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.

And now they regularly ask people if they eat humans. It's been quiet fun to watch. Pippy... Continue Reading →
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 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 →
