September 2015 Wrap Up

So apparently Fall is officially upon us, but you wouldn't know that where I live.  It is still consistently over 90 degrees out.  The leaves aren't changing and they aren't falling to the ground.  Pumpkin Spice is out in full force here just like every where else, but I wish I could wear a sweater or a scarf to go along with drinking it up.  Also, not needing to have it solely in iced form would be nice too.

I am looking forward to October as it is my little bugs very first Halloween!  I am also very much in the mood to read some frightening stories.  Maybe the weather will cool off a bit, but I am not holding my breath about that.  With my luck we will still be at least the high 80's until sometime in November.

Well, September came and went pretty quickly!  I didn't get nearly as many books read as I would have liked to, but I did get a good few in.  6 in total!

Explore Your Creative Side (#2)

Welcome to the second installment of Explore Your Creative Side!  This month features an adult coloring book, a book on how to crochet hats and baby booties, and a book on how to do your own nail art designs!

I hope you find something you like and that helps you find your creative side.  Remember this feature is posted every month on the 29th!


Adult Coloring Book


Title: Owls Coloring Book
Author: Marjorie Sarnat
Series: Creative Haven Coloring Books
Publisher: Dover Publications
Publication Date: July 15, 2015
Source: Purchased
Rating: 5 stars

You don't have to be a huge fan of owls to enjoy this coloring book. You will find that there are 31 different highly detailed owl designs to get lost in.  Some of the designs have more detail than others, but each one is unique in its own special way.  No two designs are any where close to being the same.

Each design takes up the page and is single sided.  Being single sided is fantastic if you are a fan of coloring with marker.  The paper does seem to have some thickness to it, but to be on the safe side I would recommend placing a separate sheet between the designs in case markers decide to bleed through.  That way the design on the following page will not get ruined.

What is also really nice about this coloring book is that each page is perforated.  This will allow you to remove any design you wish with ease.  This feature will allow you to display your work once you have completed it without the worry of ruining it.  

This adult coloring book is sure to give hours of enjoyment.

Crochet


Title: Baby Crochet Design: Hats and Boots
Author: Graziana Materassi
Series: Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace
Publisher: Dover Publication
Publication Date: October 21, 2015
Source: Netgalley
Rating: 5 stars

The designs in this book are beyond cute!  There were designs for animals, bugs, flowers, and fruits.  Each design was cuter than the next!  I especially liked the Bumble Bee and the Pineapple designs.

What makes this book even better is it is not just for hats.  There are also designs for booties!  They are all absolutely adorable, but I really liked the strawberry ones!

The book also teaches you how to make little details such as flowers, eyes, and creatures.  This is great because you can then take these patterns and apply them to other projects.  You could add a few lady bugs to a blanket to give it that something more if you want.  Really the possibilities are endless with this.

The title does have the word baby in it, but there is a place in the book where it tells you how to make the hats for other ages as well.  This makes the book very versatile.  You can make hats for babies, toddlers, kids, and even adults.

The directions are easy to follow.  However, if you are just starting with crocheting it may take you a little longer to pick them up. 

You get a lot with this book.  Don't pass it up!

Title: Spectacular Nail Art: A Step-by-Step Guide to 35 Gorgeous Designs
Author: Larit Levy
Series: Stand Alone
Publisher: Imagine
Publication Date: September 2, 2014
Source: Netgalley
Rating: 5 Stars

I don't know about you, but I tend to look at nail art designs on Pinterest.  However, that is all I tend to do is just look and wish I could do them.  I am rather jealous of those that can.

This book teaches you how to do 35 different designs.  And all of them are fantastic.  What is even better, is that I am sure that you can take some of the techniques that this book teaches you for one design and apply them to make one that isn't even in the book!  This makes your nail art options practically endless!

I really like how each design is set up with easy to follow steps.  Then each step has a picture with it so you know what that step is supposed to look like.  That is so much easier to follow than written word alone when you are trying to duplicate some form of technique.  Each design also comes with a photo of what the completed design should look like.

Super easy to follow with great directions.  This is one for anyone who likes to do something to snazzy to their nails, even if it is only once in a while!

