A cute and cheeky bedtime story!

I knew I was going to enjoy this little read as soon as I saw the cover and the little blurb. Goodnight, Monster! by Chloe Sanders is a story about Ben, who doesn’t want to go to bed, because there is a monster in his room.

A message to give people a chance

When his mother encourages Ben to make friends with the monster. There is a lovely moment here with a message to give people a chance, as they are more than what they look on the outside. I really loved this moment, and I wish more children books focused on it.

Ben says hi to the monster and makes friends, and then gets him ready for bed. He teaches Monster Bo how to brush his teeth, and have a bath, and have dinner, but the monster keeps trying to misbehave and hides Ben’s socks under the bed, and does other cute silly things, but Ben teaches him how to be a good monster.

I really loved this bedtime story. I think it has a lot of messages to teach young children – especially for them to realise that it is now time for bed. Furthermore, a couple of life lessons are secretly hidden inside this book too, that makes me really happy.

If you have little ‘’monsters’’ at home, I am sure both of you will enjoy this short bedtime story.

Staring Into the Sun is a collection of poems that focus on love. Some of them were really sweet and cute, but others were hard to figure out. It's written so that the first line is one speaker, and the second line is the second speaker, but you're not really sure which is which until about the middle of the poem. At one point, it got confusing, and I wasn't sure if the person in the poem was straight or gay, and it threw me. I liked the poems, though. They felt like casual dialogue sometimes, and other times more intense confession. Staring Into the Sun is a light fast read (there's only about 40 pages).

I love Rebecca Wells' writing and most of her stories, but this one was definitely not one of my favorites. I felt it was a bit on the goofy dramatic side, and very predictable. I enjoyed the characters, and loved the setting and all the sweet, charming southern people who lived there, but it just didn't lure me in as her other books do.

I could have done without the La Luna / Moon stuff entirely. The writing also seemed very juvenile, even as Calla grew up. It was a cute story, so I wouldn't NOT recommend it - but not that fun to read, and a bit out of Wells' character for writing style.

If you’re a nerd, this is for you! Kindred Spirits is a story about Star Wars fans, and even though Star Wars isn’t my thing, I found the story really cute and I was pulled in right from the start.

This book is worth getting just for the cover! It’s all glittery and gorgeous and you really have to see it in real life to really be able to appreciate it! Mine’s the hardback though – I’m not too sure on whether the paperback is actually glittery.

It is only a tiny book though – I did expect something a bit bigger for the price of it, but I suppose that it does only have two short stories in it.

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

I don’t know why I requested this novel. There is nothing in the description that would interest me in this novel. Honestly, I couldn’t have cared less about the story itself. It didn’t interest me at all. However, the characters were what got me. I loved them to distraction. They were overflowing with personality. Katie had strength and it was a joy to read her and Liam interact.

Overall the novel was a cute read but it is the characters that really make the story. While I wasn’t impressed with the novel as a whole, I did like the dialogue and character interactions.
  
Happy Death Day (2017)
Happy Death Day (2017)
2017 | Horror, Mystery, Thriller
Other films have tried to do the time loop plot, most successful was if course Groundhogs Day, which gets a pretty cute shout out in this film, but those other films did not have the cleverness of this film. By taking a horror plotline and injecting some dark humor and murder mystery, Happy Death Day becomes a refreshing, darkly comic, at times truly suspenseful horror film. The repeated day is done each new reset with a slightly different visual take, enough differences to keep it from being boring. The reveal of the killer was extremely shocking, at least to this reviewer. If you enjoy dark comedy and horror in the same movie I highly recommend this film

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star by Joe Rhatigan is a wonderful and different version of the classic version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. This version involves cats. Twinkle twinkle is a star and her feline friends are trying to find a way to visit. But balloon, dogs, and even some cake can not help the cats get to twinkle. The upside we learn why cats “sing” at night. The illustrations are brights, colorful, and it's full of fun. It is an old book with a cute twist. 

I give this book 4/5 stars. 

I received this ARC from Quarto Publishing Group and Moondance Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Nabari No Ou is a manga series about a middle school-aged boy that finds out that he holds a very sought-after secret power of a hidden ninja realm. While the book does contain some bloody and violent scenes, it also provides a look at school life, and plenty of humor. It's serious with a humorous overtone. The art is cute, and the book is pretty quick to read. However, you'll want to spend a little time studying the action in some of the drawings so that you don't miss what's going on. I wasn't sure what to expect from this manga, but I've been pleasantly surprised! It's definitely worth a read.
