read. I have not seen the musical yet, but I stumbled across the book at the library and wanted to see what it was about.  While the subject matter can be pretty controversial, the story itself was interesting and had some very good themes and messages. …

4 stars Every time I see this book, I think about reading it because I’m drawn in by the zombie story, unique take, and bright cover. I finally picked it up from the library last week. I’ve been hesitant to read it, because while I enjoy silly, goofy, gross-out humor like The Adventures of Captain Underpants,…

5 stars Another excellent collection of Phoebe and Marigold’s misadventures, this time with a few goblins thrown in. I just love this series so much. 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…

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…

4 stars I have a slight obsession with books that feature various amazing women (Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women, The Little Book of Feminist Saints). They are always fantastic because they have a nice mix of well-known women as well as women that aren’t exactly household names but have impacted…

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…

4 stars I came across an ARC of this book in a Little Free Library a little while ago and was instantly pulled in by the fantastic cover.  Now that I’ve read it, I’m happy to say the story is just as magnificent as the cover. The whole world Nesbet created was fantastic. It was…