This review is based on an eARC provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Blitz Alert! Entropy by Robert Raker



Book Title: Entropy 
Book Genre: Crime, drama  
Author: Robert Raker
Publisher: Wattle Publishing




When a series of child abductions and murders disrupt the life of an economically blighted community, the consequences have far-reaching implications. The brutal crimes take a different toll on a disparate group of individuals; the scuba diver who retrieves the children’s bodies; the disfigured cellist who thinks he knows who’s responsible; the undercover federal agent; and the mother of one of the victim’s. United in a situation not of their choosing, they are forced to take a deep, introspective look into their intersected, yet isolated lives.
Entropy, an elegiac crime novel whose climax reveals its bleakly beautiful pattern.
Two or three short excerpts (around 250 words and PG 13 or below please)
The Diver
The bloated, distended corpses of the people whose shortened lives I had retrieved from the water were clearly visible in the immature patterns of condensation that evaporated gradually on the mirror.
The Musician
I just sat there. Looking closely at the gun, I cocked the trigger back and forth repeatedly, like a curious child studying the physics of a toy, wanting to grasp the technical aspects of it, what made certain parts of it function and react the way that it did when it was used.
The Agent
I glanced up at the cracked face of the clock above her dresser. She would be leaving for the lawyer’s office soon. After that I would need to catch the next bus to the terminus.
The Model
How did we get here?
We were once such a happy family but now I am left alone with only my memories as a comfort to the love we once shared and the child we had borne.

Dessert & Booze Hacks by Peggy Wang


Title: Dessert & Booze Hacks
Author: Peggy Wang
Series: Stand Alone
Publisher: Clarkson Potter
Publication Date: August 18, 2015
Source: Blogging for Books

At first glance this book is a tiny little thing and consists of cardboard like paper.  Don't let that trick you though.  This book is full of goodies to create!

Most of the book is actually dessert recipes (or hacks), but there is a nice handful of booze ones towards the end.  There are 75 different things for you to try out in total, and the most fantastic thing about all of it is that they are incredibly easy!

And when I say incredibly easy, you should know that I mean they are easy easy easy!  I don't really know how to cook or bake or anything like that, but the concoctions that are in this book don't scare me at all.  I am pretty sure I can handle them and not have to have someone around for support and assistance.

A few of the hacks in here I had heard of before such as putting a chocolate chip into a raspberry or taking nutella and bananas to make "ice cream).  However, there are quite a few I hadn't heard of yet that I am super excited to try: a frozen S'more is the first one that comes to mind!

What I do wish this book had was pictures.  Most of the items don't actually have a photo to go with them.  Though pictures are just a personal preference of mine.  I like knowing if what I made came out looking even remotely like it should have.

This is one that would make a great gift for the friend that is always busy or isn't that comfortable in the kitchen.  Though don't hesitate to buy this one for yourself.  You won't regret it!

My Rating
5 Stars!

Ten Things Sloane Hates About Tru by Tera Lynn Childs


Title: Then Things Sloane Hates About True
Author: Tera Lynn Childs
Series: Creative HeArts #1
Publisher: Entangled Crush
Publication Date: September 10, 2015
Source: Netgalley

I had a rather weird reaction to this book.  One that I was not expecting at all.  While I was reading it I kept wanting to create art.  I just wanted to pull out a pencil and draw.  I wanted to take paint and splatter it against a canvas.  I just wanted to CREATE something.  So be warned.  This could very likely happen to you too.  I know it is a strange side effect to reading a contemporary young adult romance novel, but it happened.

At the beginning of this book, Sloane has just moved from New York to Texas against her will.  She messed up something fierce back home and as part of her punishment, her parents decided that she would move with her Mom to a whole different place.  They wanted to get her away from what they considered the bad influences and change her environment.

Sloane of course hates this change.  She is mad at her parents and at herself.  She has forced her family to live in two different states.  Her brother and dad are back in New York and she hates that she is the reason her mom had to leave them.  She also hates that they no longer trust her after The Incident (as she refers to it).

While Sloane has to change schools, she still gets to go to a very fancy art school just like she did up in New York.  She loves graphic design and actually has her own web comic.  Only one person knows she is the creator of Graphic Grrl and she wants to keep it that way.  She doesn't want others to know it is her art, just people reading it and loving it is enough praise for her.  She doesn't need the credit for it.

She is determined to get back to New York as quickly as possible and make her family whole again.  She has a deal with her mom that as long as she doesn't mess up for the whole first quarter of the school year that they can go back home.  She figures that sounds easy enough.  Then she meets Tru.

Tru is the boy next door.  The trouble making son of her moms best friend from college.  According to his parents and his mom he can't do anything right.  He drinks, skips school, and is an all around screw up.

And Tru is determined to get close to Sloane.

This book was so darn cute! It was very light and fluffy, but it did have some dark undertones to it. In this book these darker undertones are only just starting to be touched upon, but I think (and hope) they will be touched upon in future books.

I really enjoyed the characters.  This novel was mostly narrated by Sloane, but occasionally Tru popped up and narrated a bit for us.  I wanted more narration from Tru.  Actually, I just wanted more Tru in general.  His character is so much deeper than we really got to see.  His character is something I am really looking forward to learning more about as the series progresses.

Really, I wouldn't mind a book where he is the main narrator.  I think he has quite a lot to tell us.  Maybe Tera Lynn Childs will make this happen for us in the future (I can wish right?)

