Book Review: There Are No Dragons In This Book by Donna Lambo-Weidner

Image
There Are No Dragons In This Book by Donna Lambo-Weidner is a children's book where kids look to make sure there are no dragons in the book.  The expected publication date is March 5, 2024.  I'd like to thank NetGalley for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of this book. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in this picture book.  I didn't care for the story, and it's not something I would likely read to a child.  I also didn't like that the story actually did have dragons in it only because I feel like a child might be upset that they were mislead.  However, I'm not the target audience, so kids may love it. On a positive note, I did enjoy the colorful illustrations.  It definitely gives the reader a lot to look at.  Three out of five stars is what I gave There Are No Dragons In This Book by Donna Lambo-Weidner.

Book Review: The Breakdown by B.A. Paris

After spending the night celebrating the end of the school year with her colleagues, teacher Cass decides to drive home instead of spending the night with her friend. Calling her husband to let him know she will be home after all, Matthew requests that she not take the shortcut home through the woods. After a split second decision, Cass decides to take the shortcut home despite promising her husband that she wouldn't and happens across a car that is pulled onto the shoulder of the road with a woman sitting inside.  Fast forward to the next morning, Matthew tells Cass that he is relieved that she didn't take Blackwater Lane home as a woman was found murdered in her car on that road. Thankful she didn't get out of her car to check on the woman, Cass can't shake the guilty feeling of not helping her and that her husband will find out that she disregarded his simple request, but Cass has bigger problems to worry about . . . she keeps forgetting things. On top of that,
