5 stars What an amazingly fantastic book. I loved everything about this one: the story, the characters, the artwork. The range of expressions shown in the art is just phenomenal. This is such a unique story with real heart. A beautiful, beautiful book that I highly recommend. I really enjoyed the emphasis on family, friendship,…

4 stars Despite this book’s infamous nickname as the “red devil”, I actually enjoyed reading it. Yes, it is a lot of information. Yes, it is dense. Yes, sometimes you have to reread to really understand. But I found the short chapters less intimidating and that the book had a good flow. I had to…

4 stars Another wonderful zombie goldfish adventure, just the stress-reliever I needed right now. One thing I love about this series is its consistency. Each story is unique and different, but the quality, humor, and amazingness stays the same. With so many series, I find the later books not quite up to par with the…

4 stars I will start this review by clarifying that this is a book of speeches. This is not a book that Thunberg sat down and wrote out and organized. It is compilation of her speeches and posts in chronological order. I’ve seen a few reviews saying it is boring, repetitive, and not well-written. I…

A wonderful book that is short and simple, but filled with very good information. The book goes through various concepts such as emptiness and compassion, the middle path, and attachment. The tone is very conversational as it is based on interviews, which makes it easy to connect to. I also really liked the inclusion of…

2 stars Okay read. I listened to the audiobook on a car ride. I think actually reading as opposed to listening to it may have been better for me, because I just can’t take it seriously when grown men try to read in children’s voices. It always sounds kind of cheesy to me. The real…

2 stars While I have not seen the Netflix adaptation of this yet, I think the big problem I had with this book was that going into it I had the vague notion that POSSIBLE SPOILER (you don’t really get any answers at the end and don’t find out what the creatures are or what…

3 stars Another adorable adventure featuring Olga and Meh that’s filled with fun facts, science, hilarity, and just enough grossness. A nice, fun read. This is such a great read, especially for young and/or reluctant readers. Humorous, silly, and slightly gross all while promoting STEM, reading, and learning. Such a wonderful series. As with the…

3 stars Overall, I enjoyed this collection. As with any book of short stories, there are going to be stories that really resonate with you and stories you don’t care about all that much. By far, my favorites in this book were Victoria Schwab‘s “Death Knell” and Samantha Shannon‘s “Marigold”. “Death Knell” was one of the most…

2 stars This book was okay. I don’t really know much about Issa Rae or her humor, but with blurbs like “You’ll laugh freakishly hard” and “A book ripe with insights” (also pretty sure the phrase you’re looking for is “rife with”) right on the cover, I was expecting more from this. I’m not sure…
