Reading is my ESCAPE from Reality!

It was a lovely funeral for Fluffy, the best pet I ever had. - Opening sentence Avoid spoiling your pet with too many treats; however, spoiling yourself is all well and good. - Chapter 4 Be firm with your pet and make it clear what is acceptable behavior. Both you and your pet will be happier fo...

I really wish there were more women in this book. And sometimes I found the basketball writing hard to understand (it's just not always super clear what's happening on the court). Other than that I enjoyed this book a lot. It ties in nicely to the series despite the main character not being a Young....

This book is not related to any of the others in the Golden Mountain Chronicles as far as I can tell (and I've reread them all within the last two years or so... most of them this month). So don't go into this expecting a story revisiting any previous characters or storylines. Parts of the book re...

I'm falling behind on my reviews. I'll try and catch up before the month is over. I've slowly been reading Yep's Golden Mountain Chronicles this month. I don't think I've ever read them in chronological order. It was fine for the first four because they were written sequentially. Dragonwings has a...

I definitely didn't feel like reading about a race riot tonight, so I ended up skimming the last 100 pages. It gets intense from what I could see. There are so many men in these books, and they're getting bleaker as they go on. There are also so many matter-of-fact descriptions of death/murder in ...

Lubię książki dla dzieci. Przeważnie mogę w nich znaleźć wiele elementów fantastycznych, które nie są straszne, ale i tak rozbudzają niesamowicie wyobraźnię. "Poradnik dla smoków. Żywienie i wychowanie ludzi" był krótką, ale ciekawą lekturą. Smoczyca - panna Drake - była bardziej ludzka niż smocz...

I don't remember particularly enjoying this book the first time I read it and I didn't particularly enjoy it this time either. It has the strongest language of any of the Golden Mountain Chronicles that I can remember in terms of pure cursing. I'm sure others are worse for racial slurs, etc (there i...

This is a cute mg fantasy from the point of view of a dragon who considers a family of humans her pets. It’s fine, although I found the ending a little too quick and unconvincing.

A cute and charming little book in which, upon far too careful examination, the characters' relationship is moved along too quickly.* Still, when taken for what it is, it is a fun and fast read, probably best enjoyed with a young one.Personally, the title should be something different, considering w...

This is one of the better MG mixed kid books I've read (in that the plot doesn't entirely revolve around the mixed kid protag coming to terms with her racial identity). The story escalates very quickly and by far the best parts for me were when Casey and Paw Paw (Tai Paw in this story) were back in ...
