Great book I love at the end there is a snowball fight

A Beauty Queen's Guide To Murder And Mayhem
by Kristen Bird
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book came onto my radar via NetGalley. I was lucky to receive an ARC for review. Katie Beudert provided excellent southern narration that provided the perfect ambiance for a beauty pageant and murder mystery. I thought this book was a lot of fun. The characters were colorful. This is a good summer read to escape from the real world day-to-day. Read if you’re a fan of Miss Congeniality.

My 4.5 year old loved this book and would rate it 5 stars. I thought this was one of the hokier books in the Magic Treehouse and did not find it as interesting and educational as some of the other more historical tales.

Keeper Of The Lost Cities
by Shannon Messenger

book cover


Very interesting book. It talks about how a girl names Sophie finds out sh is an elf, and is brought to a place called the Lost Cities. She finds out that she has multiple abilities and she gets kidnapped by a band of rebels called the Neverseen ( though she doesn't know they are called the Neverseen yet). Her human parents' memories of her get erased because the elves are super secretive against the humans because the humans betrayed them. She starts school called Foxfire (yes, a fungus) and the first friend she makes is named Dex Dizznee. The Neverseen also kidnapps him, because he just so happens to be in the cave with her when she gets abducted. 10/10 story.

The Compound: A Gma Book Club Pick

book cover


I read this book because it was a July Indie Next pick and GMA’s book club pick. I listened to the audiobook via Libby and was surprised by the English-accented narration by actress Lucy Boynton (though in retrospect I shouldn’t because of the author’s Irish origin). This book definitely felt like Survivor with more coupling and more cutthroat consequences. I couldn’t look away from the competition of it all and my interest was maintained up until the couple switching. The book had a bit of a lull but finished with what seemed to be an explosion of the seven deadly sins. This was an interesting book that would be good to discuss but also one I’m unlikely to reread.

This a great book for fantasy lovers and the movies though they do not match completly is still really good. I like this book because of the amount of hype making you not want to stop reading it. I really reccomend this book.

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.
