Eliza and Her Monsters

Stars 5/5
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia

What an amazing story! I couldn't put this book down. I have grew up using the computer and can relate to Eliza in more ways than one. Her need to be online. Her need to be apart of a world she created. As a graphic designer for a top internet game, I know how she felt and the anxiety of being forced away from the online world. I am so very glad I read this book and I would recommend it to everyone I know especially all my online-addict friends!

Shooter

Stars 4/5
Shooter by Caroline Pignat

If you can imagine, The Breakfast Club with a gunman running around the school, you will get this book. A few school kids, from different social standings, trapped in a bathroom. There are a few twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. It was a very fast read. I enjoyed the story line and all the characters, even though I must say I really felt bad for Alice and her responsibilities being so young and having to help take care of her brother. I would recommend this to everyone.

The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall

Stars 4/5
The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall by Mary Downing Hahn

This story kinda reminded me of The Secret Garden with a ghostly twist. It was a fun quick read that I really enjoyed. I always love ghostly stories. I will say that even through it all, I did feel so sorry for Sophia. The story had a few spooky parts but not too much for the younger reader. It is just right. I would recommend to the young and old alike.

What a fun book to read! Lots of interesting and crazy facts in different categories with awesomely cute illustrations. Reminded me of a handmade scrapbook and I really enjoyed it. It was a very quick read and I have to say I did learn a lot from it. This would make great gifts for everyone. I will recommend this book!

Poe: Stories and Poems

Stars 5/5
Poe: Stories and Poems A Graphic Adaption by Gareth Hinds
(Release Date Aug 1st 2017)
ARC REVIEW
Oh what a beautifully dark graphic novel! I just loved it! I will always love Poe's words and this book put his words to art. Amazing art work. We all have our own pictures of stories in our minds but WOW the art was very defined and a wonderful adaptation to the stories. I will definitely be adding a physical copy of the book to my collection as soon as it is released. I would recommend this to everyone.
