I appreciate how there are lots of helpful games and scenarios included, and the summaries at the end of each chapter help the reader to retain information.
We’re not there yet with accurately diagnosing females with ADHD, but we’re in a much better place, and books like this are a tremendous help and resource.

It’s been over thirty-five years since the original “Cake Bible” premiered, however, and an update has been long overdue. I learned so much from reading this. Rose Levy Beranbaum has dedicated her life to creating delicious desserts, and she’s been very busy since 1988. As such, there are a lot of new recipes and variations in this edition that you simple must try out. I know cake aficionados are anxiously awaiting this, and the long wait ends before Halloween this year! It’s worth it!

I think I’m going to have to give this one 3.5 stars, rounded up. It’s got potential, but ultimately, my interest waned the further I read. This is kiI think I’m going to have to give this one 3.5 stars, rounded up. It’s got potential, but ultimately, my interest waned the further I read. This is kind of like a Harry Potter meets Percy Jackson story. Tempest finds out she has a very unusual background and that there are others willing to kill her for it. She then moves to a private compound where there are many similar people, and she learns more about where she came from. Add some pining and romance, and you’ve got “A Trace of Something Stranger.”
Now, I’m not a sweeping romance kind of person, but I don’t mind some sprinkled into a story. This one was over the top, for me. I’m paraphrasing, but stuff like “He couldn’t control his protective urges and didn’t know why” just makes me annoyed. You just met!!

Things devolve pretty quickly when a school field trip class finds themselves on a damaged spaceship.
Apparently the knowledge that you have a dwindling air supply and only one cryo unit turns people into savages.
Oh, the lack of humanity!
Read on, if you dare, but don’t say I didn’t warn you about the violence.

I liked this, but it’s a little longer than it needs to be. There’s a lot going on, but one thing remains the same, and that is that humans will always have enemies, sometimes even amongst themselves. The novels ends with a pretty startling revelation, and I do want to read the next installment to see what happens. Again, as in Book One, the text suffers from some typos. This series has real promise—it just needs a good editor or two.

I hated the beginning, but then it got a lot better. The characters are well-fleshed out, and you truly come to care for them. There are still a few typos in here, which really should have been fixed by now, considering this was published in 2017. Still, I enjoyed the book and want to read more about the main characters.
On to Book Two!

You, too, will wonder where the main characters came from and why they can’t leave. It’s a scary mystery that unravels little by little.
Trigger warning: body horror, and lots of it. Don’t read this if you are squeamish.

I appreciated the If you’re looking for advice on how to write any type of fiction or nonfiction, this little book will have some great tips for you. I appreciated the summaries at the end of each chapter, and Banham also includes some helpful exercises to get the creative juices flowing. The author is British, and thus many of the recommendations are as well, but the book is for anyone. This was just published, so check it out!

It’s super helpful if you have a child with ASD, or even if you only know someone who does. Loveson has great ideas on how to support kids and teens with autism. It’s got tips and tricks, as well as suggestions for online support for both parents and their kids. It’s refreshingly upbeat, when so many times we parents beat ourselves up when we make mistakes. I would definitely read more from Loveson.
This is available now!

As in, I want more, more and more. It’s a haunting fairytale/dark academia rolled into one. It’s a “screw you” straight to the men who think women are insipid, flighty and incapable of rational thought. It’s a treatise on mental health. This has the most realistic portrayal I have ever read of someone with anxiety and panic attacks. Educate yourself on what that’s like by reading this book.
And that prose! It’s absolutely gorgeous.
I just preordered a special edition hardback. Yeah, I liked it a little. Now I want Ava Reid to write “Angharad”, pretty please.
FYI: There are a couple of sex scenes in here that aren’t explicit, but they are not PG, either. That’s my one complaint—it would have been very easy to make them tame. It’s a personal preference of mine, as usual....more

The sketches and finished drawings/paintings are phenomenal, and Kiefer breaks down each step for you. He mentions art supplies throughout the book, but if you miss something, all of his recommendations are listed at the end of the book. I love Kiefer’s, and I also think my oldest would be interested in learning how to house sketch. Additionally, the author has added tutorials that you can access by scanning certain pages.
Pick this up in August!

He was such an example to many of us growing up, and his quotes espousing love, kindness and compassion live on. Here you will find a quote or a song for every day of the year.
Mister Rogers was a special man, and I’m glad to see that his work continues to be shared with newer generations. This book is inspiring, just like the man himself.

It starts off like it’s purely nonfiction, but then it quickly veers into silly territory. It’s hilarious! Stargell perfectly walks the line between interesting information and crazy characters that show up and keep messing up the flow of the book. I know my kids would find this hysterically funny, and I think yours will, too. Also, there’s some hidden Jurassic Park Easter eggs in here, which I always appreciate, since it’s one of the greatest movies ever made. Todd’s a clever boy. ...more

It’s a great little guide for kids to learn or refresh the skills they need to survive in the wilderness. There are so many useful tips! I loved how it also included some real-life survival stories—and they were kids by themselves! The point they stressed over and over is to stay put as soon as you realize you’re lost. That was mentioned a number of times because it’s so important.
Almost any calamity that could possibly befall you is covered here. I highly recommend it, even if your kids aren’t interested in the outdoors. The knowledge may come in handy someday.
