Book Review Far From Agrabah

I received this free book for review from Disney Books in exchange for an honest review. I was not told what to say, I was not paid to write this review and all the opinions expressed are my own.  This giveaway was also sponsored by Disney Books. Thank you! I thought Far From Agrabah was ... Read More »

Book Review: Star Wars Stormtroopers: Beyond the Armor by Ryder Windham

December 8, 2017 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 6 Comments

Book Review Star Wars Stormtroopers Ryder Windham Adam Bray

I wasn't sure what Star Wars Stormtroopers: Beyond the Armor was about.  How could you write an entire book about stormtroopers?  Stormtroopers act robotic like droids except I would argue that droids have more personality.  So I was surprised to find that this book is more of a history about the making of Star Wars ...

Book Review: A Frozen Heart by Elizabeth Rudnick

Book Review: A Dog’s Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron

Book Review A Dog's Purpose W Bruce Cameron

A Dog's Purpose is told from the dog's perspective which can be tricky but I think W. Bruce Cameron pulled it off.  I found the dog's voice cheesy at first, but as I got used to the style it quickly stopped bothering me.  The voice also got better as the dog grew up and it became ... Read More »

Book Review: Geekerella by Ashley Poston

April 21, 2017 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Book Review Geekerella Ashley Poston

Fandom meets Cinderella with a Gilmore Girls-level of nerd culture references, Geekerella was witty, charming and funny.  There were references to Lord of the Rings, The Little Mermaid, Firefly, Star Trek, Star Wars and yes, even Gilmore Girls.  Every reference was a fun little surprise.  The author gets all the nerd points I can bestow ...
