The Missing Princess of Celestia is a great coming-of-age YA fantasy book filled with adventure, love, sacrifice, heartache, and more. The book leaves you hooked and asking questions in just the first few chapters. It begs you to read more to discover what happens to these kids and whether or not the main character decides to save her birth planet.

I love to read memoirs of comedians. Tina Fey did not disappoint, though be ready for her comedic styling throughout the book. It seems almost like she is moving from topic to topic like someone seeing a squirrel run past. Though with her snippets/chapters being short it worked for me, as it did not seem like topics were droning on for too long. Knowing more about her behind the scenes struggle to be picked for scenes because of her look not being so easily manipulated, was interesting to say the least. She's right, we imagine she was in more scenes (probably because I loved her characters) than she really was. Her stories of Monica Lewinksy and Sarah Palin were funny to hear about! Ultimately a nice change to the novels I've been reading.

I wanted to love this one more. There were many spots in the story that I connected with, but on the flip side I was never really grabbed by this book. I think my favorite part of this book was towards the end when the main character starts writing about her family's experiences, particularly with AIDS and the things that were unspoken of at that time. I wish that the writing was more fluid, but I found myself lost sometimes in what was currently happening and what was a flashback.

VERY SHORT BOOK!

Wow! This was a one of a kind "reading" experience! I 100% recommend the audio version of this book. From the snippets of Alicia singing and playing the piano to the short poignant guest speakers at the beginning of a few chapters made the audio version stand out fantastically. Learning about how Alicia came to be in her current stage in life, the way she supports women in all the ways she can, and how she has kept her marriage and family at the forefront of her life (ahead of her career) was amazing to read about. Now, I do not care for books that go into one's political views, and she does quite a bit of that in her book (whether I agree or disagree with political views, I do not look to celebrities to influence me, I will do my own research and come to my own opinions). Though, I can't discount the fact that listening to her tell her life's truth and showcase her artistry made me look past those political moments.

Interesting read involving a Latinx fantastical world about Brujas and magic. A girl, Alejandra, must journey through a mystical world to save her family but she has to learn to find herself first. A bit cliche but overall fun read.

Really interesting to read about a magical world involving Grishas. Influenced by Russian culture, the world is created with layers of depth and complex characters.

This was one of those books that I could not seem to put down. I don't know if it was the ties to the childhood story of La Llorona or what, but the story was so intricately woven in and out of generations of women in the same bloodline suffering this curse. It was painful to hear these different women's stories of not feeling good enough or not wanting to be a mother or really not feeling like they had any choice in their lives. Watching them suffer with how to best stop their pain for them and their daughters. Bringing in the story line of the Curandera and how she helped them to reach into the power of their familial roots for strength and knowledge was simply beautiful!

This book is very funny. It is about a unicorn and a girl who have adventures together. In this particular book it talks about going to music camp and about the summer and how it went for the girl and the unicorn.
