(4 year old’s review) I like everything in this book. It’s about Little Blue Truck and I love him. And it’s about spring. Toad gets to drive Little Blue Truck and I don’t. They get to meet a lot of friends.

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.

Forget Me Not
by Miralee Ferrell

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.

Really good, chilling ending and never guessed right about who was good or bad...

World War Z
by Max Brooks

I recommend this book to anyone interested in politics, economics, sociology, religious studies, etc. WWZ is a masterful look into a post-Collapse society following a zombie outbreak. I've recommended this book to people from all sorts of backgrounds and fields of study/work. Each one finds something in the book which pulls them in. However, some people don't like zombies or anything which could be considered scary so that's okay too.

They were in the magic treehouse, they found a pirate book and wanted to go there. Then they were in there and got caught by the pirates. To try to get out, they put them in the real ship in a basement and they knew where the treasure was so they went.
