The Tales of Beedle the Bard–J.K. Rowling

Can you even believe that someone such as I has never read this book in its entirety?  Almost as insane as I still haven’t seen Fantastic Beasts even though I own two copies….and I read the book.  I will 100% use this book as a story tale basis when I have kids. It was soContinue reading “The Tales of Beedle the Bard–J.K. Rowling”

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children–Ranson Riggs

We’ve made it out of the Roald Dahl vortex. Thank God. I was originally reading this book because I had been interested in it for awhile and then the movie was coming out, so naturally, I was trying to prep myself for the movie! And then I never went and saw the movie. I holdContinue reading “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children–Ranson Riggs”

The Roald Dahl Collection

Fantastic Mr. Fox Admittedly, I didn’t know Roald Dahl even wrote this. I thought it came from the likes of someone with a twisted mind like Tim Burton. Well, given what his other books, I wasn’t totally wrong. This book was good, but had some serious darkness in it. I didn’t like reading to theContinue reading “The Roald Dahl Collection”

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory–Roald Dahl

Contrary to what I’ve been writing about Roald Dahl’s books on here (those were the questionable ones to be sure) I do actually enjoy his writing. It is not really for toddlers, but I should’ve probably knew they weren’t going to be. My bad. However, this book was totally lovely! Just as I remember it.Continue reading “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory–Roald Dahl”

The Giraffe, The Pelly, and Me—Roald Dahl This book was short and sweet and so will this review be: This was about a little boy who was introduced to his new neighbours: a giraffe, a pelican, and a monkey. They had just moved in and were renovating a house to be their business. They wereContinue reading “Roald Dahl”

Matilda–Roald Dahl

The kid and I, well mostly me, decided to start reading all the Roald Dahl books in his sisters room after I had read the Disney stories until I could barf. (And I love Disney stories.) I basically knew the entire thing cover to cover, and it had pictures, and it was heavy to hold,Continue reading “Matilda–Roald Dahl”

The Short Stack.

Good morning everyone! I’m clearing house of the tiny reviews. So here’s four to take a gander at. Summer of My Amazing Luck—Miriam Toews Literally only picked this up because I knew it was set in the summer. (Book challenge #14-A Book Set in the Summer [26BooksWithBringingUpBurns 2015.]) What a treat it was though! IContinue reading “The Short Stack.”

Hamish X and the Cheese Pirates–Sean Cullen

Kiddy book time! I found this in a thrift store and thought to myself “Mac would like this! Time to see if it’s appropriate!” (Mac being my little cousin.) Definitely suggest this for kid around nine or ten, it was a pretty cute story. Hamish X is bounced from work house to work house andContinue reading “Hamish X and the Cheese Pirates–Sean Cullen”
