Anyone else on iPad app not able to add pictures, edit posts or rate items. This is like 3 days in a row. But I see others have pictures.

Anyone else limited like me.?

4 ⭐This is not a children‘s book. I repeat this is not a children‘s book. However, adults are going to love a picture book just for them. This is comedic horror in picture book format. That is quick and simple to get through. This story is interesting. The illustrations are entertaining, and it puts a big smile on the face of the reader. I love this and I want more of it. At the end, it says 10 will be coming for revenge! Yes, I need that book!

4 ⭐This was adorable. This is my first Ally Hazelwood, but she‘s gained popularity very quickly and I see why. This book takes place mostly in California and northern Chicago. This is about two people who grew up together. One‘s been in love with their entire life and the other had to come to the realization that this beautiful man is more than her best friend‘s little brother, but the love of her life. This was a heartfelt short story

2 ⭐ This book is a DNF. We start with a young woman who does store windows getting told that she will be laid off in the coming year. And this is after she already feels embarrassed from falling over her tall shoes, dropping multiple things out of her purse and running into the security guard. This book is a set up to find love between her and the security guard and that‘s perfectly OK. I think for me it‘s the reader that is getting to me.

2 ⭐This book was a very short DNF. They‘re like a Hallmark movie for the ears. This book starts out with our two misters. Their relationship is on the rocks because they‘ve been married, but don‘t make time for each other. I know the description tells me that they end up taking over for Santa Claus and decide to give each other a year to make the relationship work. I never got to any of that because it was a depressing.

4 ⭐While I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I wouldn‘t say it‘s fun. We follow Huda through her junior year as she finds out her parents are getting a divorce. She has to learn how to deal with this in a Muslim family where seeking mental health. This is handled in an intelligent and thoughtful way that teens who need it will fully understand. It also gives insight into the lives of a Muslim teenager that might be helpful to their non-Muslim friends.

4 ⭐ In this book, we have a woman who finds out that her aunt is dying and her aunt wants one thing , a book from her childhood. A particular book of verse by Robert Lewis Stevenson illustrated by a particular artist. Our main character decides she‘s going to try her best to find a copy of this book. Along the way she makes friends with a handsome young bookseller and the two of them are going to see if they can‘t

4 ⭐This was a fun story to get one in a holiday mood. In it, we have a very handsome tall and built baker trying to save his small business and an artist who works for a mega cookie company who is just trying to do her job. The two butt heads then fall in love in a book, that‘s exactly what you think you‘re going to get from the title in the cover. Thought it was great fun and look forward to seeing the movie if Hallmark ever picks it up.

4.5 ⭐ This was exactly what you want in a cozy romance. It‘s grumpy sunshine. It‘s fake dating. It‘s holiday disasters in achieving your dreams. It‘s just a good time. While I enjoyed this book, main character had a big personality flip. This is plausible for a Hallmark style romcom, but normally, that big a change in two months would be annoying and unexpected. But the point was to make you feel warm, happy and cozy and it did exactly that.

My #stuffedstockingswapis on its way. I forgot to get a pick. So you get to see my starting wheel while I await my target other. @Avanders

Late is better then never and at least I have my first book done. It‘s been checked twice. 🤪

3 ⭐Edie O‘Sullivan is a curmudgeon, who doesn‘t like the holidays, or people, or even her own family. She is a retired teacher in her 80s who spends her days doing jigsaw puzzles and creating crosswords for the London times. But someone is out to ruin her already dreary holidays. Evil shenanigans are afoot when Edie receives a package of puzzle pieces with a note to solve the mystery or else. She gets the neighbor, and her nephew involved,

2 ⭐ I like the cover of this book and that‘s about it. The story is wordy beyond belief. It looks like it should be either an easy reader or a picture book but it‘s coming in at about a third grade reading level. I find the story is more annoying than interesting, which made it extremely hard to finish.

4 ⭐ An interesting take on a nature book. Well done and kids will find it interesting.

2.5 ⭐ I understand the idea behind this book oft urning the idea of being scared into being excited. It‘s saying look on the bright side. At times the ideas are cliché like make lemonade at lemons. Other times there are off the wall examples. Halfway through the book it talks about homeless people and “I‘m not scared, I‘m excited.” I understand the sentiment of not wanting a child to fear a homeless person, they are people. But the way it is

4 ⭐ This was a sweet story. A child has two mittens and loses one. This story follows the adventures of the left mitten while the right one wonders what happened to their friend. This book is sweet and a little sad, but with a happy ending. The illustrations are perfect for this sensation the authors making one want to feel.

This is a short audiobook , but I am DNFing it. I can get behind the love story of a bunch of 50-year-olds and everyone making mistakes, but when the main character has been divorced three times, I don‘t find a character I want read another romance about. I applaud everyone their journey, but I can‘t get into a love story, knowing the characters had three others and gotten it wrong/ It makes finding a Happily Ever After implausible.

