In a month with three less days, I somehow read five more books? I don’t know what’s happening either.

I have 27 books on my official TBR for the month. Yes. That’s a lot. That’s also what happens when I keep adding goals to my plate, things that I really want to accomplish. Thankfully, I have a week and a day of Spring Break to help with the reading goals. We shall see if/when…

I got through quite a bit in this episode. These are the other two continuation stories to classic Disney movies that I checked out. I enjoyed both of these which manage to believably tell an after the end credits story. I also have to give props to the artist for the Ariel story because they…

Thanks to either a mild stomach bug or mild food poisoning, this will be a shorter entry than normal. I have full reviews written for two of the four books that I will discuss here. (The graphic novels will have their usual separate post.) I finished the third book, Immortal, Thursday evening and then hours…

As book banning has ramped up and terrible regulations slipped through a legal loophole in my state meaning that 11 books have been banned statewide in school libraries, I have become even more passionate about doing whatever I can to support wide access to literature for all my students and all SC students.

The stacks of books languished and grew in my library as I transitioned from videos back to the blog and did not know how I would format an hual post as opposed to a video. I definitely won’t say that I have come anywhere close to figuring out a final format but I need to…

I had fun with this slightly absurdist fantasy. The main character wakes up after a magical accident apparently gone wrong, missing his eyebrows and also his memories. Although he finds his eyebrows quickly (set aside prior to the experiment) the memories do not return. This makes the situation a bit difficult when he realizes that…

For a girl who could count on one hand the number of books I had ever DNF’d, getting to the point of DNF’ing not just one but four books in the same month is a big deal. Since I have way too many books that I want to read, I have no time to waste…

Unlike the other graphic novelizations of Disney movies, I have watched the source material for this one. While I think that this one did a decent job in adapting the story, I prefer this story in its original form. I think, perhaps, these adaptions would work much better if Disney spent a little bit more…

Kim Johnson did it again. This story packed a punch and will definitely live for quite a while in my head. In this story, Andre, a high school senior, tries to make it day to day starting with serving the punishment for a crime he did not commit to quickly including the rapid descent into…
