Zelda Pryce is the only book-related Z title I have for the Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge this year. With three in the series, I’m hoping it’s good enough to supply me for the next two years, as well. The Razor’s
Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse has been sitting on my shelf for some time, waiting for it to be picked for the Great Middle Grade Reads monthly read. It came second some time ago, which is when
Trouble with Tattle-Tails is a delightful book. I couldn’t resist it when the publishers and Netgalley offered it. I read it on my iPad, for the full effect of the colour illustrations. It also gave me a T for my

I’m very grateful to the BookShelf Gargoyle for once again giving me the opportunity to review my year in book titles. I hope this is funny enough to help you over your seasonal party excesses 🙂 You can copy and
Anthony Horowitz is a very popular kids author in the UK, and I saw a stack of his books in our library when I picked up The Boundless. I picked up this one, largely because of the plaintive message from
I’m very grateful to the BookShelf Gargoyle for once again giving me the opportunity to review my year in book titles. I hope this is funny enough to help you over your seasonal party excesses 🙂 You can copy and
Since the Tackle TBR challenge, I’ve had a slowdown in my reading rate. But there were a few books I hadn’t reviewed before that challenge started, and with the Book v Movie last week, I felt the need to catch
These both qualify for entries in The BookShelf Gargoyle’s Oddity Odyssey, for me, at any rate. They are united in their alternative realities and bickering. Lots of bickering! They both really good reads, though. Stardust, by Neil Gaiman I’m not
