Book Review 2021 & 2022

Happy Tuesday,

A lot of these reviews I finished writing recently which means I don't remember all of the books very well and my notes were not always helpful. But I can't keep adding years to this post because it's already making the typing lag horrifically long.

Unhaul: I read the book and for whatever reason I will not be keeping it.

2021 (51)

1. Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman (Unhaul)

    Plot twist she is not fine. 

    Trigger warning for depression and ideation. Used the word "f@g" twice for cigarette (I don't care about the context. That's a no for me). 

    Eleanor is seemingly completely fine. She lives a solitary life of routine and too much vodka. She makes maybe her first friend ever who teaches her what it's like to care and be cared for, but when infatuation for another man goes wrong she spirals into a depressive episode where her friend finds her on the floor and encourages her to seek help. She then confronts a childhood full of trauma she'd kept at bay with denial and alcohol.

    This book was a Christmas present and while it was good enough for me to finish I don't love it enough to keep it on my small bookshelf.

Book Review 2020 (52)

Happy Tuesday everyone,

So I really let this blog fall through the cracks this year but can you blame me? But I love doing book reviews and my resolutions on here so whatever my year looks like I'm hoping to still at least do those. And here we are! I didn't expect to do all of the books I read in a year in one go but if this year was anything it was constantly surprising. Staring at this list of titles I realized I should have written notes about what I thought of these books at the time (I did for a few of them but not enough) because I genuinely don't remember some of them. Hopefully, I can jog my memory enough to do this post.

Also, I misplaced the pictures I took of books I gave away and now I can' find them. So there are a couple missing.

1.) Scooby-Doo 50th Anniversary

August - December (5) Book Review

Happy Tuesday Everyone,

Not only did I drop the ball the last five months but in 2020 I'm going to either do one book review for the whole year or one every six months because I got a job in October and don't have the time or energy to do it monthly. And I've been sick which is why my end of the year stuff is late.

The Epic of Gilgamesh
I read this ancient Mesopotamian epic poem off of my boyfriend's bookshelf. It's one of the earliest work of literature that's survived for us to find us and surprise! It's pretty gay. But *Spoiler Alert* the two main characters who seem a little more than bros, both die. That was disappointing.

Where Mercy is Shown, Mercy is Given by Duane "Dog" Chapman
I bored this from my uncle and while I was reading it Beth Chapman passed away so it made the rest of the reading a little bittersweet. I've been a fan of the Dog the Bounty Hunter show since I was little and I've always admired Beth'ss strong and badass spirit and I'm really sorry for the family's loss.





The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling
This was a cute little read. It was interesting to see what a fairy tale is like in the world of Harry potter and get more context to the stories referenced in The Deathly Hallows.







Strange Planet by Nathan W Pyle
I bought this as a gift for a friend (hence the wrapping paper background) so of course, I read it first. I've been following the comic on facebook for a little bit because he makes really funny stuff. The concept is aliens being exposed to basic human things and hilarity ensues.

It's the Little Things by Richard Austin
I got this for my mom. It has some quotes with really cute pictures of mini pigs.

I am a little elephant by Francois Crozat
I got this book at the Zoo purely for the adorable size.

Happy Tuesday everyone it's not Tuesday,

David Bowie by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara and Ana Albero (Illustrator)

My rating: ★★★★★

I saw this for sale at Pride and I had to get it! I absolutely love David Bowie and I think it's so cool that they've made a children's book about him for future generations. The illustrations are so cute and really capture his creativity.

P.S I know this post is late and I only read one book and it was a children's book. I'm in a bit of a reading rut.

June Book Review (1)

Happy Tuesday everyone it's not Tuesday,

Full disclosure I looked at my calendar and realized it was the last day of the month and I had not finished even one book so I went into my friend's kid's room and found a dinosaur book and now I'm typing this post on my phone so if it's messed up I will fix it later.

Exploring a T-Rex by Dennis Schats

I had a good time with this book. It had a lot of cool information about T-rexs as one would expect as well as explanations on how they came to know or in some cases theorize that information. Researches look at fossils as well as other similar animals such as birds and reptiles to try to understand dinosaurs but there are still unanswered questions that may remain unanswered without the invention of the time machine.

