Book Review: Unruly Julie by Alan Moss

Image
Unruly Julie  by Alan Moss  is a children's picture book with an expected publication date of January 28, 2025. This rhyming kids book is about a girl named Julie who gets herself into trouble by being mischievous before finally realizing she wants to behave like a proper little girl. I'd like to thank NetGalley and Troubador Publishing Ltd. for providing me with an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Unruly Julie  for free in exchange for my honest review. I found the title and cover of the book to be quite catchy and wanted to see what it was all about, and it didn't disappoint. The content of the story was quite catchy and memorable, and the illustrations were quite fun. The lesson was a passive lesson that I hope children will pick up on as it's an important one. It's just an all around fun book that's appropriate for children between the ages of three and five. Five out of five stars is what I give Unruly Julie  by Alan Moss. This is a first in a series that kid...

Book Review: Witch Upon A Star (Witch Way Librarian Mysteries, #4) by Angela M. Sanders

book review witch upon a star angela m sanders

Witch Upon A Star (Witch Way Librarian Mysteries, #4) by Angela M. Sanders was published May 23, 2023 by Kensington Books.  Josie is excited to have her sister Jean come visit her in Wilfred, Oregon.  However, Josie isn't quite as happy for the reason . . . Jean is attending a workshop to become a certified life coach.  When two people associated with the workshop are found murdered, and Jean is threatened, Josie sticks her nose into the investigation.

A big thank you goes out to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Witch Upon A Star (Witch Way Librarian Mysteries, #4) by Angela M. Sanders.  I was happy to be approved to receive this book for free in exchange for my honest review.  After reading this book, I'm now a fan of the author and can't wait to read the first three books in the series or for the next installment to come out.

I was pleasantly surprised that the story was so well written and engaging.  At times, it played like a movie in my mind, and I loved all the red herrings throughout the story that kept me guessing, and incorrectly guessing at that!  I couldn't figure out who the killer was or his/her motive . . . this is always a big plus for me because I don't like figuring out who it is right off the bat.

Most of the characters were very likable, even a few that shouldn't have been.  I loved the fact that one of the characters was a black cat named Rodney . . . he might have been one of my favorites.  Of course, I really liked the main character, Josie, and the sheriff, Sam.  I do wish the author had recapped the backstory of Sam a little earlier in the book, but other than that, I don't really have any complaints.

Four out of five stars is what I give Witch Upon A Star (Witch Way Librarian Mysteries, #4) by Angela M. Sanders.  This is a must read for anyone who enjoys novels about libraries, books, cats, and magic.
