Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Biting Bad (Chicagoland Vampires, #8) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

Eight books in and it still keeps me entertained. I laughed, I grumbled; I enjoyed it.

I'll admit it's probably been a good few months since I read the last book in the series but I caught on again pretty quick and we meet some old friends and enemies and go on a ride through the streets of Chicago.

I love Ethan and Merit as a couple and i'm thinking maybe he'll pop the question in the next book.

Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Rosie the Tarantula: A True Adventure in Chicago’s Field Museum in Books

Jun 14, 2018

Rosie the Tarantula: A True Adventure in Chicago’s Field Museum by Peggy Macnamara is a cute picture book. It is a story about a pink footed tarantula, Rosie, who lives at the Chicago field museum. One day in 2011 she escaped from her room. She didn’t appear until 2012. This book imagines the adventure she might have had. It is also used to describe what can be found at the field museum. Plus there are lots of notes at the end about the real rosie, and other animals mentioned in the book. I will say the rhymes are hard and do not flow well, but for this book I don't think it is needed. I applaud the author for getting the words to rhyme in the first place. And while this book is about a Chicago based institution, lots of kids will love its story and colorful illustrations.

I received an ARC from Northwestern University Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I give the book 4/5 stars.