The model of the T-Rex was pretty cool too. I think it's something kids would really respond to. It makes reading and learning more fun.

May Book Review (2)

Happy Tuesday everyone it's not Tuesday,

I originally titled this post "Mach Book Review"... First of all, that is not how you spell March. And second of all, it is not March.

Rumble Fish by S.E. Hinton

My rating: ★★★★

Another upsetting ending! Come on Hinton! You're killing me here! I enjoyed the reading and as it's my third book of S. E Hinton I was prepared for the sad ending. This is my least favorite of the three I read and That was Then, This is Now is my second favorite and I'm pretty sure nothing could possibly top The Outsiders.

Here's my literary analysis on S. E Hinton which prompted the reading of several of her books.

The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Kong

My rating: ★★★★★

I am obsessed with this book! Yesterday I visited my new friend, Caiden at their home and I knew they liked Pride and Prejudice so I asked if they knew about the edition of the book that had the manga illustrations (which I reviewed here) prompting them to show me this book. Some people, when handed a book, might just look at the cover and read the summery, which I did, but being me I also started to immediately read it. After a couple minutes, I laughed and asked if it was okay I was reading it. You put a book in my hands and it just happens. I have no self-control. When the evening came to a close I asked if I could borrow the book and was granted the honor. Borrowing books from a book lover is no small matter I still remember THE TWO BOOKS I LENT TO MY COUSIN (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) THAT SHE NEVER RETURNED! I have since only lent my books to two other people, one being a fellow book lover as well who I knew would take the matter seriously and the other being a member of my household so I could keep an eye on them and was guaranteed the safe return of my precious. Upon returning to my own dwelling I continued to read the book until the very end.


This is the story of a young prince doing princely things by day such as looking for a suitable woman to marry but by night this prince wears dresses, make-up, a wig and calls themselves Lady Crystallia and struts out on the streets of Paris alongside their seamstress and best friend, Frances. I am absolutely in awe that such a story exists. My favorite line is when the prince is asked why he wears women's dresses and he says, "'Some days I look at myself in the mirror and think, 'That's me, Prince Sebastian! I wear boy clothes and look like my father.' Other days it doesn't feel right at all. Those days I feel like I'm actually... A princess.'" I imagined someone reading that line and thinking, "that's me!" and how lovely it is that such a book exists for that person and how great it is to not only normalize but celebrate the idea that someone can be a prince by day and a princess by night.


And the art and the fashion is gorgeous but I feel like I've already let this review go too long so to summarize, this book is amazing.

April Book Review (1)

Happy Tuesday everyone,

That was Then, This is Now by S.E. Hinton

My rating: ★★★★★ until it gets to the ending and then it's more like ★★★

This... Is upsetting is what it is.

I really loved S. E. Hinton's first book, The Outsiders and eventually wanted to read her other books and was given the motivation when I was assigned a literary analysis on an author I liked for my English class. I really liked this book until it got to its very upsetting ending which I just read so I'm a bit conflicted on how I now feel about the book overall. Ponyboy from The Outsiders makes an appearance and I thought that was really cool because I love his character. The character of this book goes through so many tragedies that he becomes numb to the point of turning in his best friend who's like a brother to him when he discovers he's selling drugs (due to his past record he is sentenced to five years) and he stops caring about his girlfriend who he really loved and other friends. And that is the end. The book ends with him losing everything. Upsetting.

March Book Review (2)

Happy Tuesday everyone it's not Tuesday and it's not the day I'm supposed to post this either. First, I missed the due date then, I procrastinated taking the pictures and then, I had to get a new laptop. There goes my New Year's Resolution after just two months. Hopefully, I recover for the rest of the year.

