Review: 10 out of 10 - Book #2 Miley the Monkey Series - Merlot G. Hopkins - March 2021 Going through my review list, sometimes I want a quick read. Something to hit the spot and also wanting to clear my devices. So, a picture book it was. Going in blind, I didn't know what Miley the Monkey was up to and assumed it might have been a counting book with the subtitle of 10 out of 10. This book is a cute baking story featuring Miley and his sibling and their grandmother. As we can see Miley is a bit of a cheeky hyperactive monkey and the other sibling a bit more reserved, but Miley still wants to help. The story has them baking banana (of course) cupcakes and going through the ingredients together and the final product is cupcakes rated 10 out of 10.  This book also includes the full recipe for Banana cupcakes at the back of the book, so they can be made after reading the story. This book is perfect for ages 3-6 years old. Amazon: https://amzn.to/3ijKgb2

Pearl Etta Riggs just buried her husband of a million years (no, not literally, but it felt that way sometimes), and her dear friends are trying to find a way to cheer her up. So, they meet for coffee and cheesecake at their favorite place, the Cheesy Cream Café. Ah, the taste of childhood. Ethel spots the story of a local bank robbery in the paper, and pitches solving it as “it will give us something to do.” She begs, she pleads, and she… Flirts with the waiter? Alma, always the level-headed one, cites the fact that the man may be one of those panty-sniffing rapists for the reason they shouldn’t. Consider that she was raised by a Southern Baptist preacher and always naysays; her friends rarely listen to her sage advice. ...
