@tbrbeyondtours & @ek_johnston #TitanoftheStars #TBRBeyondTours #EKJohnston Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh The end. (I'm still screaming and shaking the phone because I listened to an audiobook) Amazing cover. This book had me at Titanic meets Alien. An YA. Teens and New Adults on a journey to Mars on a ship with a very peculiar exhibition: aliens... they are NOT dead. I want more. I'm looking forward to reading book 2.

@topplingstackstours & @sabkleckner  #TheComplexArtofBeingMaisieClark #TBRBeyondTours #SabrinaKleckner #art #photogrpahy My review 5 stars "Artists are nostalgic." I loved reading this one. Very relatable, too, even if you are only an artist or in the photography niche. It's about taking a courageous step and being willing to experiment, and putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations. Maisie wants to challenge herself by learning different things, saying yes more, and sel

Publisher: Tyndale Kids (June 3, 2025) Paperback: 240 pages My Review 4.5 This is a great comeback from Dragons in our midst. Some recognizable characters in the kingdom of Camelot, including Master Merlin. Light plot, easy to read, and fast-paced. Dragons Goliath is to humans what Sir Devin is to Dragons; their hatred for the other species makes them hunt their prey non-stop. Morgan plans to keep her youth and remain powerful, for she needs one last scale. My favorite charac

4.75 stars Sarah is back in a second volume, and this time, she is focused on researching the Rose, a flower that in France in the 1500s was so rare and expensive that it was reserved for royals. This gives great depth to the flower. She learns all the symbolism and how it is deeply connected with other cultures, not just French. This research, the gypsies, the tattoos with the cross, and the connection still with ancient Egypt build all the mystic world, and the tarot cards

5 stars "No one wants to see doubts." I have no doubts since the release of First Blade. This author has been at the top of my favorites. The author rides the dark satire/humor fantasy trend with strong, sassy language, violence, a large cast on a quest, and hilarious scenes and dialogue. It's pure entertainment but it's still the author's voice, long scenes, long and lots of action-adventure scenes, around 70% the politics, intrigue hits hard after a long quest/journey of th

Review book 1 and 2 : 5 stars Haha, this is silly fun, but with some life lessons read. Puns and well use of font design to pull our attention to the keywords. The illustrations are fun too, easy for the kids to replicate as do their favorite ice cream character. I like the fun fact at the end, I did not know that. It is a good story of a bully being defeated by teamwork. Also, good forgiveness examples. We have an ice cream museum in Chicago. I have to visit it. So fun how a

5 stars Overcoming obstacles together. Good Boy has great art and design. The story focuses on a boy mirroring confidence so his new buddy can act as confident as him. They are both a mess at the start, and their relationship grows with patience, dedication, and persistence. Also, it's important to have family, adult guidance, and friends' support. Light-spirited and with sweet humor. Get book here

Trying to catch a bear's photograph for the National Geographic Cover? How fun. The Mc is sweet, naive, and trustworthy, but a disaster when it comes to wildlife rules and competing with other pro photographers. Yes, she is, but she never quits (heavily Christian and faith associated with nature and beauty, but this aspec

@clarionbooks @harperkids #GirlScoutBook #GirlScouts #AnikaandtheGreatDogRescue #SayantaniDasGupta @tlcbooktours I love this series, easy to read, great pacing, and size. The characters are rich in culture and relatable, even when from different cultures. Volume two is about pets, and it's my favorite so far, with great family and friends' relationships, scenes, and actions, educational and worth taking as a model. I love the artwork as well.
