4 ⭐ I read this when it originally came out, but I loved rediscovering it in graphic novel format. This really hits home with kids learning the message about book banning and why some people want to do it and why you shouldn‘t. Just like the first one it‘s a great companion to the original chapter book series, and I hope they continue to make every book in the series into a graphic novel .

TheBookHippie Oh I‘ll have to get this for my readers! 3d
LibrarianRyan @TheBookHippie part of me loves chapter books being turned into graphic novels when they‘re done well like this series, and part of me hates it like the graphic novels of Junie B Jones 3d
TheBookHippie @LibrarianRyan I agree totally. 3d

Welcome to 2026, fellow Littens! I love the #ispybingo challenge run by @TheAromaofBooks so I couldn‘t help but make a few of my own when she so awesomely offered. 😂

Let‘s do some traveling this year! Most of the prompts will be found within books. For each of the 7 continents, the book can be set there or the author can be from there. Please tag me if you participate because I‘d love to see everyone‘s progress. Happy reading!

Welcome to 2026, fellow Littens! I love the #ispybingo challenge run by @TheAromaofBooks so I couldn‘t help but make a few of my own when she so awesomely offered. 😂

This one is for romance readers, and all the items should be found on the covers of your romance books. Please tag me if you participate because I‘d love to see everyone‘s progress. Happy reading!

LiseWorks I sure hope to remember to tag you lol 1w
Faranae I started to think “oh no but I don't read the kind of romance with bare chests on the cover“, and then I remembered the very deceptive cover of Sailor's Delight. 😂 1w

OriginalCyn620 @Faranae I‘m not familiar with that cover but I‘m intrigued! 😂 1w
Faranae @OriginalCyn620 At some point, I need to add the book to Litsy. It's a slow-burn, 0 spice m/m historical romance, with this cover https://www.roselerner.com/bookshelf/sailors-delight/ 1w
OriginalCyn620 @Faranae Oh my, that definitely works! 😜 1w

This challenge is also (FINALLY) live on Storygraph! I have listed ALL the monthly prompts. Several of the bonus boards have been listed as bonus prompts. However, the boards that focus more on the book as an whole rather than just finding things on the cover I have not listed in the SG challenge because it gets a little confusing 😂 Those boards are still in the ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Canva doc, and hopefully that all makes sense!!

I wanted more from this. I just read a whole book on speed cubing and still don‘t have the first clue how to solve a cube. Technique names and combinations are thrown out like the reader is expected to follow, but there‘s no explanation. Also, the awful characters all still got a happy ending without consequences which is just SO annoying.

Mehso-so

I was slightly disappointed by this one. The main character being a crossword-setting amateur sleuth lead to unfavourable comparison‘s the Judith Potts from Robert Thorogood‘s Marlow Murder Club series.
This novel was a good idea not particularly well-executed.
