Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde A Graphic Novel

Stars 5/5
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde A Graphic Novel by Robert Louis Stevenson
Illustrated by Andrzej Klimowski & Danusia Schejbal
*Booktube-A-Thon Read*

I have always enjoyed the story of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde but I just loved this book because the illustrations were amazing. The dark charcoal like drawings brought the story to life in a creepy, spine tingling way. It was just what the Doctor ordered on the stormy night I read this. This graphic novel will grace my bookcase for years to come. I would recommend to everyone. 

The Tea Dragon Society

Stars 5/5
The Tea Dragon Society by Kate O'Neill
*ARC READ*
*Releases Oct 31, 2017*
*Booktube-A-Thon Read*

Oh how I just loved this book. I would love to have all these little tea dragons! As a person who loves fantasy and loves tea just as much, this book was one that made me smile all the way through it. A coming of age story that follows Greta & her new friends and how they find themselves and their purpose in life. I hope there will be more. I can just imagine the adventures they could go on and so many more tea dragons. I will be watching out. I read this book for the Booktube-a-thon and would recommend it to everyone!

The Shark-Headed Bear-Thing

Stars 5/5
The Shark-Headed Bear-Thing by Barry Hutchinson
Illustrated by Chris Mould

I picked this book to read during Shark Week and it was such a different spin on sharks that I loved it. A fun coming of age book. The characters are very likable and you go on an adventure with them as they, not only search for the monster, but find out what powers they really carry. I would love to see a whole series of Benjamin Blank. I can just imagine how fun going on adventures in his world would be. I would recommend this book to everyone. You are never to old to enjoy a Shark-Headed Bear-Thing!

Romantically Disturbed: Love Poems To Rip Your Heart Out

Stars 5/5
Romantically Disturbed: Love Poems To Rip Your Heart Out by Ben H. Winters
Illustrated by Adam F. Watkins

What a fun short book of lightly disturbed poetry and artful dark illustrations. This book is for all ages. Not overly gruesome but enough to cause a fright. Such a wonderful collection that can be enjoyed by all. I would recommend this to everyone. My favorite poem was Decisions Decisions! I think I may have gotten in trouble at school if would of read that poem back then!
