I read Piñata by Leopoldo Gout for a book club and here are my thoughts. I liked the prologue of this book. I will mention that more than once in this review. It was so impactful and set up the scene for a great story. Based on the prologue alone, I was convinced that the story would build around it and be more fleshed out.

The tweet in this facebook post recently came across my feed, so I decided to pick up the author’s book. Luckily, the audiobook was available at my library and you all….it’s REALLY good so far. It’s been such a long time since I’ve reached for a middle grade series.

What’s On My Nightstand is a sometimes weekly blog post, composed to update you all on what I’m currently reading. Why? Because I’m terrible at updating my social cataloging apps. I know. Shame on me.

February, the Month of Love, was my Month of Meh. I had some decent reads, but I wasn’t wowed. It was a pretty mediocre month of reading for me.

It’s been a long time coming. Come see and get to know a little about me in this Booktube Newbie Tag video.
