SHOUT

Stars 4/5

SHOUT by Laurie Halse Anderson

This book could be a hard read for some because of dealing with the subject matter of rape and sexual assault but I do believe that it is a must read. It is book done so very well in a poetic grace going into the author's life and the crimes against her. I love this author's writing style and I definitely recommend this book.

The Man In The Brown Suit (Colonel Race #1)

Stars 4/5

The Man In The Brown Suit (Colonel Race #1) by Agatha Christie

This is the first book in the Colonel Race series and I really enjoyed it. I love Agatha Christie's writing style and the mystery and this book was no exception. The story follows Anne Beddingfield as she witnesses a murder and is set out to find the killer. This is one of Agatha Christie's first novels, written in 1924, and as I did enjoy it I found that I still love her Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot series more. I do highly recommend this book though. It is a wonderful read.

Pippa The Pumpkin Fairy by Tim Bugbird

I just love pumpkins and fairies so I had to have this book! Such a sweet Halloween story. Pippa, the pumpkin fairy, spells up some odd pumpkins and had to hide them because she was so embarrassed. This is a very bright and colorful book that is great for kids of all ages during the Halloween season. I highly recommend it.

The Doll Hospital by Kallie George

Illustrations by Sara Gillingham

Such a sweet book with bright and colorful illustrations. I just loved it. The story follows Dr. Pegs as she is planning her day to sort buttons because no one is sick and needs her attention. Just when she gets started, the doorbell rings and the sick dolls start coming. A very cute story for kids of all ages. I highly recommend it especially if you love dolls like I do.

Come Tumbling Down (Wayward Children #5)

Stars 5/5

Come Tumbling Down (Wayward Children #5) by Seanan McGuire

This is the fifth book in the Wayward Children series and I just loved it. I think the only complaint that I have about this book is that it is so short. I love all the characters and the worlds. It is so unique and creative. I just can't wait for the next book to see what door we will go through next. This book begins with Jack making an appearance back at the school and needs helps. She recruits her friends to come back through her door into her world to help stop her twin sister Jill. I don't want to say more as to not spoil it but OMG this series is a must read.

14 (Taylor Jackson #2)

Stars 5/5

14 (Taylor Jackson #2) by J.T. Ellison

This is the second book in the Taylor Jackson series and I just loved it. I am so into this series and can not wait to read the next book! The story continues to follow Homicide Detective Taylor Jackson and her fiance as they are on a new case. The Snow White killer has made a comeback or at least they think he has. Women fitting the description of the fairy tale princess are being found dead after decades since the last woman was found. I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it.