The Giver by Lois Lowry (Graphic Novel)

My rating: ★★★★★

I'm not really a graphic novel or comic book person. I have a collection of Hazel comics that were created in 1943 by Ted Key (that's right your girl did some research) that I found at a used book store and read when I'm sad because they're really funny and always perk me up. I think I've mentioned them on this blog before but I can't think of where. I also have a collection of Peanut Comics my mom gave me when I was in elementary school. I haven't read it since then but I still have it because I have a fondness for the memory of my mom giving it to me out of the blue. I also have Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson because I enjoyed the book when I was younger and the main character is an artist and I wanted to see how the illustrator would portray it.

The Giver is a similar situation to Speak for me. I don't remember the first time I read The Giver but I remember doing a project on it my Sophomore year of high school in my favorite English class. When I saw the graphic novel version I was really excited because a really cool concept Lois Lowry writes about is that the community members don't see in color. The main character, Jonas only sees flashes here and there until he receives memories from the giver. If you don't know what I'm talking about why haven't you read The Giver? Just why? It's a classic but not like Moby Dick, like it's actually good. Anyway, so I was excited to see how the illustrator portrayed that concept and I was not disappointed.

While the art in graphic novels are really cool I find that there isn't enough actual reading for me to get the same satisfaction as an actual book so I did have that problem but that's just personal preference.


The second book contains trigger warnings.

February Book Review (1)

Happy Tuesday everyone it's not Tuesday,

Most of the reading I did this month was the Sherlock Holmes Series that I'm not reviewing until I finish it or get to my end of the year post, whichever comes first. I'm also reading, A Poem A Day that I'll also review at the end of the year.

I Am Her Tribe by Danielle Doby
My rating: ★★★

I wasn't able to really connect to the poetry in this book. I was reading it off and on during this month and I think I find it better to read a whole poetry book in one sitting. I didn't dislike the book but I think I need to give it another chance to fully appreciate it. I also felt I was reading it because I needed to finish a book this month for this post and my 2019 resolutions so it felt a bit forced.

January Book Review (6) +On Turning 21+

Happy Tuesday Everyone it's not Tuesday,

I'm sick of linking every book to my Goodreads account so here is the link and it is also on this months book review on the right.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris

My rating: ★★★★★

This book is based on the true story of Ludwig (Lale)  Eisenberg, a Jewish man living in Slovakia who volunteered to work for the German government in hopes of saving his family from being sent to a concentration camp only to be sent to Auschwitz where he becomes the Tatowierer or tattooist/tattooer. One day he tattoos the number 34902 on Gisela (Gita) Fuhrmannova and they fall in love. I will leave my summery at that so as not to spoil the ending.

I don't often enjoy historical or non-fiction books but I was really attracted to the idea of reading a book from the point of view or the tattooist of Auschwitz and ended up really enjoying it. It is a lovely addition to my bookshelf. 

Someday by David Levithan 

My rating: ★★★★★

Every day, Another day
This is the third book of this series about someone who refers to themselves as, "A" who wakes up in a different body every day. Personally, I don't think you have to read Another day before this one because it's the same story as Every Day but from a different perspective. You have to at least red Every Day before reading this book.

At first, I didn't like that there were so many different points of views along with A because they (A does not identify with a gender) have the most fascinating point of view but by the end of the book, it felt like the chapter point of views shifted in a way to draw similarity to how A lives in a different body every day.

My best friend (@anabanasphotography on Instagram. She does a lot of the photography for my blog.) bought the first two books for me for Christmas and my birthday in 2017 and then for Christmas of 2019 we went to the bookstore together to buy each other books (a couple did this in Not Her Daughter) and the third book happened to be there so she bought it for me too.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Safran Foer

My rating: ★★★

The friend I mentioned above lent me this book. I really liked the main character, 8-year-old Oskar and the other characters in the book. They're so quirky in such interesting ways. I also liked how the book included pages from the notebook of one of the characters who can't speak and pictures. The chapters switch between Oskars point of view and other characters in the book. I think the other point of views where his grandma and grandpa. I shouldn't wait so long to write the review for books. I don't even have the book anymore.

Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie

My rating: ★★★★

I've had this book since high school and I finally finished it. It was kind of a weird read because there are aspects of the book that challenges my past ideas of the Peter Pan story which is mostly made up of the Disney versions and the movie Hook with Robin Williams. I had heard many dark theories that Peter Pan kills the lost boys as they grow up and that the pirates actually used to be lost boys that escaped and grew into adulthood and that's why they're after Peter and the lost boys. One of my motivations to read this book was to see for myself if the rumors were true.

 "All children, except one, grow up." (Page 1) Think about it. If Peter Pan is the only one who doesn't grow up, that means the lost boys do.

"The [lost] boys on the island vary, of course, in numbers, according as they get killed and so on, and when they seem to be growing up, which is against the rules, Peter thins them out..." (page 54)

"... [Peter] was so full of wrath against grown-ups, who, as usual, were spoiling everything, that as soon as he got inside his tree he breathed intentionally quick short breaths at the rate of about five to a second. He did this because there is a saying in the Neverland that, every time you breathe, a grown-up dies; and Peter was killing them off vindictively as fast as possible."

"'There's a pirate asleep in the pampas just beneath us,' Peter told him. 'If you like, we'll go down and kill him.” ... “Suppose,” John said, a little huskily, 'he were to wake up.' Peter spoke indignantly. 'You don't think I would kill him while he was sleeping! I would wake him first, and then kill him. That's the way I always do.' 'I say! Do you kill many?' 'Tons.'”

Peter hates adults and likes killing people therefor if the lost boys were to look like adults he would surely kill them.

Rugrats Guide to Adulting by DK Publishing

My rating: ★★★★★

On a lighter note this is a Rugrats book for adults which at first, may seems weird. Why is a children's show about babies writing a book for adults? Well, Rugrats first aired in 1990 so that means a lot of the 90' s babies who grew up watching Rugrats are now all grown up! Including me. 

The book pairs pictures from the show along with the corresponding quote and a life lesson for adults. My favorites are, "'Nakey is good! Nakey is free! Nakey is nakey'" equals, "Just Be Yourself" and "'I'm heading home to have myself a juice, snuggle up with my blankie, and go nap-nap.'" equals. "Get Enough Sleep".

On Turning 21

I just turned 21 and have been feeling really weird about it. Like I'm really a grown-up now. I feel like when you're 18, 19 and even 20 you can still get away with not yet feeling, acting or being treated like one. But now there is no escaping it! One of my mom's coworkers said I'm in PRIME CHILDBEARING  YEARS. I am now legally allowed to purchase and consume alcohol. Wild. And now I'm looking around at my life as a 21-year-old and thinking this is not what 21 was advertised to me as being. The media advertised 21 as being a major party age where you put on a full face of make-up, a short glittery dress, and party at clubs until two in the morning every weekend. I don't even know where a club is and if I ever were to go to one I wouldn't have anything to wear or know where to get something appropriate to wear in a club and oh yeah I don't like drinking, loud music, crowds or flashing lights. I thought 21 was like Jersey Shore but my idea of a part is a slumber party with my friends where we wear onesies and eat junk food while watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And if we are out late it's because we went out for more junk food in our onesies.

This comic book is so cute and so very relatable to me as a book lover. Honestly, that pretty much sums it up.

Hardcovers, Paperbacks and eBooks (Oh My)

Happy Tuesday everyone,

Hardcovers

The biggest con of hardcover books is the price. They are so much more expensive than their paperback counterparts that I rarely buy them. I can often be seen walking through the aisles of Barnes and Noble taping book covers to check if they're hardcover and if they are I won't pick it up and read the summery because I don't want to fall in love with a hardback. There are of course special occasions and exceptions.

Chasers of the light

1. If someone else bought it for me. I'm not one to turn down a present and it's not my money.
Chasers of the Light

2. If it's a special edition of a book I really love.
Pillow Thoughts (Extended Version),  Winnie the Pooh, It Takes Two (Autographed Version), Speak (Graphic Novel version), Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Outsiders

Meddling Kids

3. I fell in love with it and there wasn't a paperback copy at the time or it doesn't come in a paperback version. I try very hard to avoid hardcovers but sometimes I love the book so much I just need it.
What the Dinosaurs Did Last Night, T-Rex Trying, 2Fish, Meddling kids etc.

