Review: The Rebel Girls Handbook - Rebel Girls - October 2022

Another installment in the amazing series is the Rebel Girls, this is the series that I wish had been around when I was a child. I would have had stronger role models and ended up on a different path in life had it been for books like this.  Instead, when I was younger it wasn't a thing and I was the type of girl who ended up with a bedroom wall covered in posters of musicians and celebrities. It's only now in my thirties that I look back and imagine how my life could have been different if I had role models that were inspirational females. We always heard that females could do anything, but it wasn't pushed or shown as much as it is these days with #bossbabes and #girlbosses and Rebel Girls. The Rebel Girls Handbook Features Rebel Girls
from all over the world from every country imaginable in New Zealand we have Nancy Wake and Helen Clark and Dr. Siouxsie Wiles. The book includes over 300+ profiles of famous females from every generation and all walks of life/careers that have been spotlighted at one point of time in their book series. Each person comes with some fun facts like Florence Nightingale having a pet owl or the weightlifter Athena Urrutia was the inspiration behind the Encanto star Luisa. Also included are activities like how to make Invisible Ink or how to decode your codes just like Nancy Wake did in WW2 which earned her the nickname The White Mouse. 

The Rebel Girls Handbook also includes QR codes that unlock the Rebel Girls App and hosts audiobooks and podcasts relating to the Rebel Girl profiled. The series is perfect for girls aged 10-15 years old.

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
