pickThis is not a Shaun Tan book I am used to but I loved it! It's about a fake inventor named Henry Archibald Mintox and the fake stories about the inventions pictured in the book. The pictures are actually really from the Powerhouse Museum. I thought the pictures, and the stories were great and hilarious.
#wdncw when we say we‘re here for the power of Miss Piggy. Can we all agree that insecure men should be relics of the past? And can women stop defending them too? Happy to see journalists like Mary Bruce & Jennifer Jacobs standing up to insecure men & asking them tough questions (hopefully the rest of the journalism pools will also grow a backbone). Bring on the matriarchy & down with the patriarchy.
pickEnjoyed this book. Cats looked very creepy but I was okay with that. When the light in the scary lighthouse goes out, our two main cats have to go out to see what the trouble is... could it be the lobster ghost or nothing at all? I thought the story was adorable and the graphics were interesting.
so-soI did end up finishing it, but the humor wasn‘t really on my wavelength. Pros were the creative premise and some of the comical scenarios; cons were the crass humor, the unlikeable cast, and the “twist” that is obvious to the reader long before the MC figures it out. Also the downside of a creative premise is that it‘s easy to get out over your skis and wind up with some very weird explaining to do. 2⭐️
So Ozzy has Neanderthal DNA in him. That explains a few things 😸 I found this book very entertaining. What did y'all think 🖤🦇🖤

Inspired by @Leftcoastzen I got this one out from the library then perused it while my teen got his haircut. There are some painful cars in here, but they missed the 1991 Ford Tempo.
pick3.9⭐️ This one had me rolling. But I just can‘t get over the ending, which greatly disappointed me. Not the knowledge of who the daughter was but what they did to Charlie himself. That shit kind of sucked. Overall, though, it was such a fun book as only Christopher Moore can do.