Like I said earlier, this one is pretty light and fluffy.  It is a great introduction to the characters and the world they live in.  It is also a pretty quick, but very enjoyable read.

My Rating
5 stars!!!

Treat: 50 Recipes for No-Bake Marshmallow Treats by Stephanie Banyas


Title: Treat: 50 Recipes for No-Bake Marshmallow Treats
Author: Stephanie Banyas
Series: Stand Alone
Publisher: Clarkson Potter
Publication Date: August 11, 2015
Source: Blogging For Books

You have no idea how excited I was to get this book.  I love Rice Crispy treats the normal way so I was totally up for adding things to change them up and shock my taste buds.  I am pretty sure some sort of "squee" noise came out of my mouth when it finally arrived.

This book does not disappoint!  It has 50 marshmallow treat recipes and each one looks delicious.  However, there is one that doesn't have marshmallows involved.  It is the second to last treat in the book.  I guess they just had to sneaky that little salty sweet snack in!

I also really like that this book teaches me how to make my own marshmallows.  There are a few different flavors, so if a recipe calls for a specific flavor of marshmallow you can make your own! There is no need to worry if you aren't able to locate strawberry marshmallows in the store.  I personally am not quite this adventurous is my treat making adventures yet, but maybe some day I will try my hand at making some.

Some of the treats in this book really take me back.  For example, there is a recipe for making Puppy Chow Pretzel Treats.  I loved loved loved Chex Mix Puppy Chow as a kid (oh who am I kidding I still do!).  This particular recipe will be one of the first ones I try making.  Others that I am very interested in trying have to do with strawberry marshmallows and so yummy!

The one thing I really wish that this book had is pictures for all of the different treats.  It does have a lot, and the ones that do have them all look very delicious.  I just happen to be one of those people who really likes having their recipe books filled with photos.  I like being able to compare my completed food item with the picture to see if it came out even remotely correct (I am not a very good cook at all).

This is most definitely a book that those who love making treats should get.  If they don't like buying things for themselves, buy it for them.  Maybe they will reward you with something really really yummy.

5 stars!

Once Upon A Zombie by Billy Phillips with Giveaway!


Title: Once Upon a Zombie: The Color of Fear
Author: Billy Phillips and Jenny Nissenson
Series: Once Upon a Zombie #1
Publisher: The Toon Studio Press
Publication Date: October 1, 2015
Source: Netgalley

Imagine you find yourself in a world where all of your childhood stories are real.  You get to meet your fairytale heroes: Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and so many more.  Now imagine that all of these beloved people you only thought existed in stories turn out to be zombies.  This is Once Upon a Zombie in a nutshell and it is fantastic.

Our main character, Caitlin, gets to experience just this.  There had been a bunch of sightings at some grave sites around the world of the living dead and her friend Jack talks her into going to the graveyard he thinks is going to be the next one to be visited.

They are supposed to go to the graveyard after the school dance, but thanks to some mean girls, she ends up at the graveyard alone.  Or so she thought.  Her sneaky little sister managed to follow her there despite being told to stay home.

However, that isn't the end of it.  While at the graveyard, a hand starts to come out of the grave.  Eventually an entire undead girl is standing before them.  The undead girl is looking for...you guessed it....Caitlin.

The undead girl wants Caitlin to go with her back to where she came from.  However, Caitlin is scared to go with her, and rightfully so in my opinion.  However, her way to brave for her own good little sister jumps right in.  Caitlin is then forced to follow, so that she can get her sister safely home.

What happens once she goes through the proverbial rabbit hole is a wonderfully frightening adventure.  One you are going to have to read and experience for yourself.

I am going to be honest.  While I ended up really enjoying this book, I thought the beginning was a little rough.  I am going to chock it up to creating the world and the characters.  Some of why things are the way they are aren't really explained, but they end up making sense when you get further into the story.

After I got to know the characters, I really liked them.  At first I was really iffy about Caitlin.  She is very scared of everything.  I was wondering how our heroine was supposed to get anything done if she couldn't even leave the room without counting the corners of the room.  Thankfully we get to see her grow throughout the course of the story.

However, her sister could have used a bit more growth I think.  She was very brave.  Sometimes too much so and very impulsive.  The exact opposite of Caitlin.  Then again, the poor girl was stuck in a chili pepper outfit and a yellow rain jacket for the majority of the book.  I guess you have to be brave if you are stuck with that as your only outfit.

I loved the zombie princesses.  Their personalities are very fun and each is very different from the next.  Cinderella is the ever hungry one, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White are both pretty quiet, and Rapunzel is obviously the leader.

There was one character that really kind of bugged me and that was the frog.  Almost every single time he talked he said "Amigo."  After awhile I just wanted him to be quiet and stop talking.  The word was really over used.

