Feb 9, 2018
This quickly became my favorite book before I ever finished it. I read more of the dark and twisted genres, but this was a beautiful story with just enough edge to keep me absorbed. It unfolds a relationship between a mother and daughter who can see into the future causing her to be an outcast when all she is trying to do is save the lives of the people she holds close to her heart.

the poems on grief are stunning, heartfelt and heartbreaking: they have real resonance & are definitely what i'll take away from reading this book (3 more)
some beautiful concepts
structural experimentation (although some elements are overused)
sweet & reassuring in places
i don't know if i've read too many poems of this style but some of the poems in this collection felt a little unoriginal or repetitive (1 more)
i should have read this book when i was younger: i feel like it would have a much larger impact on a slightly younger audience, maybe 15-17 year girls

What Love Is
This book beautifully illustrates in a way that is accessible to all readers what love really is. There are depictions of love as new parents, love as a father dancing with their child on top of a trailer home, love in the moments of a fight between parents. I bought this book for my son, his daycare, and my classroom. If you want a way to talk about how much love there is in a world that feels so destroyed right now, this is the book.

Holy hell. I made myself read this slowly because I knew how much it would hurt. I was not disappointed. Cassandra Clare did an outstanding job in tearing my heart to shreads. Thank you for the pain. I can proudly say that I cried a lot because of this book. This was a beautiful end to a magnificent series. I am glad to have been a part of Clary and her friends' journeys. Thank you again, Cassandra Clare, for giving us readers such an amazing world to disappear into.
Zuky the BookBum (15 KP) rated Slade House in Books
Mar 15, 2018
Mitchell never fails to amaze me. Slade House is gripping! I read this within 2 hours, not even putting the book down for dinner.
Combining several separate short stories to create one entirely tantalizing plot, Mitchell doesn't leave readers unsatisfied. As the book goes on we find out more about the two mysterious beings creating lifelong destruction in the equally mysterious Slade House and as we find out more, we wish we hadn't.
Creepy, thrilling and beautiful, this book is an excellent read for any horror genre lovers!

Inside out...
With beautiful illustrations and interesting subject matter, this book is a win-win with curious children. and although it is quite short, it fills a child with wonder and lets them take in what they want before progressing to more challenging reading material. The urine colour section will amuse children young and old, toilet humour at its best.
I am reviewing this book for Luann Columbo, Quarto Publishing, and NetGalley who gave me a copy of their book for an honest review.
