Review: Sookie and Ivy Books

 

These two books are delightful!

They both follow the same format: pictures of the two dogs with hats on one page and a famous quote on the other side. 

These books are perfect for relaxing and sharing with friends.

Top Ten Tuesday: Reluctant Readers

 This week's post is all about reluctant readers. As a librarian, to me, that just means the reader hasn't found the right book yet. Sometimes they need help finding that perfect book just for them. There is a book for everyone.

This week I'm sharing some fun graphic novels I've read this year. Graphic novels are perfect for visual people who like to see the book in their head as they read.

Graphic Novel Review: Friends Forever

* Book 3 in the Friends series *

Shannon's in 8th grade and now has a solid group of friends. But she's still anxious and insecure. Shannon's figuring out how to be happy, how to be herself, and how to feel "normal."

My Thoughts: I adore this series - it's so thought provoking. Because Shannon goes through tough times. Middle school really is the worst. There are SO many feelings in middle school.  Friendship drama is so hard. Feeling insecure is terrible. It's hard figuring out boys. This book is heart wrenching and sad but also hopeful. I hope that this series continues through high school.

And this illustrations are amazingly good.

Cover Thoughts: Adorable

Library Recommendation: This is a must have series for your school and public libraries.
