Review: Our Lunar New Year - Yobe Qiu - June 2020


Earlier this year I read and reviewed for another book tour - Our Moon Festival by Yobe Qiu and found it fascinating. When I saw Yobe had written a new one, I wanted to read it. I have to admit though that the cover of this book is a bit of an eye-sore compared to Our Moon Festival as the reds were a bit too vibrant. Other than that, the illustrations are similar to our Moon Festival. In Our Lunar New Year, we will read how a variety of Asian cultures celebrate their New Year. In each Asian culture except for Indian which is a variety of colors with their Diwali New Year festival, most use the color red predominantly. During the new year celebrations, they give each other monetary gifts often in red envelopes which symbolize good luck for the rest of the year. It is also a time for families to get together and celebrate the past year that has been and to prepare for the new year ahead. Unlike the Western ways of celebrating New Year, the Asian cultures are filled with family togetherness and connection, and meaningfulness. Our Lunar New Year features the following cultures - Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Indian, and Thai.  Our Lunar New Year is the perfect read for children aged 4-7 years old and great for teaching them about different traditions and other cultures' holidays and celebrations.

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: 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
