Book Review: Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman  opens with the people at an apartment viewing being taken hostage after a bank robber fails at trying to rob a bank.  I was extremely excited to read Anxious People and got the ebook on sale. However, I never got around to reading the book   until one of my book clubs decided to discuss it for the month of June. I am saddened to say that I was extremely disappointed in the story as it wasn't what I was expecting. First and foremost, I found the book to be too long and thought it could have easily been shortened without it affecting the story. Additionally, I struggled with finishing it because it was painfully slow and boring. I found myself wondering if the author was ever going to get to the big reveal.

Book Review: Princess Diana (Little People, Big Dreams, #98) by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

Book Review Princess Diana (Little People, Big Dreams, #98) by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

Princess Diana (Little People, Big Dreams, #98) by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is a children's book detailing the life of Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales in a kid friendly way.  The expected publication is September 5, 2023.

Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books, for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Princess Diana (Little People, Big Dreams, #98) by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara.  I was delighted to be approved to read this book for free in exchange for my honest review.

This book is perfect for children between the ages of five and seven and is a great way to introduce kids to non-fiction stories.  Not knowing much about Princess Diana, I actually learned something about her.  I had no idea that Diana had an eating disorder.  In my opinion, this biography is a great way for parents to have a discussion about eating disorders with their child.  The illustrations by Archita Khosla were fantastic and added to the story.

Five out of five stars is what I give Princess Diana (Little People, Big Dreams, #98) by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara.  I hope this author and publishing company continue to write and publish additional biographies for children that are as engaging as this one.
