#DynamicDs

Since I missed yesterday‘s prompt, I‘m going for double Ds today! (Okay, that sounded better in my head!) 😆 Out Of My Brain is about a #DifferentlyAbled girl & told through #Diary entries. The follow-up (tagged) is still in my TBR.

While I Was Away | Waka T. Brown

I thought the funniest line in the book was when Waka‘s grandma told her, “A lot of Japanese women, their butts are quite flat. You should be happy yours isn‘t.” 😂😂

As it turns out, I am beginning to enjoy biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs more than I thought I would, especially ones written for young adult readers. I like how this one felt like a fiction story about a young girl and not a chronological list of facts about the author‘s life. It made the reading easy and enjoyable.

Onto the last in The Trials of Apollo! I have high hopes for this book, and I'm really excited to be wrapping this series up!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Yes, I'm handing out five-star reviews like lollipops. The trouble is, I simply can't seem to find any reason to rate it any lower. I loved the plot, the characters, the conflict, the action, even the pain (which there was much of) only made me love the book more. I haven't sped through a book this fast in years (I read this in 3 days), and I'm contributing that to the fact that this was such an amazing read.

The medievalish art on the cover of this giant graphic novel made me want to read it. I agree with other readers that it felt a bit long, though I still liked it. It was very educational on what life was like living as a nun and a scorned and punished woman on a desolate island. *Loosely inspired by the exile of Queen Elizabeth 1 by her sister Queen Mary in the 16th century.

I loved this so much,Litsy! 36 six tales of terror written by the same 4 authors pertaining to certain subjects like Cake, Love, Luck, Flowers, Song. Sounds like a charm bracelet right? But no, these are scary, disturbing, well written. I was surprised by how many of them had strong voice, or to encounter a paragraph describing the nature of something and nodding along to it. There was the one about the whalers finding the live boy in the 👇🏼

Reggie the belly of a whale. The one told from the pov of a dog named Rabbit who is worried about the child eating garden of flowers next door. The one that terrified me the most was the one about the girl with her evil, bff ventriloquist doll. All were great. 4d
