I like the castle cake because the chicklets make it and I like the chicklets. I think the pictures are funny. I think other kids would just like this book too

I got from the book that it is ok to give up your stuff when you don’t need it or fit in it anymore and you can dream about all the other people that will love your things.

Forget Me Not

book cover


2.5 stars. I listened to this audiobook in one sitting as it’s quite a quick read, clocking in at 4 hours. I picked this up because I was looking for books that would satisfy a “two books with the same titles” bingo square, and there’s at least three other Forget Me Nots that I have/will read. As an Oregonian, I was intrigued by the historical romance set in Baker City. I don’t often read Christian fiction, but it’s also nice to mix it up. In this second chance romance, Julia and preacher Seth rekindle their former flame after seven years apart. This book’s first turn-off was how Julia went from not recognizing this apparent love of her life to instantly feeling infatuated as if no time or intervening events had passed. I really struggled with the Chinese immigrant representation. It felt so stereotypical with too much emphasis on the white savior. Maybe the stilted broken English speech on the audiobook exaggerated the effect, but I felt there was a missed opportunity to humanized these underrepresented characters. I appreciate what the author is trying to do (as evidenced in the author’s notes), but I think she misses the mark in execution. Maybe this book would be better as a full-length novel in which their story gets fleshed out a bit more. I almost rounded this book up on the rating because I think the intentions are good, but as it currently stands, I would recommend skipping this.

Dog Man Unleashed: A Graphic Novel (dog Man #2): From The Creator Of Captain Underpants
by Dav Pilkey
View in Library Catalog
book cover


It was a good and funny because when Petey drew himself, he put the bulletin board onto the paper. When he said, "Guard! Help! The bulletin board fell on me! and I got flattened!" it was funny. The guard came and he said, "NO, he got flat!" Petey was so sad and surprised, and escaped from jail. I thought it was a funny book and I can read it all the time.