3.5.) I have a collection of all of Shakespeare's plays and a collection of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock series and those are both exclusively in hardcover.

Hardcover

Paperback

4.) In the rare case of Our Chemical Hearts, I liked the hardcover's art way more than the paperback's cover art and the hardcover version ended up going on sale for five dollars so it was even cheaper than the paperback version.

Paperbacks

I tend to prefer paperbacks as I don't just love reading books but I love holding them and collecting them and shopping for them. I love everything about it. Paperback holds the most satisfaction as far as that's concerned. As for price, it tends to be a middle ground between expensive hardcovers and cheap ebooks.

Kindle Books (eBooks)

While eBooks don't have the satisfaction of holding a book and putting it on your shelf when you finish reading it, it is certainly the most convenient and inexpensive of the three. When you finish a paperback and you're out and about (I read in between classes at college) if you don't have a backup with you, you're kind of SOL. But when you have your Kindle (Or Nook? I think they're the same concept) you always have a library of books at your fingertips that you can read and if you're in a place with Wifi you can even buy a new book right there. It's especially satisfying if you're reading a series. When you finish one of the books you don't have to go to the store to get the next one, it is literally a click away. eBooks also have the benefit of being less expensive than even the paperback version of the same book. This is not always the case but in my experience, the eBook version is almost always less expensive than any printed version. The Kindle store also has a lot of very cheap eBooks if you need something to read but only have a couple dollars of spending money. This category of books are often lower quality (especially in editing) but you can find some real gems in the mix.

December Book Review (6) +Bonus+ Why I Love Winter

Happy Tuesday everyone it's not Tuesday,

1.) The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton

My rating: ★★★★★

<My Outsiders Presentation>

2.) Not Her Daughter by Rea Frey

My rating: ★★★★

@anabanasphotography on Instagram

This is the story of a young girl named Emma who is kidnapped/rescued from an abusive mother. The book switches between the perspective of Sarah, who takes the young girl and Amy, the mother of that young girl. The last chapter is from the perspective of the young girl to leave you in suspense of whether or not she is with Amy or with Sarah. And the ending will surprise you.


The first chapter is in Sarah's point of view and is titled, "during". In this chapter she tells herself, "I am rewriting her story, altering her memories, shifting her shitty childhood into clean chunks: before, during, after. Then, now, someday" (Page 5) I really like how this sentence sets up the rest of the book. While sections of chapters are split between Sarah and Amy, each individual chapter is either titled, "during", "before" or "after" while the last few chapters are titled "now" followed by Emma's chapter titled, "Epilogue - One Year Later".

Personally, I would have liked a table of contents because I really wanted to highlight how the book is set up as it's one of my favorite aspects of the book. I ended up making my own for this purpose.

As for the story, in general, I did really like it but I gave it four out of five stars because I don't plan on adding it to my bookshelf or reading it again. Some books are good for a one time read and this is one of them. It's possible that I will want to read it again later down the line but as I have it recorded I can easily look up the title if I forget and get it on my kindle.

(my kindle)

3.) I have lost my way by Gayle Forman

My rating: ★★★★


I read this really fragmentedly and it was also written really fragmentedly so I don't think I got the full impact of the story. The chapters switch between three characters as well as switching between the past and present for each of the characters. I don't want to give too much of my opinion because I didn't give it a very fair chance.

4, 5, 6.) The Greatest Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

My rating: ★★★★★

I love the BBC show Sherlock so I really wanted to read the Sherlock Holmes series. There are so many novels and short stories that I decided to go with a complete collection and it was only $7.98! According to the cover it includes four complete novels and fourty-four short stories. I read A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. And for the sake of keeping track of how many books I read this year, I'm counting them as three separate books. By the way, I didn't read all of these just this month. I've been working on it all year and I hope to finish it next year. I'm currently on page 310 of 939.

