4 stars I’ve heard of this book and seen it around, but didn’t really think I’d get much out of it. Then I found a copy in the Lending Library and figured I’d see what all the hype was about. It was worth it. This is a very short, simple book. I was expecting a…

4 stars This was a good book. It’s not like there was anything necessarily bad about it. Cool story and a creative way of approaching the subject of loss and grief. I think my expectations were too high for it though. I had heard really great things about it and wanted to read it before…

4 stars I received a copy of this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review.Overall, I liked the book. It is composed of essays from Mary Collins and Donald Collins and interviews with other people who are trans and families of people who are trans.The book details what Mary and Donald both went…

4 stars A very cute collection of stories. There are stories with a variety of Disney Pixar characters (Monsters, Inc., A Bug’s Life, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Wall-E, Up) and two stories each for some of the more popular ones (Cars, Toy Story, Finding Nemo). The stories were well-done and I loved the illustrations. I especially…

4 stars I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was a very fun book to read. I really enjoyed the story and found Jackie’s character easy to relate to. There is a lot of build up in the beginning, but it is so well-told that it is still interesting…

4 stars  A very fun and entertaining book. Since this book was originally written in the 1930s, it has the distinct style of old children’s books. It is very unrealistic and silly, but still a very good read. I really enjoyed the ridiculous plot and funny situations that the Popper family and the penguins find…

4 stars What a wonderful adventure! I loved this book. It was well-written and engaging. I especially liked all of the puns and various word-related humor. I can definitely see a parent reading this to a child and both of them enjoying it immensely. Great plot. And I loved Milo’s character. You can definitely see…

3 stars Cool concept for a series. This is the first book I read in the series, but enough background information is given, allowing it to be read as a stand alone. This is kind of similar to The Magic Tree house books, but with more action and less focus on education. The plot was…

2 stars This book was okay.I wasn’t a huge fan of the format and style of the poetry. To me they did not have a nice flow. They felt more random than actually thought through and planned. I liked that the book was divided into four sections: inception, longing, chaos, epiphany. This helped to separate…

4 stars I received a copy of this book through Library Thing in exchange for an honest review. I am a big fan of Casey Renee Kiser. I love the unique style of her poetry. It is casual, but has so much feeling behind it. I really enjoy reading poems that take my breath away…
