I Think My Guardian Angel Drinks by Vikki Jensen Claflin is a humorous take on senior life and living.  The tips may come in handy, if not they'll at least make you laugh.  The quick stories are entertaining and fun.  You're not even close to 60?  It'll still give you a laugh and a peek into what awaits you down the road of life.  I enjoyed reading I Think My Guardian Angel Drinks.  This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Grace Foley is a seventeen-year-old prankster and risk-taker. The only thing she's afraid of is losing. One night she accepts a challenge as part of a feud between the two local schools, but things don't go as planned. Something she can't explain happens and now she's haunted by voices and visions. She's drawn into a twenty-year-old mystery surrounding a missing girl named Hannah Holt, and she's having trouble figuring out what's real and what's imagined. Grace is losing herself and she doesn't know if she's uncovering the truth or if she's going mad.

I don't know what made me request this book. Reading the blurb now it doesn't interest me at all. I found this book extremely hard to get in to. The writing was disjointed, it was hard to follow along. I did not like any of the characters. I just don't care. DNF @ 43%.

Thank you to Netgalley and Text Publishing for a copy of this book.

For all of those kids who love fantasy creatures and wish they were real (my kids included) this is the book for you. Gorgeous illustrations and a fun tale to follow along with. Also a reminder to those with pets that they should be cherished even if they aren't the fantasy ones we wish were real. Great childrens book!!! I received a copy in exchange for an honest review via Librarything early reviewers.

Hamster, gryphons, unicorns, mermaids, oh my! What pet will this girl pick?
