Mehso-so

This has been on my #tbr for years, and admittedly, I felt so underwhelmed with it. Perhaps I am not in the mood for a soap opera-y storyline, though there were parts that made me want to keep listening. I can see why this is such a popular series. The characters themselves are also dealing with so many heavy issues! Good to knock this one off my list, but I‘m not rushing to book two yet. My choice for #seriesstarter for #TeenAngst #BBRC

LibrarianRyan I agree. I liked this one better as a show than as a book. 4y
Librarybelle @LibrarianRyan I need to watch the show. Some day... 4y
LibrarianRyan @Librarybelle Your not missing much. The first two seasons were the best. It was just so over dramatic, especially if you binge it. 4y

batsy The show is perfect brain candy. And it got more ridiculous towards the end, just absolute nonsense like Riverdale. But that's my guilty pleasure TV 😂 4y

This book has all the things I ❤️ , and it was bloody marvelous. Emphasis on bloody! Set in the land of Faerie, where the most beautiful objects can kill a human in no time. The political intrigue makes American politics look like a play yard sandbox. Jude is an interesting and complex heroine. My only gripe is the hint of “he‘s so mean because he likes her” trope, but it‘s more complicated than that, so I could overlook it. #MountTBR

alisiakae This filled a LOT of prompts. #BBRC #seriesstarter #teenangst; #MarchUnshelfie book 1/3, #Booked2020 #CoverCrush, & because of the political mystery and intrigue in this fantasy world I count it for #Twins #mandmreadingchallenge (Jude has a twin sister Taryn). Also #pop20 author with flora or fauna in name. @LibrarianRyan @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @Clwojick 5y
reader_in_april This trilogy was amazing! Seriously one of my all time faves of 2019! 5y

alisiakae @reader_in_april I love it! So many morally ambiguous characters, and she does such a great job of creating a dark Faerie world, my favorite kind. 5y
Clwojick Woohoo! I love when a book checks off multiple prompts. 5y

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur | Brandon Montclare, Amy Reeder

Are you a fan of Data from the Goonie, or Inspector Gadget? Did you wish they have more brainy female characters? Girl do I have the book for you. Luella just wants her parents to understand her. She has DNA that can be changed by a toxic cloud and it is the last thing she wants to happen. And she is so smart. She could probably teach Tony Stark a thing or two. ⬇

LibrarianRyan And while at 9 she is a little scrawny to go head to head with the Hulk, her Devil Dinosaur is more than up to the challenge.

This is a kick off to a girl power marvel adventure that says smart is AWESOME. Saving your self is AWESOME, and saving everyone else is... Well it has to be done. This graphic novel has the laughs a middle grade student would want, action, comedy, plus a storyline that won't have adults talking about “kid stuff”.

LibrarianRyan Now if this reviewer was sitting in english class they could make the argument that this is an allegory about not wanting to become a “woman” or the changes that happen as girls grow older. It‘s in there, it can be seen, but who cares. This is just a fun read and I can not wait to grab book 2.

I absolutely loved this book. I listened to it on audio and both narrators were fantastic. My original reason for reading this was for #Booked2019 Muslim author but I am definitely planning to read the next two.
@Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage
Also my last book for #BFCr3 #bookfitnesschallenge @wanderinglynn
