"The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it."
Okay GorDON Korman, you get a full chicken dinner of five out of five birds for Restart. Was it cheesy? Maybe a little bit but I absolutely loved the message and the feeling I was left with. The book is written in many students perspectives and really allows you to see the WHOLE picture. You... 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'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 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 Juliet Grames 5 out of 5 birds for her novel The Seven of Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna! This was also a recommendation from my brother in law and I devoured it.. This is a fictionalized story of two real sisters Stella and Tina. Some of the best plot moves I've ever read... Continue Reading →
I give the Wild Robot by Peter Brown a 5 out of 5 birds! I absolutely loved reading this book with my four year old. We laughed, gasped, and even tear up. I appreciated how Peter tied in the Earth's ecosystem and it's natural consequences. It allowed us many talking points and opportunities for questions.... Continue Reading →
I give V.C. Andrews 4 out of 5 birds for his book Flowers in the Attic. This may be one of the most messed up books I have ever read. I mean it may even knock Baby Teeth out of the running. The idea was original and intriguing but WAY over the top. This book... Continue Reading →
I give Celeste Ng 4 out of 5 birds for Everything I Never Told You. This was a very unique read. It was terribly sad and depressing but beautifully written. I wanted to finish, but it was by no means a happy book. So perhaps wait until after Covid-19. The pain and sorrow in this... Continue Reading →
