Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed To Get Old
by Brooke Shields

book cover


Great book - great personality! This book really spoke to me as a 57 year old mom of two - it was like being on a long girls weekend with your super-cool, chic, well read and well-spoken best friend!

J Vs. K
by Kwame Alexander

book cover


This illustrated chapter book was such a delight! In this meta collab between two powerhouses, fifth graders J and K go from rivals butting heads to friends who work together to win the annual writing contest. This book is insanely clever, fun for readers of all ages, and memorable. Some moments have just the right amount of cringe- other moments are surprisingly tender and kind. I loved the dialogue, the vocab infusion, the art, and the humility of it all. This is just the book I wanted to read with my elementary daughter!

The Irresistible Urge To Fall For Your Enemy

book cover


3.5 stars. I feel torn about this book. It had a strong start introducing the brainy healer FMC and the MMC assassin who begrudgingly turns to her for a cure to an illness that is slowly sealing his fate in death. The premise has so much promise! I felt like the chemistry was under-delivered and the overarching plot felt rather underwhelming to me. I wanted more adventure and magic but instead there were brothels and boredom. I think I’ll skip future books in this romantasy series.

It's a cute story about a girl in a wheelchair finding an injured elephant. My favorite part (without spoilers) is when Marshmallow reveals who he really is. They should make a sequel!

Angelica And The Bear Prince
by Trung Le Nguyen

book cover


This is a lovely book! I was lucky to receive a digital ARC of this graphic novel from NetGalley to review. After loving The Magic Fish, I was eager to read Trung Le Nguyen’s latest, which is set to release in October 2025. The full color illustrations are dreamy, gorgeous feasts for the eyes. After overextending herself, Angelica turns to a place that has captivated her and brought her comfort: the local theater and its upcoming production featuring Per the Bear Prince. This story has a little of everything: family drama and grief, a second chance romance, friendship, and more. While this sophomore book doesn’t feel as deep or impactful as its predecessor, it still gets top marks for me. Young audiences will love it and older readers will appreciate it.

The Deadlands: Survival
by Skye Melki-Wegner

book cover


The Deadlands: Survival is a book about adventure, heroism, and finding a place to belong. I enjoyed reading this book because I like dinosaurs and it had an interesting concept. The author knows a lot about dinosaurs, a little bit more than I know about dinosaurs. Just the tiniest bit more. The start of the book was so good that I really wanted to keep reading and barely put it down. I would recommend The Deadlands series to people who like dinosaurs and adventure.

I thought it was really well-written. The club was cool and I also love making signs. It inspired me.
