Great children‘s read about cryptozoology! The last section tells about various cryptozoology creatures from around the world!

This book was so adorable! It had the perfect amount of conflict, heat and slow-burn romance. I really enjoyed the banter between Hallie and Hayden.

This was ok, but more of a cozy mystery than I was expecting. I wanted it to be more spooky! Another review called it Scooby-Doo plus Hallmark and I think that‘s a good description. The narrator of the audiobook did not help. Very monotone.

This was my #BookSpin for October.

Cryptids... they're just like us. 😂

I didn't get all of these -- perhaps should have read the glossary at the end first, but some of them had me rolling on the floor.

This is the book that came home with me from Alice‘s Haunted Little Bookshop - I wish I could post more than one pic in a post because the illustrations are beautiful. Guess I‘ll have to post some of my favorites as I make my way through these pages!

Love it when the book I‘m reading subtly brings in a reference to just my favorite video game series of all time! I see you Mallory Marlowe. I see you and totally feel you 😂

My X-files loving heart LOVED this book. This will be a must read author for me. Her debut was awesome and covered my love of Cryptids, Mulder and Scully and of course romance. Swoon. A book #2 is coming and it‘s not fast enough.
Book 49 of 2024

Dear Mothman | Robin Gow

Lovely. Explorations of grief and identity; perspective of trans, queer and autistic experience from an own voices author. Cryptid metaphor regarding othering of queer and transgender people accessibly conveyed for middle grade readers. Sketchy art style of Rebecca Harry's illustrations have such a life and sweetness to them. 1/3

Robotswithpersonality 2/3 Gotta say, I struggled as an adult reading children engaging in risky behaviour, even in a narrative with that tone of 'of course everything will turn out alright'. Took me a bit to get on board with an expansion in the perspectives offered. You spend a larger portion of the book only reading from Noah's POV, as he writes to Mothman and about his daily life, so that addition of Hannah, while it makes sense, felt a little jarring. 6mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 And while I'm humbugging, I have to say I'd describe this as an epistolary novel. I've heard it described as a novel in verse and I don't know enough about the parameters to be the arbitrator for whether this fits the definition, but I'm biased toward a certain structure in poems, even if they don't rhyme, and besides paragraph break formatting, that was not in evidence here. 6mo
