Nice book

Good

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.

This book sang to me in more ways than one! The tempo of the audio version was as if you were at a slam poetry reading! A family from traditional Latin values, putting emphasis on God and good grades but diminishing the talent of their daughter who writes poetry. The drastic measures that the mom takes to steer X away from poetry was heart wrenching to me. Though in the end the way the daughter is able to bring her family to truly see her talent is endearing. Again, LOVED the audio version of this book!

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 read this book ahead of the movie coming out to streaming platforms. This book was made even better by Mark Bramhall's narration. The story of how these boys, who came from simple working families, pushed through all skepticism and doubts pushing their way to the 1936 Berlin Olympics. At a time when many rowing teams were sons of lawyers, doctors and senators, these boys were not the ones with the training facilities and high caliber schools at their disposal. They rose above and worked extra jobs during summers to afford to enroll in school each year to be able to get another shot at being part of something even bigger than they even realized at the time. Please be sure to read through the epilogue as well. It gives you a deeper understanding of the time period and how poignant this particular Olympics was.

This book teaches us about how we should be brave at a certain time. Owly and Wormy are 2 best friends who go on adventures and make new friends. Some of the friends they make are scared o Owly because owls usually eat those animals. But when Owly helps those animals they became his friends.

Dink and Josh are best friends. They got help from one of their friends Ruth Rose to find a famous author, Wallice Wallace. Wallice Wallace has been kidnapped. They were detectives to find him

This seemed like a pretty straightforward thriller, but surprisingly the killer wasn't who I thought it would be. The pseudo-romance in the story was awkward for me. I guess it was because the guy was so over the top about being with her and having her stay. I would have preferred a more dominant male character. The townspeople were all a little quirky in their own ways too. I didn't notice the constant references to the amount of times a "beer" was brought up in the text until it was brought to my attention. At that point it became laughable.
