Crime Rhymes II: Vice Verses
Crime Rhymes II: Vice Verses by Dixie J. Whitted My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book is filled with gallows humor, which admittedly, some people might not find funny at all. I am not one of those people. I will admit, there were some rhymes that I did not understand. I read them a … Continue reading Crime Rhymes II: Vice Verses
Grump
Grump: The (Fairly) True Tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves by Liesl Shurtliff My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book had an interesting spin on the classic fairy tale, I'm just not sure if I would ever read it again. It's definitely geared towards younger children who, like me, may find some … Continue reading Grump
Bare Minimum Parenting
Bare Minimum Parenting: The Ultimate Guide to Not Quite Ruining Your Child by James Breakwell My rating: 4 of 5 stars I have to say, one of my favorite parts of the book is when he thanks his kids for not dying, because that would have made him seem like a horrible person to be … Continue reading Bare Minimum Parenting

Competence
Competence by Gail Carriger My rating: 4 of 5 stars Um, so Prim is my favorite character out of ALL the different series. I mean, I know her mother is, well, special...but Prim takes it to a whole other level. I would really enjoy a random sub-series of the adventures of Prim. It wouldn't be … Continue reading Competence
Nice Try, Jane Sinner
Nice Try, Jane Sinner by Lianne Oelke My rating: 3 of 5 stars After reading this book I really want to know, is this something that could actually happen in Canada? I feel like in the United States, there would have been a lot of red tape to go through in order for a college … Continue reading Nice Try, Jane Sinner
Whatshisface
Whatshisface by Gordon Korman My rating: 3 of 5 stars I have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of Shakespeare, so part of this books plot really spoke to me. Not that I'm saying Shakespeare was a fraud or anything like that, but it was fun to read something that did not hold him … Continue reading Whatshisface
