Josie and the Pussycats Vol 1 Review

I’ll admit I was one of the ones who was not on board with Archie Comics’ new look and didn’t want to read any of their new material. However, a few years ago I caved and was pleasantly surprised. It surpassed my expectations in how they combined the traditional Josie antics with a more “realistic” feel.

While it is not impossible to love books and sports, I find most readers prefer to curl up with a book than to go out and tackle someone for a ball. However, that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun to vicariously read about sports. Here are some sporty books I enjoyed when I was a kid.…

Comment!

Here’s a little break from all the book suggestions I have. I want to hear from you or really anyone’s who’s reading this little blog. So my first question to get the ball rolling is, who has read those book novelizations of tv episodes? Or just based on celebrities like Mary Kate and Ashley. They…

Kids Mystery Series

ABC Mysteries by Ron Roy This a good starter series for kids who want to puzzle out the whodunnit while relating to the lower school protagonists, the bookish, thoughtful Dink, the whip smart Rose and goofy Josh as they figure out the small town local mysteries that pop up in their lives from missing authors…

Anne of Green Gables and Emily of New Moon by Lucy Maud Montgomery Ah these classic books with beautiful covers, I make a point of reading them every year. While Anne is obviously the most famous and I prefer the first five books of the series, it is worth a read of all 8 books…

Fairy Books for Kids

Rainbow Fairies by Daisy Meadows I believe every child has read at least once so there’s no need for fanfare, especially since they are still going. They must be at number 100 by now. Anyway, I love the cover designs, every fairy is unique and beautiful. But I will always have a soft spot for…
