Happy Release Day #thedaynoraatethesun I loved book 2, so much went out and bought book 1. Thank you @andrewsmcmeelkids @andrewsmcmeel for the second book. 👉 Do YOU know what builds character during the Summer? GOATSITTING 😆 and she is no ordinary goat. 🐐 👉 Hilarious tale of a boy who gets a summer job to build character as his father suggested 👉 Has lots of humor that boys will appreciate 👉 The goat is as hilarious as Heihei (my personal opinion). I was always excited

🅱️ook Tour Stop + Review My review: Book 1 is Now on paperback and it's an amazing start for this series. A Summer Camp as you can't imagine. Safe for new friendships, but with a lot of paranormal activity. It's not a summer camp to lose weight. Lots of action, tension, and humor. Themes such as acceptance, self-confidence, fun, uplifting read, solving things on their own, and making new friends among those who share interests and experiences. Excited to start this series? H

🏴‍☠️☠️A Pirates' Pact is the 5th book but 1st middlegrade of @author_sarah_branson The author's Adult series Pirates of New Earth is a dystopian sci-fi... this middle-grade includes the children of one of the characters set in the same world. Fun. My review: 4.5 This is a great short, easy-to-read Middle-Grade adventure of two brothers (twins) who are growing up with their own personalities and preferences. When they are 10 years old- turning eleven, they start to notice tha

For the parents & their children:🚀Mars for all ages... 🔺️For the older siblings and parents I recommend THE MARTIAN by @this_is_not_andyweir and @broadwaybooks @penguinrandomhouse Standalone 🔺️For the younger siblings and then the oldest will love it too. LAST DAY ON MARS (1 out 3 books) science and mystery. Awesome start. . . . . . #hardscience #hardsciencefiction #scififantasy #scifibooks #scifirecs #middlegradereads #adultfiction #thrillers #bookstagram #bookish #bookre

Book Mail from Tor books: Wolfsong (The first out of 4 books) is by TJ Klune, the same author of The House in the Cerulean Sea and my favorite: Under the Whispering Door. I hope to read the In the Lives of Puppets soon. Foul Days (book 1) The Witcher meets Naomi Novik in this fast-paced fantasy rooted in Slavic folklore, from an assured new voice in the genre. Service Model - awesome robot main character! I'm loving it. Murderbot meets Redshirts in a delightfully humorous tal
