Book review: Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell

 Book description:

    Shesheshen is being hunted by monster hunters, while she sleeps in a ruined manor. The hunters drive her away into a cliff where she is found by Homily. As they grow closer, Shesheshen is torn between revealing her identity, and protecting Homily.

Book review:

    I knew this book was going to be weird going into it, but it was weird. I still can't decide if I liked it more than I was weirded out by it if that makes sense. I should have guessed earlier than I did that Homily's mother wasn't quite normal. I got this book from someone's weird/unhinged books recommendation video on tiktok but I don't know their username there and I don't follow them. So if you need a book that isn't typically what is recommended, go for this one.

Book review: Tristan and Lancelot: A Tale of Two Knights by James Persichetti

 Book review:

    Merlin is missing, while Camelot is under attack. King Merlin asks his sister Morgan for help. Morgan agrees to help for a price. Arthur sends two knights with her, Lancelot and Tristan. As they journey to find Merlin, Lancelot and Tristan slowly fall for one another.

Book review:

    I don't know a lot about Arthurian legends because I never really read them but I don't know if I had read them they would have changed how I felt about this book. This book was good but I felt like this book needed you know a bit more about the original legends. The art was cool but a bit different from what I'm used to.

Book review: The First State of Being by Erin Entrada Kelly

 Book description:

    Michael's life is normal except that Y2K is months away. One day he and his babysitter, Gibby, meet a boy from the future named Ridge. Ridge can't say anything about the future even though he has information in his pocket. Michael, Gibby, and Ridge try to get Ridge back home where he belongs without changing anything about the future.

Book review:

    This book was good and I can see why it won the Newbery award. I always wondered if people actually were worried about Y2K and had to ask my mom because I was born not that long after Y2K. There were a couple times where it was predictable but it didn't stop me from enjoying this book. Great book for kids and adults who want to get into sci-fi and time travel.

Book review: Brownstone by Samuel Teer

Book description:

    Almudena has always wondered about her dad. When her mom goes on a trip over the summer, she goes to visit her dad for the summer. As they repair her dad's broken down brownstone, work through a language barrier, they grow closer.

Book review:

    This book shows that kids don't automatically know their culture, and where they come from, and it is up to parents to teach their kids. There is also the aspect that the kid also wants to know and should be able to ask questions. No family is perfect and kids don't have to have perfect, they just need to be loved no matter what. This books art is beautiful and I enjoyed the story. I will be recommending this book.
