3.75 rounded up. This was not my favorite Magic Treehouse adventure. It felt a bit hokey. My 4yo had a lot of questions about smoking (cultural Native American representation).

Guys listen to me, I know this is volume 19 of a series you will probably never read but it needs be remarked that everytime an adventure shoujo series surpasses 15 volumes it suddenly picks up steam and is just eminently readable. This series is no exception, truly one of the best manga confessions and rejections I've read in a hot minute cause I just like all of these characters so much and they don't act out of character just for the plot to progress as so many manga. Snow White with the Red Hair & Yona of the Dawn supremacy forever!!

This book was full of adventure, action and mythical creatures. I really loved it!

Excellent! Easy to read, impressively researched.

Real streak of winning books lately, absolutely incredible work on display, the large size and gorgeous illustrations really help you get lost in the paranoid, anxious, and nothing-ness of an unproductive Sunday. Firmly planted some James Brown in my ear despite being a book--also proof that you can have a protagonist that is being incredible unlikeable from start to finish and you can still see yourself in them, or maybe just seeing yourself see yourself in them. Good stuff. Been reading lots of graphic novels that are acclaimed lately that I actually don't like so it's nice to read one that WAS actually enjoyable.

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.

This book is a really great book! I like it because I like basketball and it is about basketball

Eva had a new friend in class and she wanted her to sit by her and she wanted to make her things to feel welcome in the new school. But Hailey sat with Eva’s best friend Lucy instead and Eva was feeling left out. At the end they ended up being friends because Eva said sorry to Lucy and they all became friends.

Fascinating history of the emergence of a publicly funded regional police force with beat officers and plain oclothes detectives. Medical discoveries and new technology soon sparked new methods for solving crimes. Some photos, extensive footnotes with sources, and an index. A great read on a foggy day.
