Review: Weathernose

Weathernose Weathernose by Maram Taibah
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received a free copy of this book through BookSirens in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

This novella really annoyed me for half the book because it seemed like the children dictated the actions of the adults. For example, why is it up to the child whether the father gave someone a job in the bookstore? The parent should be the parent. Just because a child is smart, does not mean they should have a free for all. This is just one of a few examples. At the beginning, I sympathized with Tart (even though he went overboard now and again) more than I did with Cypress.

After the story unfolded, it turned out to be a decent story. It's a story of two people finding themselves through turmoil.

Review: The Book of Christmas

The Book of Christmas The Book of Christmas by Jane Struthers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book has a good history of where Christmas traditions come from. As the book progresses to the present it focuses on British traditions. I found that the closer to the present we got the more I was skimming the book. The first half of the book was the best part as it has the historical aspects.

Review: Spooky Little Things

Spooky Little Things Spooky Little Things by Matthew T. Eaton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received a Kindle edition of this book through a Goodreads Giveaway.

This was a cute fun read. It's a good get into Halloween book even though it's geared towards middle grade kids.
