5 stars I received a copy of this book through The Reading Room/Bookstr in exchange for an honest review. My first reaction to this book was that it was beautifully written. But that isn’t quite the right word. While there is a certain beauty to its undeniable humanity, the violence and pain and suffering are…

4 stars I found a copy of this book in the Lending Library. I haven’t read any of the Animal Ark Hauntings books before this, but I remember having a few Animal Ark books growing up Overall, the story was interesting. Without giving too much away, the ending did not come as much of a…

4 stars This is a very entertaining read. I loved the premise of the Lost Bookshop. It is similar to the Magic Treehouse books, but is more humorous than educational. A great book for young readers. The language is simple, but the adventures are funny. The events are often silly and humorous. I loved the…

2 stars I remember buying this book from a used bookstore as a kid. I rediscovered it when cleaning out my mom’s old house and decided to give it a read (or re-read, I have no idea if I ever actually read it). For me, this book was okay. I think the premise was good,…

4 stars I enjoyed reading this book. It’s a very quick and easy read, but quite funny and adorable. This is the first Bad Kitty book I have read after the Bad Kitty picture book, which I also enjoyed. While this book does have chapter headings, there is not very much text and it mostly relies on…

3 stars This was a good book. I stumbled across it when cleaning out my mom’s attic and since I don’t think I ever actually read it, I thought I’d give it a try. I really liked the focus on ability. Sammie proves himself to be a very capable person. As a self-prescribed “special person”,…

3 stars I won a copy of this book from BookRiot. This is a great book for comic and graphic novel lovers. Consisting of thirteen interviews and presented in question-answer format, this book gives some insight into creating graphic novels. Each graphic novelist also created a short comic for the book around a central theme….

2 stars This book was okay. For me, the biggest problem was the writing itself. It was very simple, often too simple (“The sun was warm, and the water was wet”). I realize this is meant for young readers, but the descriptions were very vague. I couldn’t really picture the events happening based on the…

2 stars After reading the introduction of this book, I was under the impression that it was about a mutiny. Therefore, my perspective was a bit skewed going in. So as a warning to future readers, this is not about a mutiny. It does not detail a mutiny. In fact, a mutiny does not happen…

5 stars Love it! This book is adorable, humorous, and entertaining. It also makes me glad that I have a full-grown cat instead of a kitten. The various poems were very creative and cover many different topics, such as exploration, cat-dog relationships, and the incessant need of felines to sit on a lap at all…
