The Prophet

Like the gospels but worse. Supposedly his masterpiece too bad his masterpiece is garbage. One star though because under the dust jacket is a beautiful cover with gold embossing and text is done with a letterpress.

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.

Search And Destroy Vol. 1

Maybe people who haven't read Dororo would like this retelling? But I'll be honest, I'm very tired of gritty retellings of stories, is whimsy and humor really something so lame and childlike that we should just eliminate it from all stories to make it 'for adults'? It's just such a bummer.

A really good book. It was about a friend, they were going to have a party and they made a mistake, she forgot her family’s present. They gave all the presents to the animals in the forest while she was looking for her family’s present.

Klara And The Sun

Loved this one quite a bit, always been a huge fan of robot stories and their ability to question what makes us human, and this one does a good job with it. Also very refreshing to see a robot story that isn't about them going rogue or otherwise revolting against humanity, instead asking "what would it look like if a robot had limitless love for its human?"

We enjoyed this trip to India with Jack and Annie. It was interesting to learn about endangered species like tigers and rhinoceroses.

Not that easy to follow along with the pictures and instructions, even with a lot of the basic sewing skills.

Green Eggs And Ham

I liked it because it teaches you that if you do not try something you will never know

The Kamogawa Food Detectives

Detective agency at the back of a cafe replicates recipes from clients’ long ago memories. Too bad this isn’t a “scratch ‘n sniff” book because some of the dishes sound amazing!

Papa's Coming Home
by Chasten Buttigieg

book cover


This is a sweet story about children welcoming their parent home from a trip with the things they think are important to him. When they arrive at the airport with all of the things, their dad lovingly accepts the grand gesture and also lets them know they are the best part of coming home. The illustrations are bright and fun.
