Book Review: Harry Potter Page to Screen by Bob McCabe

May 8, 2019 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

Book Review Harry Potter Page to Screen Bob McCabe

Harry Potter Page to Screen was like reading a yearbook of your time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's sentimental, full of great stories to reminisce about and there are lots or gorgeous pictures. There's actually quite a bit of text even though it looks like mostly pictures. It tells ...

Book Review: The Last Jedi by Jason Fry

April 27, 2019 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

I'm a big fan of the Star Wars movie novelizations. Even when they aren't expanded, like The Last Jedi is, I always get something out of it that I missed in the movie like expanded motivations and insights. But this had whole new scenes which made it so much fun to read. I ... Read More »

They learn how to talk to a ... Read More »

Book Review: Winter by Marissa Meyer

February 28, 2019 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Book Review Winter Marissa Meyer Lunar Chronicles

Winter ended up being my favorite book in the whole series. Snow White is probably the hardest fairy tale character to connect to. She's perfect and helpless. Winter spends a lot of time dusting, sweeping, cleaning rugs, organizing and washing laundry like Snow White does (but no forest animals in this version). But Winter pays ... Read More »

Book Review: Cress by Marissa Meyer

February 11, 2019 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

Book Review Cress Marissa Meyer

I liked Cress much better than Cinder or Scarlet. In fact, it took me a few years to even finish the series because I didn't like Scarlet very much. I'm so glad I didn't quit the Lunar Chronicles series! My favorite thing about this series has been the subtle tie-ins to the fairy tales. In ... Read More »