I also really enjoyed the take on zombies.  It did take me awhile to get used to it.  At first I was wondering why the Princesses even needed to drink water seeing as they were dead.  However, once I accepted that the zombies in this book aren't technically your traditional zombies I was able to over look this and let myself enjoy them for what they are.

By the end of the story I was completely sold.  I found myself totally enjoying all of the characters and the creativeness of it all.  I also loved the lesson that is built into this story (YES! There is a lesson!).  I will most definitely be continuing on with this story in the future.

My Rating
5 stars!

The Picture Book Wall (#2)

Hi!  Welcome back for the second installment of The Picture Book Wall!  I hope you have been having some wonderful storytimes with your littles recently.  I know I have been!

Here is this months picture book mash up.  I hope you enjoy!





Title: Pinkalicious
Author: Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann
Series: Pinkalicious
Publisher: HarperCollins
Publication Date: May 23, 2006
Source: Purchased
Rating: 3 stars

A cute little story about a girl who eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink.  There really isn't much more substance to the story than that.  She spends a lot of the time begging her parents for more cupcakes (and sneaking some) until she turns a really deep shade of pink.  She has to eat her greens to return to her normal self.

This one is a great conversation starter for why it is important to eat your veggies.





Title: Stanley at School
Author: Linda Bailey
Illustrator: Bill Slavin
Series: Stanley
Publisher: Kids Can Press
Publication Date: August 1, 2015
Source: Netgalley
Rating: 4 stars

This is a really cute one!  Stanley is curious about school.  He knows that the kids always go and he wants to know why, so he talks a few of his friends into going to school with him.  Stanley and his friends get in and discover lunch!  They then get caught by the kids and then the janitor.

The illustrations are also a lot of fun, though there are a couple of pages that are rather plain and boring.  These pages would be an up close view of something in the story, such as the stairs or the side of the principal.  These particular pages really did not add anything to the story.

There really isn't much of a lesson in this story, but it does show the different topics that the kids get to learn in school: art, music, etc.  It is a great way to talk to a kid who is about to go off to school for the first time about what they may do there.

This review is based on an eARC provided by the publisher via Netgalley.




Title: Monkeys and Crocodiles Play Baseball
Author: Angel Krishna
Illustrator: Angel Alvarez
Series: Stand Alone
Publisher: Global Publishing Group LLC
Publication Date: July 8, 2015
Source: Netgalley
Rating: 4 stars

The monkeys want to play baseball, but they realize that they can't because they don't have any coconuts.  To get a coconut they have to cross the river.  To cross the river they have to ask the crocodiles - something that they have done many times before.

However, the crocodiles have had enough.  They want to play baseball too!  So they tell the monkeys no!  They tell the monkeys that they have to let them play or they wont help them cross.

It all turns out to be a misunderstanding.  The monkeys had no idea that the crocodiles wants to play with them!  They had never asked and just thought that the crocodiles weren't interested in their game.

This fun story is all about communication.  How it is important to let others know how you feel because if you don't you wont know that they have hurt feelings or that they want to play in the game too.  It really teaches a great lesson in a fun way.

Max the Brave Blog Tour with Giveaway!!


Title: Max the Brave
Author: Ed Vere
Series: Stand Alone
Publisher: Sourcebooks Jabberwocky
Publication Date: September 8, 2015
Source: Publisher

Meet Max

Max is a fearless kitten.  Max is a brave kitten.  Max is a kitten who chases mice.  There's only one problem--Max doesn't know what a mouse looks like!  With a little bit of bad advice, Max find himself facing a much bigger challenge.  Maybe Max doesn't have to be Max the Brave all the time...

Join this adventurous black cat as he very politely asks a variety of animals for help in finding a mouse.  Young readers will delight in Max's mistakes, while adults will love the subtle, tongue-in-cheek humor of this new children's classic.

My Review/Thoughts

I really liked Max the Brave.  I thought that is was a very cute story and very well done.  Max is a little kitten who is very brave and that likes to chase mice.  There is a slight problem though.  Max has absolutely no idea what a mouse looks like!

We then follow along with Max as he asks various other animals if they are Mouse.  Unfortunately none of them are.  He eventually asks Mouse (but he has no idea he is asking him) if he has seen himself.  Of course, Mouse tells him no and gives him some bad advice that ends up scaring poor little Max!

I think that this story is great to read to a little one.  It allows you to open up a discussion with them about bravery and how it's okay to not be brave all the time.  That it is okay to be scared once in awhile.  It also features a lot of different types of animals not just Max and Mouse, allowing your littles to experience more creatures.

I also really liked the illustrations.  While they were very simple they were still done very nicely and well.  The colors are bold and there is very little extra going on on the page to distract your little one from the story.

Max the Brave is a great storytime book!
