  • Warriors: Super Specials

    This forway into the Warriorverse was limited as the library only had 4 super specials but each offered deeper insight to the clans, characters and forshadow future events (or retcon them depending on your perspective).

  • Warriors: Dawn of the Clans

    This was an amazing set. I think it may be my favorite. Not only does it show us how it all began, but the forshadowing and easter eggs make it a treat for fans to track the progress, knowing what will happen in the future. And for those who tire of the constant return of…

  • Warriors: Omen of the Stars

    This series continues after the cliffhanger in Power of Three, but unfortunately lacks the big twists and willingness to break the status quo the previous series had. You see, since Hollyleaf’s death leaves questions of who the real third cat of destiny is, it is quickly answered to be Dovepaw. Her journey is sort of…

  • Warriors: Power of Three

    The third generation takes the stage and things get even darker than before. Bluestar had prophesized long ago that the kin of Firestar’s kin, a trio to be precise, would be the most powerful cats of the age. They would have the power of the stars. The thing about prophecies is that they’re oftentimes vague…

  • Warriors: The New Prophecy

    Ah, the next generation come of age and everything changes for the warrior cats. Yet some things stay the same. I had only read the first two books when I was little before abruptly stopping so this was all brand new for me, and I had no idea what would happen next. Okay, I actually…

  • Warriors: The Prophecies Begin

    So I decided to officially reread the Warriors series which should be interesting as I’ve only gotten through the first eight books so the rest of the expanded world is a whole new adventure for me to read. I’m very excited. So my first post on this will be pretty quick as I remember the…

  • Top 5 Vet Volunteers

    Trapped: This one comes first for me because I love deer so the story of Brenna taking care of an injured fawn is just adorable. But what is also interesting is the focus on Brenna’s brother and his growing enviromental radicalism and how far he is willing to go to stop poachers. Anderson presents the…

  • Book Highlight: The Lucky Ones

    This informative, passionate memoir follows Jenny Brown, founder and owner of Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary as she delves into her journey into animal rights, particularly farm animals and veganism. Beginning at age 10 when she was diagnosed with cancer, she had to have her leg amputated. Her mother sought to ease the pain a little…

  • Animals books for Kindergarteners

    Little Pink Pup by Johanna Kerby A Baby Book for Willy Bob the Squirrel by Herbert A. Libby Tiger The Monarch Butterfly Who Couldn’t Fly bt Tony Viehmann Since I’m not an official children’s book critic, I won’t say much about the sentence structure and its contribution to reader’s comprehension rather I chose these for…

  • Did you know. . .

    These Disney movies were based on books. And I’m not talking about the classic fairytale princesses but. . . Bambi, a Life in the Woods by Felix Salten The Rescuers by Margery Sharp (this was actually a series) 101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith (also has a sequel) Just a fun thing that I discovered at…
