  Huck: The Remarkable True Story of How One Lost Puppy Traught a Family-and a Whole Town-About Hope and Happy Endings by Janet Elder As I’ve said multiple times. I’m a sucker for dog memoirs even if they’re a bit sad because, with all the variations, it harbors the same theme. Dogs teach us more about…

• The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Review

  This book was certainly full of surprises. I’ll admit, I didn’t read this when it first came out because it seemed unnecessary. I mean who wanted a book about President Snow? And about yet another District 12 tribute, especially as we already know what will happen? But those low expectations were probably a good thing…

• Ranking Wondergirls

  No, no, not the Kpop group from the 2000s Wonder Girls. I’m talking about the early 2000s book series from Scholastic by Jillian Brooks. It’s generic as it’s all about four girls and their ups and downs in the ever complicated girl world of friendship but it’s a solid series I believe like a disney…

• Mockingjay Review

  The final book in the gut-punching trilogy asks us readers to choose which cute boy is cuter and. . . okay I’m joking. While I can see parts where Collins pushed back against the urges behind the scenes for more love triangle, Katniss and is undoubtedly the star of this book as she tackles the…
