Regina Rising by Wendy Toliver My rating: 2 of 5 stars I would recommend watching the show before reading this book. Normally, I would say book first, but because this is just the background story of one of the characters of a television show, I would switch the order. There was part of of the … Continue reading Regina Rising
Skulduggery Pleasant
Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy My rating: 4 of 5 stars Honestly, this series, it is in a class of its own. It has a ton of dry humor that I enjoy. The relationship between Skulduggery and Valkyrie/Stephanie is great. Skulduggery tries to act important, and Valkyrie just knocks him down, over and over.In this … Continue reading Skulduggery Pleasant
Ozma of Oz
Ozma of Oz by L. Frank Baum My rating: 3 of 5 stars I love the Oz books. I mean this one says, "...at a third ring he screamed in a fury, "Hippikaloric!" which must be a dreadful word because we don't know what it means." Really it's lines like that that make books enjoyable. … Continue reading Ozma of Oz
Royal Wedding
Royal Wedding by Meg Cabot My rating: 1 of 5 stars I've read this book twice, and am still confused. This series started out as a mix of middle-grade and YA books. This last one is firmly planted in adult literature. I can't figure out who the audience for this series is supposed to be. … Continue reading Royal Wedding

The Hero’s Guide to Storming the Castle
The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle by Christopher Healy My rating: 3 of 5 stars Two books in, and I have no clue what to think of Briar Rose.

The Plot to Kill Hitler
The Plot to Kill Hitler: Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Spy, Unlikely Hero by Patricia McCormick My rating: 2 of 5 stars While the history of the events was fascinating, I had a hard time getting into the book. It's a short one, but it seemed to read more like a text book of facts than anything … Continue reading The Plot to Kill Hitler
My Life as a Potato
My Life as a Potato by Arianne Costner My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is one of those books that you look at and kind of question. I don't think mascot fiction is something that is plentiful, but after this, maybe it should be. The story takes place in Idaho, because let's face it, … Continue reading My Life as a Potato

Troll Control by Elise Allen My rating: 3 of 5 stars I've been trying to decide which of the kids Gabby has babysat has been my favorite, and I can't. Because they are all different species, each one of them has traits that the others wouldn't have no matter how hard they tried. This one … Continue reading Troll Control
