Welcome

A Bookaholic, Pro-life, Conservative, Catholic, with Asperger's, who reads a lot. These are the ramblings of the books I read or read aloud to my energetic Autistic 11yo. I love reading almost any book from classics to mysteries to fantasy to ARCs. I sometimes go through stages of "genre love", get addicted to manga and graphic novels or get caught up in reading ARCs, but you'll find I read a wide variety of books, both fiction and non-fiction. I tend to post a lot of reviews of juvenile/teen books but I still do a lot of adult reviews as well. I read well over 200 books a year, but haven't made it to 300 yet!

Book Contest

Welcome to my very first book contest! The folks over at Toon Books have generously offered to giveaway a copy of Luke on the Loose by Harry Bliss, which came out this month at a bookstore near you.



Luke looks on at the pigeons in Central Park, while Dad is lost in “boring Daddy talk,” and before you know it—LUKE IS ON THE LOOSE! He’s free as a bird, on a hilarious solo flight through New York City.Harry Bliss, the renowned illustrator of many bestselling children’s books, finally goes on a solo flight on his own with a soaring story that will delight any young reader who has ever felt cooped up.

Perfect for emerging reading. This was one of my son's favourite out of the entire Toon Book series of books and you can read our own review here. I'd recommend the book for up to age 8 but older struggling readers would also find the story funny without being babyish. Heck, I liked it and I'm 40!

View sample pages here.

1) This contest is open to residents of the US and Canada only.
2) Please leave a comment below for an entry, make sure your email is available in your post or in your profile.
3) Blog about this contest (with a link to this post) on your own blog, then come back here and post a link to your blog post for a second entry.
4) Contest will close midnight May 8 Mountain Time. (I'll be in Alberta that day)
5) I'll use a random number generator to pick the winner and post the winner's name on Saturday May 9.
