4 stars An adorable picture book about a self-absorbed giraffe that becomes a hero. So cute. I loved the facial expressions. Who would have thought that a giraffe could have such an emotional range? Very well done. I really enjoyed the silly illustrations. A very cute story. I got this from the library and looked…

5 stars Can we all just pretend the third Lumberjanes book never happened? Great. Thanks. I really thought about stopping my pursuit of Lumberjanes after the third book. Those creepy baby-janes just did not do it for me. The story was fine, but I hate, hate, hated the illustrations. While browsing the graphic novel section…

2 stars My husband loves PewDiePie. I watch his videos with him sometimes and while I am not a huge fan, I’ll admit he can be clever/funny at times. So I didn’t have high expectations that I would love this book or anything. This book is a parody of every inspirational/self-help book ever written. Just…

5 stars I loved this graphic novel. I was hooked from the very start. The characters are awesome, the story is confusing as heck but very intriguing, and the whole idea of the thing is just amazing. It is a science-fiction adventure set in the 1980s. This is basically Stranger Things with more time travel…

2 stars I was a bit disappointed by this graphic novel. The concept was cool, but the execution fell through for me. The thing that really threw me was that the art style changes so much in the comics. It really bugged me that the artwork wasn’t consistent. Sometimes it appears more anime-ish, other times…

2 stars I love the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. This book was just an okay addition to it though. As others have said, it’s basically just trying to get more money out of the series. It doesn’t really add much. It’s just a collection of stories, interviews, and skits. Some are clever, but…

4 stars I actually really enjoyed this book. For starters, Olga is awesome. She loves animals (because humans are gross and horrible- I agree) and wants to be a scientist when she grows up. She accepts all the gross animal things (farts, pee) and isn’t too fazed by them. There are many humorous situations that…

2 stars What in the world did I just read? I never thought I would see the day when I didn’t enjoy a Captain Underpants book. I am honestly questioning reality right now. I’ll start by saying I have enjoyed the Captain Underpants series since I was a child. I read and reread my beat…

2 stars This book was okay. Keplinger did some cool things with stereotypes and labels, but for the most part the book was just boring and repetitive. I watched the movie version at some point and honestly can’t remember anything about it. I saw this in the library and the bright pink spine was just…

3 stars This is one of those books that are tricky to review. I can’t quite put my finger on what I didn’t like. I don’t think there was anything present that I didn’t like per se, it was more of what was lacking. I just didn’t feel that burning in my chest, that rushing…