2 ⭐This is one of those WTF books. You have the schools highest honor student Sanpai and a random girl who is crushing on the best student. But the best student is extremely needy. She needs someone to pet her and love her. This book is like reading a semi sexual, not quite bondage, but definitely play of the Master variety. The best student needs special moments with this other girl and chances to be praised. Chances to be spoiled.

3 ⭐ This is about someone who takes their cat for a walk. And the second day the cat takes the human for the walk. The coloring and the way the story is laid out makes the reader feel hollow. It‘s almost like this is fine or that you‘re not old enough to understand. While reading this book, I feel like part of Mr. Bigg‘s funeral (and just like that) where it had to be in the ultimate stylish place. That was a big white void.

4 ⭐ Winter is setting and all of badger‘s friends have gone to their winter naps. Badger checks in on everyone, but no luck finding someone who will play. So, badger makes new friends. This story is simple and to the point, but the illustrations are unique in a classic way that can stand the test of time. They‘re striking but make you want to curl up with a soft blanket on a cold winter night and read more.

4 ⭐This is a story about putting pen to paper and just writing. About ways to make it easier, and ways to start and never stop. This clever book rhymes and the illustrations pop off the page. This book is simple but says everything and more that any kid who loves a story might use to get started creating their own.

4 ⭐This is a weird little chapter book that I ended up really liking. It‘s a cross between a picture book and a chapter book but it‘s harder than an easy reader. You have an axolotl who is named Hugs and that‘s what they love to do. However, Hugs-a-lotl loses both of their arms and must to wait for them to grow back. While they‘re growing back, who will hug for them. He has someone who will raise a hand in class, someone who will paint a picture,

2.5 ⭐ This book was first a poem. And while I usually love illustrated poetry for children, this seems confusing. We start with a fox in the field with the meadow and then the interact in a city and how they live, but fox don‘t care if humans are there is watching. It‘s odd and I‘m not sure how well kids will enjoy it.

3.5 ⭐ This is a simple kid‘s book. Two sisters make plans for the day, but they get rained out. They make a new set of plans, but those aren‘t possible. The day is not what it‘s supposed to be, but it turns out to be perfect because the two sisters are together. This book is sweet and typical. The illustrations have a childlike feel that go well with the narrator of the story.

4 ⭐ This book was interesting. A young child finds a treasure chest full of words. They use the words to make things grow, shrink, and go crazy. They learn that words are not only important but that they can be found everywhere. This book doesn‘t feel like it has an ending, but the reader doesn‘t mind. What really draws one into this book is not just the story of how words change things but the masterful illustrations.

2.5 ⭐ The best way to describe this book is as a made for TV Nickelodeon special. In it, we have Mica who wants to get out of her small town and experience new things. Her abuela is incredibly strict and doesn‘t let her date. She meets a handsome and dreamy guy, and they connect over a shared love of horror novels. She so amazed she sneaks out of the house to be with him. However, it turns out this guy is the prince of Hell - the son of Satan.

Hey all, it may not feel like it (in my neck of the woods) but the holidays are almost here. That means it is time for the annual Holiday Card Swap.

@OriginalCyn620 I‘m #deadlyaerious that I didn‘t keep track of my bingos and could have kept better time on readathon a but I had been a crazy month. So my points are 5425. Could have been more but it would take me a week to get to all that.

4.5 ⭐ This is the sequel to the Witch Boy, but it would be possible to read it out of order. There might be some catch-up, but not enough to really affect the story. This is a story about friendship. About how people from different walks of life can be friends. How sometimes friends see the danger before the person experiencing it does. This book is about family. It‘s about love acceptance and everything else that made book number one so fantastic

3 ⭐ This manga was alright. Apparently, it was a light novel first. My biggest issue with this book is it feels like snippets of a longer story. Where you‘re just seeing one scene after another with nothing to connect them. We start with Elana as a child determining that they‘re going to be a witch. Then move onto her being a witch and getting her own apprentice who turns out was just lonely.

5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Bunnicula is a classic for a reason. The story is timeless and is still fresh every time you read it. The newest version is in graphic novel, and the perfect illustrators were picked to take this classic and make it modern for a new generation. There‘s nothing to tell about the story itself as it stands on its own decades after it was published. But it took skilled artists to make that medium visual in a way that‘s entertaining to kids

3 ⭐this graphic novel/manga is hard to get into and at times hard to follow. It feels like the words are reading in the wrong direction at times. A woman inherits a creepy house and finds out there is a strange cat that lives in there. This isn‘t any cat, it‘s a monster cat. it can grow and shrink. It can multiply. It could destroy the world if allowed. You also have the local police officer who has the hots for the girl

4 ⭐This was a wonderfully cute book. Some slightly magical dogs are taken to a shelter, and each find a home. However, Hocus and Pocus want to go to a home together. But to do that, they must create mischief to get adopted by the perfect person. They might even have to steal away to a witch home to prove that they belong. This is a full color early chapter book, and it was magical. You‘ll love the characters you‘ll love the pets.

