Book Review #4 - The Candymakers

Image
  This is an amazing story. There are a few times the story dragged, but even when it slowed down, it never lost my interest. I've always loved the setting of the candy factory and the realistic, loveable characters. In fact, if someone were to ask me "what book could you read over and over and never get sick of?" I would say that the audio version of The Candymakers is definitely on that list.  Author: Wendy Mass Genre: Fiction/Mystery Series: Yes- two book series Time Period: Modern day Setting:  in a candy factory somewhere in the United States Summary:   Four children have been chosen to compete in a national competition to create the world's best new candy. Who will invent a candy more delicious than the Oozing Crunchorama or the Neon Yellow Lightning Chew?

Book Review #10 - The Green Ember

Thoughts: Readers, you are once again stuck with Raya Lee. Your precious hostess still remains in my clutches… though perhaps next week you shall hear from your beloved Ella Grace. In the meantime… *inhales slowly* I don’t believe you are quite ready to hear about my thoughts on this series. Too bad for you though, because you shall hear about my thoughts anyways. From the ages of 10-13, this was my favorite book series. EVER. I spent countless hours reading (and rereading) the series, then more countless hours working the nine fanfictions I wrote for it. Though it is no longer my favorite, it still remains very near and dear to my heart. However, just because it was a favorite doesn’t mean it had no flaws. This will be a very honest post, but I hope it convinces you to give the book a shot! I will say, this series is intended for younger children. While teens and adults may find it enjoyable (my dad loved this series, and I still love it at 16 years old), it may not intrigue older ima...

Book Review #5 - Red Rover Red Rover

  Thoughts: *clears throat* Sooo it's been a little bit. I did not forget about my blog, but I barely had time to breathe the last year. But we're back! And hopefully going to have regular book reviews! somebody scream at me if I stop posting again . And now, onto the review.  Wow. This book has been on my TBR list for years. I finally put it on my birthday wish list a few months ago. Low and behold, someone bought it for me! Since then, I've read it. Reread it. And rereread it. Saying it is amazing is not enough. I could go scream its name from the rooftops. But I'm an introvert so we're not doing that.  I loved all the codenames, the intrigue, the mystery, and the comedy! It is so wonderful to have a spy/comedy novel that is Christian and clean! It's like a breath of fresh air.
