Review: Our Moon Festival - Yobe Qui - September 2020


As I had a former boss who was Chinese and having watched a few movies and read a couple of books that relate to various moon festivals. When I saw this cute picture book come up, I decided to give it a read. This book was so adorable and captured the various Moon Festivals from the Chinese - Zhong Qui Jie, Vietnamese - Tết Trung Thu, and Japanese - Tsukimi. The other thing that was beautiful and colorful and captured the happiness of the families gathering was the beautiful illustrations from Christina Nel Lopez.  Each section covers the various foods and traditions from eating mooncakes to lantern lighting for each culture.
If you are wanting to do something different for your family this coming year as it seems like we are in lockdown all over again, then this could be a special celebration to not only teach your children about different holidays and celebrations but also form your tradition of togetherness in your bubbles.  Our Moon Festival is the perfect picture book read for children aged 3-6 years old and a great accompaniment film to watch is Over the Moon which is a fun and beautiful enjoyable children's film to watch on Netflix as it features the Chinese Moon Festival.

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
