Review: Let's Talk - Learning to Bowl - Lisa Jacovsky - August 2022

As someone whose life used to revolve around children's books, I am passionate about kids reading and the amazing books available these days. Something that I have participated in every year for several years now is Multicultural Children's Book Day where we are provided with a children's book from somewhere around the world with a theme/ experience etc to read and review. This year's book was called Let's Talk - Learning to Bowl by Lisa Jacovsky and I assumed I was matched with this one as one of the main characters Emma has autism which is a genetic disability prominent in my family line as I have had/ have family members, relatives with autism and I am sure I have some traits of it myself. This was a fun book about learning not only bowling but also working with someone with autism - behaviors and flash cards. Unfortunately what didn't sit right with me was the COVID angle which I know was a big thing with mask-wearing and in some places it still is but over in NZ. I personally don't believe in mask wearing as I saw people wearing masks and it didn't stop them from getting covid or sick. I didn't like wearing one as I felt I couldn't breathe and at times got really bad migraines from mask-wearing myself and my partner got a mask exemption. Overall, if you don't mind the Covid angle then I would suggest giving this a read, but if it does bother you then sadly give this one a miss as it might leave you feeling a tad unsettled like myself.

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...
