Recent Reviews:
Veronica Mars: The Thousand Dollar Tan Line by Rob Thomas and Jennifer Graham
3.5 stars
As a huge fan of the series and the
recent movie, I was both hesitant and excited about this book. Fortunately, I really enjoyed it and would
recommend it to other fans. It kept the
same tone as the television show and I always inserted the voice and image of
the actors into the dialogue as I was reading.
It is nice to have a new book series to follow.
How Not to Calm a
Child on a Plane: and Other Lessons in Parenting from a Highly Questionable
Source by Johanna Stein (received through NetGalley)
4 stars
Johanna Stein has written a highly
relatable book on her experiences in parenting and I laughed out loud several
times at her observations and exploits.
Not a handbook, this instead serves to make other parents feel a little
better about the daily rollercoaster of child rearing. I especially sympathized with her aversion
turned coveting of the American Girl Doll.
The short chapters and funny anecdotes make this a quick and enjoyable
read. I received this book through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
