 Bunster, an Easter Story

Review: Bunster - An Easter Story - Christine Hwang Panzer - March 2021


I was in two minds about Bunster as it looked adorable and sounded cute. This book is aimed at the younger audience as it comes normally in a board book format which is babies/toddlers that 0-4 years range. We have our Bunny aka Bunster who is going on an Easter Egg hunt and has been collecting the eggs around the farm. The eggs hatch at the end and turn into cute little ducklings. As with most board books, the story is very simple and a quick 30 second to 1 minute read. The reason I was in two minds was that it didn't have an Eastery feel to me and felt more like a Beatrix Potter-style farm tale and could have been read at any time as the Easter theme wasn't very strong. The other thing that put me off the book and I wouldn't have in my previous job as someone who ran preschool and toddler time visits used the book was the font. Like her name on the front cover, this book is written in a fancy script which makes it hard for the reader to read and concentrate and it isn't normally a font I would pair with a babies/children's book. It is more wedding/birthday invitation or elegant party font, not a book font. Overall, this is a cute animal story with the bunnies/ducks and little ones will enjoy just the fact that they are being read too.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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
