Memphis by Ginger Scott

Memphis by Ginger Scott

3.5 stars — I love this author, but I had a hell of a time staying engaged in this book.  I honestly can’t tell if it was my mood, or the book, or perhaps a mix of the two (the book exacerbated by my mood).  I would find my mind wandering constantly, and I would have […]

Fighting Irish by Katy Regnery

Fighting Irish by Katy Regnery

4.5 stars — As a huge fan of Ms. Regnery’s Blueberry Lane series of series, and one of the readers saddened that that series was ending, this felt a bit like coming home.  It’s not that this was a reiteration of that series, but it had the same feel and flow to it, the same […]

Poetry for Young People: Maya Angelou  by Maya Angelou, Edwin Graves Wilson (Editor), Jerome Lagarrigue (Illustrator)

Poetry for Young People: Maya Angelou by Maya Angelou, Edwin Graves Wilson (Editor), Jerome Lagarrigue (Illustrator)

Poetry has always been an abstract concept for me. I am too literal for it I think. It’s difficult for me to enjoy because of that. I did enjoy this short book of poems even though I wasn’t able to really comprehend most of them. I figured if I start small, ie in the children’s […]

What Are the Three Branches of the Government?: And Other Questions About the U.S. Constitution by Benjamin Richmond

What Are the Three Branches of the Government?: And Other Questions About the U.S. Constitution by Benjamin Richmond

I learned so much for this book. Did you know that our constitution is the shortest of all that were written?  And did you know that there is no set number of justices for the supreme court written in the constitution so it has changed over time? And did you know the US existed before […]

Glitch by Hugh Howey

Glitch by Hugh Howey

This was a super short yet cool read. And although it was pretty short I enjoyed the open-endedness of it.  The struggle that the scientists had with shutting him down or allowing him to evolve and maybe/possibly revolting was clear and concise in this book.  Is it a Glitch or something more? What would you […]

Fix My Fall by Carey Heywood

Fix My Fall by Carey Heywood

4.5 stars — A friend told me I was going to fall in love with Spencer, and boy was she ever right!!  But it wasn’t just Spencer, I loved Abby too!!  My absolute favourite books always have two great characters that I love. I already loved Abby a bit from the previous two books, but […]

The Rule Maker by Jennifer Blackwood

The Rule Maker by Jennifer Blackwood

3 stars — I think I wanted to like this one more than I did, I’m bummed that books that are hits with others don’t seem to be working for me.  Which is not to say I didn’t enjoy myself, but I did find myself avoiding reading, and at times having to read paragraphs over […]
