My Thoughts on The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
Hello and happy Saturday. Sometimes I need to read a book for young readers, and that’s what The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo was. Edward Tulane is a china rabbit who doesn’t speak or move. He does think, and throughout his journey he discovers that he also feels. This is not a…

My Thoughts on Boy Proof
Hello and happy Friday. About a month ago, as the school year wrapped up and I basically had nothing to do but wait for time to pass by, I took Boy Proof by Cecil Castellucci to work and attempted to read it while I could. I say “attempted” because I had a hard time with…

My Thoughts on Chubby, Charming, and Chaotic
Hello and happy Thursday. I came back from a trip tomorrow and I’m happy to be back home, with my to-do list. Today I’m bringing you the opposite of a recommendation, a rant for sure. I recently read Chubby, Charming, and Chaotic, which is the second book in the Plush Daisies series by Ava Catori.…

My Thoughts on Kissing Ted Callahan
Hello and happy Wednesday. In a few hours, I’ll be going to the airport because I’m traveling to the city where my dad lives to visit him. You can’t tell, but I’m super excited because I love airports and planes, and I’m obviously looking forward to spending the weekend with my dad. When I’m about…

My Thoughts on Fans of the Impossible Life
Hello and happy Tuesday. When I was in my early 20s, I decided I’d write a novel with one of my best friends. Now that I’m revisiting it because I’m back into writing and I want to see what is salvageable, I am faced with the reality that it is extremely pretentious. This is what…

My Thoughts on Half a World Away
Hello and happy Sunday. I’m officially on vacation and couldn’t be more excited. Being a teacher is rewarding, but it’s so exhausting. One of the things I had to do this year that won’t be a part of my obligations next year was joining my students in a 20-minute silent reading activity every Friday. I…

My Thoughts on Emmy & Oliver
Hello and happy Saturday. Have you read a novel by a well-known author from before they became well-known? What have you thought about it? I recently read Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway, who wrote Far From the Tree, a best-seller that was all over booktube a few years ago. I haven’t read Far From…

My Thoughts on Meet Me at the Bus Stop
Hello and happy Friday. Just like yesterday, today’s post will be short, sweet and to the point. I wish I could say the same about the book I read, Meet Me at the Bus Stop by MJ Ray, but I’m 90% sure that I read the audiobook version of an AI-generated novel. The story is…

My Thoughts on An Officer and a Rebel
Hello and happy Thursday. I have several small and silly things to do this afternoon, and writing this post is one of them. There’s not much I can say about An Officer and a Rebel by Cindi Madsen other than it’s a short, quick holiday romance that works perfectly as a palate cleanser or to…
