First up for my #GNReadathon are 2 of the bad kitty graphic novels. I have a fondness for black cats because of my cat Chipper 🐈‍⬛ and I read some of these board books to Jace and thought they were funny. So I grabbed these 2 from the library. As a cat lover there is lots to relate to here about cats not wanting to take a bath 😆 These are great for kids 8+. 4⭐️

This was a cute but not amazing easy chapter book about a very spoiled princess who adopts a pig for her birthday - except the pig comes with a pig boy who isn't very impressed by the princess's princessiness haha The drawings were the best part. Soft pick. (i.e. 3.5* It was okay 😂)

BarbaraJean I LOVED Dick King-Smith‘s books when I was a kid! This is one I haven‘t heard of, but adult me probably won‘t track it down 😂 5mo

I'm a sucker for kids' books from the 50s and 60s, but this one was a dud. I don't mind a young character being kind of not-smart/ignorant so that the reader can learn alongside of them, but the girl in this book was so stupid that I worried for her overall survival into adulthood. I think it was supposed to be funny? But it was just annoying lol

I'm taking my just turned 9 year old to Barnes and Noble today to spend the birthday $ he got from the grands, and as luck would have it my IRS refund hit the bank today. So I need all the recommendations. Prefer mysteries and sci-fi and travel memoirs. I love long series I can really sink my teeth into. Don't care for romance or domestic thrillers, but I'm pretty open to anything else. Hit me up with everything you love!

lil1inblue Random thoughts:
Mystery: The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley
Sci-Fi: The Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin
Travel: I actually can't think of anything here. But for some reason I keep thinking of Terry Tempest Williams - she writes a lot about nature and does so beautifully!

vivastory Mystery: ABC Murders or Crooked House (Agatha Christie)/
Sci-Fi: Lathe Of Heaven (Ursula K. Le Guin) Wild Seed (Octavia Butler)
I haven't read this one, but I have heard great things about Barry Lopez's travel book “Arctic Dreams“ Not sure if this would classify as travel memoir, but I absolutely loved Douglas Preston's account of trying to find a lost civilization with the help of many others in 2012 “The Lost City of the Monkey God“

Ruthiella I‘m not sure what you have already read, but thinking of long series: Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne or Dresden File by Jim Butcher- both urban fantasy and Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters - mystery, romance, adventure, historical. 9mo
PuddleJumper The Kate Sugak series by Dana Stabenow is a long mystery/crime series set in Alaska. Very easy reading. 9mo