This is a full color early chapter book, and it was magical. You‘ll love the characters you‘ll love the pets.

3 ⭐ This book is about being yourself and how there is no one exactly like you. Each page takes a concept and talks about how you as a human match that concept whether it‘s being animal whether it‘s being water whether it‘s being unique and different. All in all the book and has to match.

3 ⭐ This picture book is interesting. The illustrations are the standout in this book. They‘re bright they‘re colorful and they really bring the joy to the words on the pages. This isn‘t bad and it seems like it wants to have a cadence but the cadence frequently changes which causes stutters as reading aloud. Overall, the story and the message are nice but the book is just ehh.

4 ⭐This was an interesting nonfiction book. It‘s not a graphic novel, but leans heavily on graphic novel coloring and art. It is set up as a nonfiction book and while the information is fun and important, it feels very redundant with how things are laid out. Having said that, I know kids will check this book out repetitively if you put it on shelves.

4 ⭐ This book was adorable. It set up as a picture book, but I think would work much better in the US market as a board book. The adorable illustrations are of a kiwi with a horn. This book is a question and recall. The front page is a list of attributes, and the back page then says that the Kiwicorn is exactly that. This book will sell well for the illustrations and for the story and will want to be checked out over and over again.

2 ⭐This is a DNF. I‘m 10% in and it‘s all about two idiots making meth, wanting to move to Cincinnati and getting interrupted by something landing from space. This is a galley and it‘s kind of fuzzy, which makes it hard to read, and I just don‘t care to try and struggle through. Even if the meth heads are only part of this for the first few pages it‘s not worth getting to the end.

2 ⭐This book seems OK. Kids might enjoy it. I shall be DNF thing as I just find it annoying. It feels like every single character is constantly anxious and no one can be calm and we haven‘t even really gotten into a lot of the ghosts yet.

3 ⭐A preacher wrestles with his faith when tragedy occurs. The family structure was already starting to crumble before the car accident but now that he and his remaining daughter can see ghosts. Life has gotten crazy. They now have this ability to not just see ghosts, but help them find their end. However, the line between ghost and demon is not strict and sometimes the entity wants more than just to be told they‘re free. This book is odd.

3 ⭐ The second book by S. A. Barnes introduces us to Dr. Ophelia Bray. Her specialty is asleep. When people don‘t get enough sleep on spaceships and visiting other planets it could cause them to become self-harm inflicting murderous tyrants. Ophelia wants to make sure this never happens to anyone else again. As the only psychologist who was just embedded on a ship that had recently lost a member, her travel is not going to be easy.

3 ⭐Sometimes a staycation is just as horrifying as a vacation. Three kids and their neighborhood prankster learn this when they decide to camp in the backyard. Scratches on the wall aren‘t scratches. It‘s monster tentacles out to get them. The kids get into a tree, and then cant they come down, how come nobody can hear them? Oh my goodness what just happened to their parents. If you want to know this and find out what the tentacles belong to, the

4 ⭐ This is another fun book in the monster series from Happy Yak books. It was just like all the other ones. It‘s a cute singsong rhyme with great illustrations that kids are going to want to read again and again.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐5 ⭐
This book was wonderful. However, it needs a different cover. The cover is kind of boring and looks self-published, but the illustrations found within the pages are amazing. Kids will want to read and see this book once you give them something to draw them in.

4.5 🌟While the cover of this book clearly indicates it takes place in October this book could be read at any time. A little boy meets Griselda, who is opening a brand-new bookstore. He doesn‘t like to read, but with Griselda‘s help he‘s going to find a book just for him. But first they must have a little fun and magic in the bookshop. This book was lovely, and the illustrations are adorable.

2 ⭐This book from imagination press is about making choices. Sometimes you can fear the idea of making a choice, but you need to do it anyway or else things could turn out badly. I like that this didn‘t follow the standard educational material format but at the same time, I don‘t think the book did a good job imparting its lesson. I do think the illustrations are fun and there will be people who like this book but overall it‘s long and boring.

3 ⭐ What the heck did I just read? A boy, because that‘s all I can think of him as, summons the great Duke of Hell to help him get the girl of his dreams that works at a restaurant. He makes friends with another guy that seems scared of everything and tells the great Duke of Hell he can go back to hell. His sister goes missing because she realizes there‘s a demon in the house and I‘m going to must kill him. And something is off with the girl who
