Bruce the Spruce- A New York City Fairytale About the True Meaning of Christmas Trees

#VBT Review - Bruce the Spruce - A.A Cristi - November 2021


Bruce the Christmas Tree has always been the spiffiest and neatest tree around as he is every year worshipped and adored as he is decorated with the best of decorations and admired. For Bruce, he has never dreamed of being anything but the best Christmas tree around, and now his family is tossing him out and upgrading. This upsets Bruce as he feels like it is the end of the world and we read as Bruce gets depressed but soon, he is adopted by another family who will treasure him and in doing so Bruce the Spruce will learn the true meaning of Christmas and what it means to be loved for who you are and the connectedness of family and love. This picture book is ideal for children aged 4-8 years old and had the most gorgeous illustrations and the perfect read for the upcoming month as we are coming into the Christmas season. The other thing I loved about this book was it gave me happy memories of my own trip in New York in December 2013 as Bruce the Spruce takes a trip around New York.

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.

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...
