After a long day of cruisn’ through the various adventures in life (Indiana Jones has nuttin’ on me), nothing hits the spot like…chocolate. But once you say chocolate that’s all you need say. So these pages are dedicated to a few of my other passions: alligator wrestling, bull riding, reading books (big books, little books, picture books, no pictures books, even little black books), listening to music (from A to Z and back again) and a variety of other things. So take a minute to browse some of my faves and I hope they become some of yours.

This is less of a coming out story and more of a "coming into yourself" story. Crewes narrates their story in simple, but detailed illustrations and text. The reader is taken on their own journey of learning who we are really meant to be while Crewes takes their own. There is a charm and story that will be relatable to almost everyone who has wondered about “the times they knew” about themselves. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

Skunk and Badger are The Really Odd Couple. Timberlake created a book that has an old school/old world feeling to it. When two opposites are made to live with each other, the feathers fly (and not just from the chickens Skunks invites over). There is stink humor, a little danger and a lot of antics readers ages 7 to 10 can find a good time. It also would make for a fun read aloud by doing a chapter or two a night. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

Probert puts fantasy staples throughout, with modern themes, hints of classic tales and wraps it up all in a sparsely texted story that is beautifully illustrated. This charming graphic novel is a fast-paced story that is great for the 10 to 14-year-old reader (of course, adults must read, too). Friendship has never been so sweet or funny. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

This sweet story about family, balancing the old culture with a new one, food (lots of food), friendship and so much more has diverse, spunky characters who might not be as different (or confident) as they first seem. And did I mention it has food? Love of family, tradition and trying to make a place for oneself all comes together in a fun graphic novel for the eight to twelve crowd. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

This is a cute story about two best friends wanting to play all night long at a sleepover, but how the Yawns (and their friends) have other plans. While the kids bravely fight the Yawns, they are no match for THE YAWNS! Great images complement the story. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
