Book Pets

Do you have any pets?  I have a cat in real life, and I know if you have a furbaby you loves yours just as much as I love mine. But what about our literary pets? Don't they deserve some love too? That is why I am making a literary pet appreciation post! Feel free to add on to this list in the comments and show all of our pets some love. Firstly, I want to include Church the cat from the Mortal Instruments series and the Infernal Devices because where would any of us be without him?  Fang the dog from Harry Potter deserves to be mentioned also even if he is more of a scaredy cat. The horse Gifford from My Lady Jane is of worthy notice, if you have read the book then this nomination makes sense, if not then go read the book. 😆 And who can forget about Buttercup from the Hunger Games ?  Well, obviously the author because he doesn't show up again until the end. I know this is a very short list but I can hardly think of any pets in books! This ...

Alexander Hamilton Graphic Novel

Image
The graphic history of an American Founding Father by Jonathan Hennessey and art by Justin Greenwood Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* I love graphic novels but I’m not a huge fan of history. My logic in requesting this book from the website Blogging for Books, was that maybe my love for graphic novels could help me start to love history as well. The problem with that is that I just think history is boring, so I don’t think I will ever be cured of my disinterest in the subject. I didn’t quite enjoy this book because of the way it presented information, sometimes it felt like I was reading bits and pieces of a history textbook. The art was alright but I wanted a little more detail in the scenes. I think this book would be great for anyone who loves history and is interested in the life of Alexander Hamilton. This book would also be great for fans of the Broadway musical Hamilton. I’m sure others love it but this just wasn’t my cup of tea. There is no origin...

Aaru by David Meredith

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* Aaru is truly an awesome gem of a book! I went into this book not knowing much but was very intrigued by the premise. I was a little apprehensive at first because I didn’t really know if I would love it or not, but my fears were unfounded! Reading this book was such a pleasure and it is one of those that really makes you think without being overly philosophical and boring. The only problem I had throughout the entirety of this book was that some of the language was really big words I had no idea what they meant, but that gave me the opportunity to learn some new vocabulary. I really liked the topic exploration of death, and how our world and lives would change if technology were to evolve enough to actually store our souls. I haven’t ever read a book like this, and I admire its uniqueness. There were some parts here and there that I could predict certain outcomes, but it didn’t take away from the story. Koren and Rose were so relat...

Announcement!

Hey guys! I just wanted to apologize for not sticking to my usual posting schedule. School has recently started back and I find I'm having trouble with posting so much within a week. So, I have decided, that during the school season I will post once a week on Mondays. I have a very busy schedule this year, but I promise I will post! Manic Mondays will be posted the first Monday of every month, so you will have a post at the beginning of every month to look forward to! 😆 Since my posting won't be as frequent, now would be a great time to subscribe to my blog so that you get notified when I post! 😉 I will probably go back to my original schedule when summer comes back around. But in the meantime... I have a project in the works to share with you all soon, and a new book review on an AMAZING book I was sent for review! So stay tuned for more awesome content! Thank you for understanding and being supportive of this blog! I love you all and hope you stick wit...

Book Name!

Today I figured I would spell my name in books. If you would like to do this, then I encourage you to do so, and let me know so I can see it! I did not make this idea up, and I think there is a tag that goes along with this, but I don’t know what it is. So, my name is Madison, and I will be finding some of my favorite books that start with each letter of my name. (Some of them I won’t have a review on, due to reading BB. Before blog.) M – Made you up by Francesca Zappia  Amazon image I really love mental health books and this one is just written impeccably! A – Armada by Ernest Cline   Wiki image You know I had to include this one! It is now one of my all-time fav’s! Check out my review here .
