"The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it."
Robin DiAngelo deserves a full five out of five birds for White Fragility. This book was absolutely eye opening to me. We are starting a new era, white people are recognizing that racism isn't one act but is systematic. I've always taught my children black people and white people are EQUAL and there is no...

Neil Gaiman deserves four out of five ghost birds for his novel The Graveyard Book. It was such a UNQIUE storyline and fresh. I thought it was a good starter for horror- since it starts out with murder. Other than that I didn't feel like it was graphic. It was interesting to read it from... Continue Reading →
Roald Dahl deserves 5 out of 5 birds for his novel Matilda. It's a true classic. I just finished a life long dream of reading this to my children. My girls loved this one and there were so many parts that were memorable. They are completely terrified of Miss Trunchbull and the chokey, but is... Continue Reading →
Catherine Clinton deserves 5 out of 5 birds for her biography Harriet Tubman: The Road to Freedom. At the beginning of the year I watched the movie about Harriet and fell in love with her. I wanted to know more about her and so I picked this book. I enjoyed it and thought it was... Continue Reading →
Dear Truman Capote you deserve 4 out of 5 birds for In Cold Blood. This book covered such a bizarre crime. A crime that really had no motive, just pure idiocy... In my opinion. I thought some of the facts were dragged out and that in the end something was still missing. How do you... Continue Reading →
Okay Elanor Estes I can't love this book any more. A whopping fluffy five out of five birds for this short children's book. I can't tell you how many times in the past week I have said don't be a Peggy or a Maddie when the kids have started quarreling with each other. It stops... Continue Reading →
Okay Jim Clemente I give you 5 out of 5 birds for Call Me God! I might be the only one in America who didn't know about this? Okay I was young when it happened, but still. How terrifying to know there was a shooter out there with no pattern and could be anywhere at... Continue Reading →
Roy Wenzl deserves five out of five birds for covering this psychotic story. Seriously Dennis deserves more than prison... I don't recommend reading In Cold Blood and BTK in tandem. There's no way in hell I'll move to Kansas now. I was fascinated with the facts of the case and how it played out. He... Continue Reading →
I'll give Betty MacDonald five out of five birds! This is the second installment in her Mrs. Piggle Wiggle's series. It was a fun read with my little girls. I thought that the stories were a little bit of a stretch but none-the-less we enjoyed their quirkiness. We loved the ending, imagining the kids in... Continue Reading →
Ill give William Golding 4 out of 5 birds for his novel Lord of the Flies. This was my second time reading it. The first time was about 15 years ago! I love the plot line and how dark William was willing to go. I still had a hard time keeping characters straight... That's my... Continue Reading →
