Wed Wabbit

Title: Wed Wabbit

Author: Lissa Evans

Publisher: Scholastic

Genre: Fantasy, Middle Grade, Adventure

Source: Library

My Review:

Wed Wabbit by Lissa Evans is our book club pick for this month. Judging the book by the cover, I would have thought I wouldn't like it. I'm not much of a fantasy or middle-grade reader. However, I was told it was similar to The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, which I enjoyed.

Stacking the Shelves #172 Sunday Post #169, Sunday Salon #163

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? I am STILL sick, my guess is we had C*vid, which is my first time. I am slowly improving, but still coughing and congested. We have another open house on Sunday, hopefully something will come from it. Other than that, not much on the radar this weekend.

The Atlas of Untold Stories

Title: The Atlas of Untold Stories

Author: Sara Brunsvold

Publisher: Revell

Genre: Christian Fiction, Books about books

Source: Publisher/Author

My Review:

The Atlas of Untold Stories is not the easiest read because it deals with family dynamics. Family is messy and hard. But it can also be beautiful, despite its complexities. That is this story: messy and beautiful.
