• Families in Graphic Novels

  Fun Home by Alison Bechdel Truthfully, I was going to look for the musical first but when I saw this in the library I figured I should see the source material, and wow. I didn’t have any idea what it was about other than it was an memoir of family dysfunction so it really threw…

• Hello, Psycho

  No one goes to intentionally befriend a psycopath. The problem is once you see past their charisma and friendliness and start piecing together the gaps in their stories, they may be onto you and will do anything to shut you up. At least that’s how it is for these protagonists. We Were Never Here by…

• Stephanie Plum Between the Numbers ReRead

  Okay, I didn’t get to Stephanie Plum six yet because someone else borrowed it in the library so I decided to go for the Between the Numbers novellas since they’re short and don’t really require knowledge of the other books that I don’t know.

• Isle of the Lost and the Difficulties of Continuity

  Okay, I’ll admit when I first heard of the Descendants movies involving Kristen Chenworth way back in 2014, I had made fun of it. Especially the unimagenative names given to the children of the characters. I mean Evie – Evil Queen, Jay- Jafar, it just seemed so lazy. But then I read the first Isle…

• 4 books-Mini Reviews

  I was going to put all 4 titles but it looked clunky. Now here’s 4 books I read over April that were good but I didn’t feel like they warranted one big review each. Dangerous Play by Emma Kress Now this teaches me not to judge a book by its cover or title or summary.…

• Book Updates?

  Covert Affairs is a fun spy book that is a bit like a more modern Totally Spies as three young adult girls go around the world rescuing heiresses, foiling cults and going gun to gun with the Brazilian mob. I found it very enjoyable and great light reading. And apparently this is an update because…