P.S. Winter is my favorite season! Rainy and cold is my absolute favorite weather. I love curling up in my PJ pants with my cat and a good book and maybe some hot chocolate. I joke that I have the opposite of the usual seasonal depression formally known as Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD which is a type of depression due to the changes of the season. Most people begin to feel depressed during the fall and winter but I come alive when it gets cold and rainy!

December is my favorite month because of the weather and because it's my birth month and Christmas and I'm greedy and love presents and money.

Bookshelf update and do things you're not good at?

Happy Tuesday everyone it's not Tuesday,

Before

After

I love painting. I forgot how much because I didn't do a whole lot of it this year. I worked on a recent paint project, well I redid a slightly older paint project. I have a pretty small bookshelf and I was struggling with wanting to display some of my books prettily but not having enough room. I came up with stacking these wood crates from Michaels next to it to sort of extend the bookshelf. I wanted each crate to display a specific book or book series that I loved. Originally I had Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh, Harry Potter, and The Outsiders. I have three copies of Alice and Wonderland and Winnie the Pooh as well as a lot of merchandise that I wanted to display with it so that worked out really cool. I have a really pretty box set of the Harry Potter series and now I'm collecting the Lego figurines so that looks really cool. But I didn't have anything else to put inThe Outsiders box beside the three copies I have so it comparatively didn't look as good. I decided to switch it out for a Scooby-Doo box. I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before as I'm obsessed with Scooby-Doo and I do have a collection book of Scooby-Doo stories.

I painted each crate with a corresponding theme of what it was dedicated to so I had to repaint the black and white strips of The Outsiders to a light blue and green (I might add orange flowers later) for the mystery machine. And once I did that I, of course, had to repaint all of them. Actually, I didn't repaint the Alice box because I did a blue and white for Alice's dress and I still liked it. The Winnie the Pooh box was originally yellow and white and I had been thinking about changing it to yellow and red for his shirt but I still really liked the yellow and white. I decided to compromise and do the back panel with yellow and red and left the rest of it yellow and white. When I painted the Harry Potter box I didn't really know what to do because the only theme colors where for each house but I wanted an overall theme. I ended up going with dark blue and black to do sort of a night sky effect. When I repainted it I decided to do three themes of the houses for each inside panel and I left the top and bottom dark blue. I did the back panel as blue and grey for Ravenclaw, the right panel with yellow and red for Gryffindor, and the left panel with yellow and black for Hufflepuff. I think most people would argue that the main panel should be the Gryffindor colors because Harry is the main character but I am a proud Ravenclaw, it's my favorite house, and I love Luna Lovegood so I made it the middle.

Now, what does this have to do with doing things you're not good at? Well. I'm not good at painting. Now painting crates doesn't take a lot of skills but generally speaking, I'm not a great painter. I like what I create but I know that I have very basic skills. Same with drawing. So why do I do it if I'm not very good? The answer is simple. It makes me happy. I love painting and drawing and doing other art. And I think that's more important than being good at it. You don't have to be good at your hobbies to love doing it. And I for one think it's really important to do things you love. Take this blog for another example. It's not very popular. Mostly some friends and family read it once in a while. But I love doing it. So I continue to do it.

There's my little spiel. Do what makes you happy even if you aren't great at it.

Totally Ky






P.S. Here's a post of most of my paintings if you want to check that out. And this is what my current painting set up looks like. I don't like how the third picture is looking but I'm not sure what to do about it.

To Make Monsters out of Girls by Amanda Lovelace

See also: The Princess Saves Herself In This One and The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One

My rating: ★★★★
I went straight for the hardcover copy of this book because I love Amanda Lovelace and the hardcopy version of poetry books usually have extra poems. I need. I also liked it for the art and black and white with pops of red color scheme. I think this book focuses on love and heartbreak more than the other two books even though all three are apart of the "women are some kind of magic" series. It's split into three sections titled, "monster-boy", "monster-girl" and "sun-heart". She really takes us into some relationships she's had in a very intense and personal way. She not only talks about the monster-boys who broke her heart but she includes some poems where she is a monster-girl herself. I think if anyone has been in an abusive relationship this could be very triggering for them and she does include that at the top of her list of trigger warnings. I think for some people who went through that it could be very healing.
