How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You by Matthew Inman

4 stars A very funny and light hearted book. You aren’t going to learn anything from this book. And that’s okay. Sometimes it’s nice to read something solely to brighten your mood. This is a must read for cat lovers as it portrays many of the common experiences cat owners share (staring contests, the dangers…

Ms. Marvel, Volume 1: No Normal by G. Willow Wilson

3 stars I will admit I had some pretty high expectations for this graphic novel since it has gotten so much hype. But after finally reading it, I don’t feel like it lived up to my expectations. I really like the idea of a Muslim superhero and the step toward diversity it comics, but I…

But Green really surprised me with a fantastic glimpse into the human experience, through adolescent eyes. The book is…

The characters are very unique (skeleton butler with an interesting backstory), the plot is so confusing yet riveting, and the artwork is crazy; all of which make for a page-turning adventure of chaos and fun. There is so much going on in this book, which can…

Emissary by Thomas Locke

3 stars I received a copy of this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review. Overall, I think this book was well-written and interesting. The plot was good and while it was stretched out throughout this relatively long book, there was enough action between events to keep the reader engaged. The thing keeping…
