I haven't read the first book in this series so it took me a couple of chapters to get into the story. Once I did, I found a fun, light-hearted story about Desi who subs for royalty around the world. Desi works for Facade, a company that helps...

I love a picture book that is not only cute and entertaining but also teaches something. ANIMALS AND THEIR FAMILIES is a beautiful book that has information about all different kinds of animals-- and not just the typical dog, cat, horse, and cow (although those are included too) that...

In the Garden is a cute board book about a little boy who goes through the process of growing a garden--from getting the ground ready, to planting, and then seeing the seeds grow. There are not many words, in fact most pages have just one word. As a...

I expected to like The Selection but I didn't expect to love it. I'm a sucker for a good fairy tale and also reality tv, (I know) so The Selection was a great book fit for me. Even though this is a dystopian, it isn't TOO dystopian which...

Excuse me while I go all fangirl for TIMEPIECE and Myra McEntire. *flails* *cheers* *does a high kick* *end scene* Second books always make me nervous. I'm always initially very excited to read them but if they don't hook me, I won't read the third. And I'm...

If you have been a fan of the HEX HALL series, you will most definitely want to read this final chapter. (If you haven't read HEX HALL--go forth and read it) Rachel Hawkins has created a magical world that will keep you on the edge of your seat....

As I was looking through a list of upcoming YA releases, I stumbled upon In Honor by Jessi Kirby. I was nothing short of thrilled when I was able to receive a copy to review from the magic that is YABC. Thank you!!!! Right away this book...

I'm a huge baseball fan, so I was excited that I got the opportunity to read this book. I haven't read the first three books in the series but I didn't feel like I missed anything. There are a lot of great baseball facts in this book. ...

I have been on a contemporary kick lately, so I wasn't initially drawn to GRAVE MERCY. Although, after reading several great reviews, I decided I had to check it out for myself. I loved this book! The first night I started reading, I had crazy dreams about...

I was excited to get Elizabeth Eulberg's newest book, Take a Bow. I loved Prom and Prejudice, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on her latest book. Once I opened this book up, I couldn't put it down. Elizabeth Eulberg has such a fresh...

When I first picked this book up, I was surprised how long it was. I initially thought that this would be way too long for a picture book. It did turn out to be a little long for my taste and it may be difficult for...

I adore the little chicks in this book. When their mothers leave to collect food for the chicks, they worry. They cry and wonder when their mothers will come back, and what will happen if they don't. The chicks work together and make a plan but before...

As a child, I loved reading Judy Blume's books about Fudge. I read my copies until pages were falling out. I recently picked up this book again and as an adult, I appreciate it so much more. The story, which is told through older brother...

Oscar the cat is thirsty so he sets off to find help from the cats on the moon. He drinks so much that the only way he can get back to earth is to let out a large burp to propel him back home. The illustrations are colorful...

I was excited to receive this book to review. I was hoping it would be something that I could use in my classroom. I was surprised to see how much information was included. Along with information, the book also includes reasons why it is important to keep...
