Mr. Popularity (Big Nate)

2 stars Note: this is the first I have read of anything Big Nate-related. An okay collection of comics originally published 2009 to 2010. The collection was fine, mostly I just don’t think it was a good fit for me personally. I had a difficult time assessing who this book was targeted toward. The characters…

Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy, Part 1: The Night of the Nasty Nostril Nuggets (Captain Underpants #6) by Dav Pilkey (Audio Version)

5 stars The grossest Captain Underpants adventure so far. Even in audio format, the descriptions are stomach churning, complete with disgusting sound effects.

Nimona by ND Stevenson

3 stars A story of shapeshifters, villains, and heroes. It’s up to the reader to decide who is who. I initially read this a few years ago and thought it was okay. With the release of the film, I was interested in revisiting it. I did like it better the second time. The film is…
