The Review The Mice Before Christmas: A Mouse House Tale of the Night Before Christmas by Anne L. Watson is a delightfully funny retelling of a classic, children's Christmas tale. I love a good retelling (intertext). They can be such a fun and goofy way to welcome an older story to a new generation. This… Continue reading The Mice Before Christmas by Anne L. Watson Book Review
The Supernatural Society by Rex Ogle was a fun, fantastical, middle-grade read packed with lots of diversity. Middle grade books always tend to be the highlight of my reads. They are so fun and bring me back to my elementary school reading days. Sure, I'm an adult now, but who doesn't love a whimsical adventure… Continue reading #BookReview The Supernatural Society by Rex Ogle
Once upon a time in a distant land… Briar taught financial literacy. I've done so many things in my career and life, it's sometimes bonkers to think I'm not an eighty-year-old lady (my knees agree with me being eighty and sometimes my back, but alas… I am not). Financial Literacy is super important and it… Continue reading Mansa’s Little Reminders: Scratching the Surface of Financial Literacy by A.D. Williams and Kendal Fordham – Book Review
Overview I absolutely love fun and engaging children's books. There's nothing like dipping into the nostalgia and enjoying a well-illustrated story! Lucky for me, Professor Stork created an adorable tale in The Legend of the Summer Snowflake. This is the first book in The Sky Watch Series. The series will follow a group of friendly… Continue reading The Legend of the Summer Snowflake by Professor Stork – Book Review
Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner was a delightfully binge-worthy book that I couldn't get my hands off of. I managed to binge-read this book in three nights. I had to put it down, but I really didn't want to. I love a great thriller read with leading women, especially when it makes you question what… Continue reading #BookReview Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner
Ezra Slef: The Next Nobel Laureate in Literature by Andrew Komarnyckyj is a wickedly smart novel. I'm going to be honest, the synopsis didn't give me a good idea of how this book was going to go. The level of comedy and intelligent sarcasm in this book is through the roof. The introduction alone was… Continue reading #BookReview Ezra Slef: The Next Nobel Laureate in Literature by Andrew Komarnyckyj
I'd like to start off by saying that the illustrations in this book are FABULOUS. Seriously, the fantasy and colours all combined on this page scream fantastical, fun, and dream-like. I loved it! While they say don't judge a book by its cover, I'm definitely judging and giving all the props to the illustrator! These… Continue reading #BookReview Davy’s Dragon Castle by Mary & Michael Schmidt
The Fourth Circle of Hell by Gary Rappard has long been on my list. I've been eying this book down but knew I needed a good amount of time to sit down and take it all in. This book appears to be heavily inspired by Dan Brown's writing style, so you instantly know you need… Continue reading #BookReview The Fourth Circle of Hell by Gary Rappard
The Mind Spins by Geza Tatrallyay is a fun and intriguing selection of short stories, all crafted from Geza's creative mind or from his even more wacky dreams. It's nice every once in a while to dip into some short stories or anthologies. Short pieces of fiction can really make you think or wonder what… Continue reading #BookReview The Mind Spins by Geza Tatrallyay
Combustible Punch is a thriller by Paul Michael Peters that opens up with one wow-ing chapter. When you open up to a woman introducing herself as a serial killer after a romp with our main character in a hotel, it is quite jarring and intriguing. I haven't found many first chapters that have me raising… Continue reading #BookReview Combustible Punch by Paul Michael Peters
