Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals About Death

Review: Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs ? - Caitlin Doughty - September 2019

As soon as I saw this book come into the teen area at work, I knew I had to read it as come on, who wouldn't want to know if their cat - their most beloved pet would eat their eyeballs after they die? Caitlin Doughty is a mortician and has written a book filled with crazy questions that she has been asked from kids all around the world. This was amazing as I always knew that kids had amazing imaginations and were curious creatures and this book has proved it.  Death is something that we all know is certain though of course with technology who knows what could happen in the future. If you are looking for a book that will have you laughing out loud as the writing of Caitlin Doughty is hilarious and humorous but in a way that it comes out as a matter of fact and purely logical. This book also contains a lot of facts that I wasn't aware of and comes with a few historical events, so the children or anyone older like myself can learn things as well as read a book that will make you laugh and be taught something in the process. Something that really stuck out to me and I ended up googling it was the BodyWorks Exhibition where people have donated their bodies and now their bodies are on display doing things like playing soccer or scuba diving. Couldn't do an activity in life, now you can donate your body to the exhibition and do it in death. According to the book, at the end of the exhibition - people can sign-up to donate their bodies after death and they received millions of sign-ups. I think I would rather be having fun in death than having my ashes sitting in a box on someone's mantlepiece or being stuck in a box in the ground.  You can also follow the author Caitlin Doughty on Instagram which is what I did as soon as I finished this book. Her Instagram handle is @thegooddeath. This is the perfect book to gift your child or teen if they have started to ask questions about Death and the afterlife.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
