Book Review: Bridal Shower Murder (Lucy Stone, #31) by Leslie Meier

Bridal Shower Murder (Lucy Stone, #31)  by Leslie Meier  opens with Lucy Stone rushing home to clean house for Zoe who is bringing home her boyfriend Chad. While there, Zoe and Chad announce their engagement but want to keep it a secret for a bit.  When a nosy busybody named Janice gets the best of Lucy, the mother of the bride blurts out Zoe's secret. Chaos ensues with a murder and an overdose. NetGalley, thank you for approving me to receive an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Bridal Shower Murder .  I've come to love Leslie Meier's Lucy Stone cozy mystery series and know that I will automatically read any book in this series without reading the synopsis. I have to say that this was one of the best stories in the series for multiple reasons. The first reason is that Lucy's husband isn't quite so sexist, which is refreshing for a change. I dislike it when he acts like a caveman who expects Lucy to be a housewife and wait on him hand and foot. What really surprised me...

Book Review: I'm Not Scared No Way! by Kimberly Pattinson, Illustrated by Zeynet Dural

Book Review  I'm Not Scared No Way! by Kimberly Pattinson, Illustrated by Zeynet Dural

I'm Not Scared No Way! by Kimberly Pattinson, Illustrated by Zeynet Dural was published on September 18, 2022 and is about a little boy getting his first haircut.

Thank you to NetGalley and Books Go Social for the free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book goes through the emotions a child might go through when getting their first haircut.  It's great for a child that might be two or three, but most kids don't remember getting their first haircut.  I sure don't remember mine.  
 
Personally, if a child is getting upset about their first haircut beforehand, I think it has more to do with the parents getting upset about it, and the kids feeding off of their parent's emotions.  That's not to say that once they get to a hair salon that the noises from hair clippers or seeing scissors come towards their head isn't upsetting because I am sure it is.  

What I would've liked to see in the book is more of the actual haircut and the hairdresser showing all the tools to the kid to help them understand what would happen.  The aftermath showing that the parents were excited about the haircut was great.

With that being said, having items at the back of the book to keep the child's hair among other things associated with the first haircut is an amazing way to make a memento of one of the child's "firsts". 

All in all, I gave I'm Not Scared No Way! by Kimberly Pattinson, Illustrated by Zeynet Dural four out of five stars because it was a super cute book.
