This was an incredibly heartwarming board book all about a Dad telling his child how important they are to him. It is an extremely short book but it does such a good job of expressing the love between the father and his child - often hitting on that refrain that 'you were made for me.' The illustrations were… Continue reading Made for Me – Zack Bush & Gregorio De Laurentis

Yes No Maybe So – Becky Albertalli & Aisha Saeed
Ugh. Okay. I know there's normally a better recap of the book but gosh dang I disliked this book so much that I can't be bothered. Jamie - Jewish, stage fright, canvases neighborhoods cause he LOVES POLITICS. Maya - Muslim, divorcing parents, canvasing neighborhoods cause she WANTS A CAR. Jamie & Maya - BFFS but can't date cause… Continue reading Yes No Maybe So – Becky Albertalli & Aisha Saeed
Nourish Me Home – Cortney Burns
This is quite possibly the most creative cookbook that I've ever seen...but also one that I really can't see myself using very often. Nourish Me Home is centered around the seasons and the elements (water, fire, air and earth). Sustainability and unique eats. The book begins with casting a circle, a bit about the author's journey into cooking and… Continue reading Nourish Me Home – Cortney Burns

The World’s Best Dad During & After the Divorce – Paul Mandelstein
As a heads up (and you all can probably already tell) but I'm not the target audience for this book. I don't have children, I'm not going through a divorce and I'm definitely NOT a dad. So...why read this book? To be honest, I was curious. I'm not a huge fan of self-help books BUT… Continue reading The World’s Best Dad During & After the Divorce – Paul Mandelstein
