Pandamonia by Chris Owen and Chris Nixon Summary: When visiting the zoo, whatever you do, DON’T WAKE THE PANDA! Join in the fantastic fun as one grumpy panda sets off a frenzy of wild partying. Review: WhaleSnark here! What caused me to pick this book up in the first place was the colors on the cover. You just cannot go wrong with greens, yellows, and blues for catching a reader's eye! This is a picture book, but it has some absolutely intense and hilarious rhyming and tongue-twisters in it! Here's a sample: "The chimps chit-chatter. The ducks start quacking. The jabirus jabber and yaks start yakking So waking the panda might spark off a riot, and that's why we like to keep things nice and quiet." There are some animals in this book that I had not even heard of before I read it, and I'm REALLY into knowing all about animals! The art is vibrant and very pleasing to look at. It features wood block prints of animals that are not us
Yeah, I'm in a reading slump....but I'm gonna share with you ways I've been trying to get out of it! When you are in a reading slump, it can seem impossible to get out of it. You're too busy at work to really get into a book when you get home, or chores get in the way. In my case, I almost feel as if reading is somehow lazier than anything else because I'm sitting down, not moving and just focused on the book. Why this translates to laziness to me is still not clear, because I also watch a lot of television. I'm trying to change the way I think about reading. Our world is so quickly moving, it can be hard to stop and concentrate on just a book. That I think, is the root of the problem I am having. Here are some tips I am working to use for myself to become a more involved reader again. Read one book at a time I have several books going at once (don't do this). If you can't concentrate one book, don't fall into the trap of starting another
Y'all, most of you know I live in Minnesota, land of ice and snow for seven months out of the year. Which means winter is a way of life. A cold, gross, dirty, dangerous way of life. To get myself through the frozen hellscape, I rely heavily on books! Portable magic that means I never have to leave my warm apartment. Up next in my queue is... The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy - Julia Quinn One of my long-term goals is to read everything JQ has ever written (because she is a goddess!) and so when this audiobook came on as available on Libby, I snapped it up. It's book 4 in the Smith-Smythe quartet. Bridgerton fans will recognize these characters from the disastrous musicales that are brought up in every book. Also girl, jewelry on the outside of your glove? So fancy. Get you some. Crisis in the Red Zone - Richard Preston Yesssss! Our Lord of Perpetual Ebola Writings has returned with his updated take on the world's Ebola crisis! (Is it weird of
