3 stars Picked this up at the Little Free Lending Library and decided to give it a try. Overall I thought it was entertaining. The writing is simple and it’s a pretty typical adventure story. I liked all of the puns and cheese jokes. It also includes a few maps, which are interesting. My favorite…

3 stars This book is weird, gory, and twisted… in a really cool way. I love the idea of the story. It is creative and very humorous. The artwork was very violent, a little much for my personal taste at times, but it was very imaginative. It really turns fantasy on its head. The dialogue…

2 stars This book was okay. There was a lot of action in it, but the plot didn’t feel cohesive. The narration felt more like a running list of things that happened. It really lacked complexity. The characters felt flat as well and the plot twists were fairly predictable. This is a pretty simple book,…

5 stars I received a copy of this book through Bookstr/The Reading Room in exchange for an honest review.This is a beautifully written book. Uplifting and inspirational, Smith focuses on how meaning is derived from four pillars and how a person can gain a sense of purpose in his or her life. I really enjoyed…

3 stars I’m going to start by saying I have watched the first 3 seasons of the show, so my review is going to inevitably compare the two. I only got through binge-watching half of the show, because I ended up getting bored with the storylines. Overall, this was a good read. The writing is…

But that isn’t quite the right word. While there is a certain beauty to its undeniable humanity, the violence and pain and suffering are…

4 stars I found a copy of this book in the Lending Library. I haven’t read any of the Animal Ark Hauntings books before this, but I remember having a few Animal Ark books growing up Overall, the story was interesting. Without giving too much away, the ending did not come as much of a…

4 stars This is a very entertaining read. I loved the premise of the Lost Bookshop. It is similar to the Magic Treehouse books, but is more humorous than educational. A great book for young readers. The language is simple, but the adventures are funny. The events are often silly and humorous. I loved the…

2 stars I remember buying this book from a used bookstore as a kid. I rediscovered it when cleaning out my mom’s old house and decided to give it a read (or re-read, I have no idea if I ever actually read it). For me, this book was okay. I think the premise was good,…

4 stars I enjoyed reading this book. It’s a very quick and easy read, but quite funny and adorable. This is the first Bad Kitty book I have read after the Bad Kitty picture book, which I also enjoyed. While this book does have chapter headings, there is not very much text and it mostly relies on…
