Meh, my least favorite of Emily's stories. Too many lists and a little boring.

Creepy and wonderful story just like all of Emily's books. This is a haunting tale of Ann who was killed and is haunting her sister and anyone who plays the game. Just a great spooky tale!

Meh didn't finish it. Boring story and didn't like the graphics. I hope the show will be better than the story in this book. Basically it's about this knight who wants to enter a jousting tournament and thinks he's going to win. He also befriends and gets a helper called “Egg“.

I didn't finish this book due to the triggers that came from listening to this book. I really liked the sea creatures parts but not the author's memoirs about their life.

Butterfinger That is a beautiful cover. I'm sorry that it brought up the triggers. 2w
Riveted_Reader_Melissa The last sea creature book I read I had to bad review too because of the author 😂, I do not mean to laugh… but maybe those that love the deep and want to write about it have deep dark issues. I hope you find a better one for your next read. 2w

This was an interesting book. A lot of questions... okay the whole book is questions about true crime, paranormal and the law. I was able to answer a few of them. My favorite section was the paranormal. It would make a great coffee table book to use when you are bored at home and want to strike up a conversation with guests.

The 78-Storey Treehouse | Andy Griffiths, Terry Denton
post image

This was better than the last book. In this one, a movie is being made of Andy and Terry in their treehouse. You think everything goes smoothly... of course it doesn't!! Lots of hijinks ensue and it all comes together at the end... well kinda. Love the illustrations and of course the story.

Still loving this series!! Hilda, as usual, goes on adventures and finally her mom says stop and stay home. Well of course Hilda sasses her back and she's grounded. However, that doesn't stop her from getting in trouble and winding up in the troll forest! Love love love the graphics and of course Hilda. The ending was surprising and left wide open for the next volume.

Hawkeye Little Hits | Matt Fraction

I liked volume one better. This volume seemed disjointed. Clint gets involved again with the red haired woman where trouble follows her. The confusion for me was the clown? face with the tear that killed Gil (spoiler) and the back story... it was just confusing and I just didn't get it. I'm done with the series.

Absolutely love this series! This time Hilda joins the scouts and is distracted by little nissi (elves) that are getting kicked out of their houses. Also there is a big scary black hound terrorizing the neighborhood. Wonderful graphics, funny story and just love Hilda all around.

The 65-Story Treehouse | Andy Griffiths
post image
Mehso-so

So far my least favorite book in this series. The entire book is Terry and Andy and an inspector time traveling way back in time and then in the future. Not a lot of the treehouse in this book nor their neighbor or all the animals. Hopefully the next one will be better.

So happy the next book came out in the series! This time our fearless kittens find a staff of knowledge. However, the orbs on the staff disappear into the real world and now the cats have to find the orbs before all the magic seeps through to the real world! Love the illustrations and of course the story is super cute! Ending is left wide open for book number 5! Yay!

The story continues and I'm loving every page of it! This time around it's Terry's birthday but Andy doesn't know it. However, his birthday plans are put on hold when they find Mr. Big Nose has been kidnapped by vegetables! The adventure continues with the boys trying to save Mr. Big Nose. Funny, great illustrations and I love to see the new 13 story additions to the tree house.

I really really tried and wanted to like this book but I couldn't read anymore. I made it to page 138 and was done with it. I liked Deke's first book about vampires so I was excited to read this one. The story is about a werewolf boy who is trying to save his family from a mean neighbor who wants their wolf sanctuary closed. There were a few reasons why I couldn't finish it.

Rest of the review in the comments.

booklover3258 I really didn't like the main character and just how his demeanor was towards his family. I didn't realize until writing this review that there was a Hebrew dictionary in the back of the book because trying to understand the Hebrew language while reading it was too much for me. Lastly, the story was just going nowhere for me, it was just going around in circles with nothing to look forward to reading. 2mo

As I am still sick, I will continue with written reviews. I did not even get halfway through this book. I was so excited to get this ARC since I love Chuck D. The illustrations in it are interesting. He talks about meeting other famous people and the role they played when he met them. The reason why I couldn't read all of it was the book format. Review continued in comments.

booklover3258 It's paperback and the writing continues from the 1st page to the 2nd in the margins and it's super hard to read since some of the words are in the middle of the book. I would literally have to tear out the pages in order to fully read the words. Hopefully when the book comes out next year, this will be fixed and I can read and enjoy it. 2mo

Ah these books are just a breath of fresh air and so light. The third volume centers on the extra 13 stories in the treehouse, the machine that will write a book for them and some weird guy called the uninventor. Chaos ensues and things get thrown out of whack but in the end it all comes together and everyone is happy. Illustrations are cute and love the story.
