"The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it."
I will give Emily Winfield Martin five out of five birds for her novel Snow & Rose. I hadn't heard of this book until I opened up a mysterious package in my mailbox. My sister had surprised us and sent us this book during COVID19. We absolutely adored it. The art in it was the... Continue Reading →
I'll give L.M. Montgomery 4 out of 5 birds for Anne's House of Dreams. Anne is one of my all time favorite characters, but I didn't feel like she was all there in this book. I had glimpses of her, but I didn't get the same feelings as some of the first few books. I... Continue Reading →
I'll give Roald Dahl 5 out of 5 birds for The Witches. First of all, I read this to my four and 3 year old. I tried with all of my might to persuade HLB(4) from choosing this one- because it seemed a little scary for her age. However, she BEGGED me. She continuously told... Continue Reading →
I give Caitlin Doughty and her novel Will My Cat Say My Eyeballs? five out of five birds! If you love fun facts, death, and facts about dead people this is your next read or listen. It's a compilation of questions that kids have asked Caitlin who owns a funeral home and she answers them... Continue Reading →
I'll give Laurel Snyder three out of five birds for her novel Orphan Island. I only made it through half of the excerpt on the back of the book before I was like I NEED TO READ THIS BOOK. It's such a refreshing and fun idea. Im so sad to say, that it might be... Continue Reading →
I'll give Mary Jane Ward 4 out of 5 birds for her novel The Snake Pit! This is a tough book to find my friends. I bid for it on Ebay and waited patiently for it to come. My good friend Genie recommended to me because she knows I like the crazy in life. If... Continue Reading →
I'll give Mary Roach 4 out of 5 birds for her Nonfiction Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. It's been months since I actually finished this one and so my review might not be as on point. It is a very in depth look into how cadavers are used. Will I be donating my... Continue Reading →
I'll give Shannon Hale 4 out of 5 birds for The Princess in Black #1. Since the libraries are currently closed and we're dying for new reading material I purchased the first three of this series. My girls are enjoying them but not as much as I expected. I think they like Mercy Watson better.... Continue Reading →
I give Betty Macdonald 5 out of 5 birds for Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle! I read this one with my four and three year old (she only lost interest once or twice). This book had a few more pages in between pictures which was a stretch for us, but the story was engaging enough for us to... Continue Reading →
I give Eowyn Ivey five out of five birds for her novel The Snow Child! This wasn't a book I would probably have picked up unless my brother in law had recommended it and I'm glad he did. It was beautiful! I loved it from beginning to end. The characters were lovable and my heart... Continue Reading →
