Book Review: There Are No Dragons In This Book by Donna Lambo-Weidner

Image
There Are No Dragons In This Book by Donna Lambo-Weidner is a children's book where kids look to make sure there are no dragons in the book.  The expected publication date is March 5, 2024.  I'd like to thank NetGalley for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of this book. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in this picture book.  I didn't care for the story, and it's not something I would likely read to a child.  I also didn't like that the story actually did have dragons in it only because I feel like a child might be upset that they were mislead.  However, I'm not the target audience, so kids may love it. On a positive note, I did enjoy the colorful illustrations.  It definitely gives the reader a lot to look at.  Three out of five stars is what I gave There Are No Dragons In This Book by Donna Lambo-Weidner.

First off, Greg seems like he is very controlling, especially for a teenage boy. He doesn't like how Renee looks when she wears makeup and asks that she not wear around him. It seems more like a demand than a request. I wanted to tell the main character to run in the other direction.  The other thing that bothered me was how the modeling

Book Review: Little Sister (Sweet Dreams, #5) by Yvonne Greene

Growing up, there was a teen romance book series called Sweet Dreams that Bantam Books published. Each book was a stand alone book (for the most part) with different characters and were written by a variety of different authors. These teen romance books are hit and miss with character development and plot, especially when it comes to the earlier books in the series. However, the book series wasn't readily available in my local bookstores. It seemed that the only place I could actually find them easily were the school book fairs, which was frustrating to me as a kid.  Although the internet was around, online shopping hadn't made it big yet, so that wasn't really an option at the time. As an adult, I decided to track down some of these books online, order them, and read them. I came across a copy of Little Sister (Sweet Dreams, #5) by Yvonne Greene on ThriftBooks.com and decided to buy it. Little Sister (Sweet Dreams, #5) opens with Cindy waking up on the
