Book review 💙📚
It’s a story of monsters, made by people and circumstance. It’s also about those that life tried to make into monsters but who, against all odds, kept their heart intact.
This is a world where you follow your dreams.

Book review 💙📚😱
Being in the splash zone when someone is Wile E. Coyote’d piano style isn’t the strangest thing that’s happened to Misha this week. He’s probably about to lose his job. Oh, and a bunch of the characters he’s written are out to get him.

This book is jam-packed with action, which young readers will enjoy. My favourite scene, though, was when Wylah was in the Dreamtime with Grandma. I love Grandma.

Anne (with an e) has been reimagined by ten authors. Having known Anne Shirley Cuthbert for over three decades, she’s become part of my story and I was keen to see what she’s been up to in other people’s imaginations.

I’d argue that every horror story needs a lighthouse. This one also has turkey vultures and itchy eyes. Counting has never been so creepy. This was such a fun read!

This was a fascinating read. The experience of losing almost all of her belongings in a storage unit fire in her 20’s has given the author a unique perspective regarding what our stuff means to us and how it changes over time.

Jade did something that’s rare for me in horror reads. She got under my skin, without using a knife.
Over the past couple of years she’s taken on a significance that reached well beyond the pages.

Readers who have experienced domestic or family violence will identify with Greg’s behaviours and the agonising position Rosie was in.
This book is a heartbreaking testament to a mother’s love for her son and her concerted effort to protect him.

This book is love, loss and peanuts of repentance. You’ll encounter a bunch of Mielk words and you’ll endear yourself to Ferris if you bring some candles. You’ll crave pie à la mode and you’re likely to see pliers differently after this read.

Sometimes the reality of a book doesn’t line up with your expectations but that’s not always the worst thing that could happen.
I was awed by the amount of research that must have gone into the potential repurposing of each plant.
