What would 2019 be without some Neil Gaiman? The edition I chose to read is illustrated by Chris Riddell, who sometimes provides illustrations for Gaiman’s works as well as writes and illustrates his own books. He and Gaiman have worked together on editions of Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book, The Sleeper and the Spindle, and Fortunately,…
Here’s another edition review instead of book review. I’ve been busy as the school semester comes to a close, and I haven’t had a lot of time for reading. Also, I am in a bit of reading slump. I read some fantastic books recently, and now everything I pick up feels bland in comparison. Anyone…
Before the new live-action Jungle Book came out I decided I wanted to read the book, but I also decided I wanted a nice edition to read from. I found this edition by Harper Design and fell in love. This is going to be another lazy review that mostly talks about the physical book and…

I read a lot as a child, but I somehow missed out on a lot of children’s classics. I found some of these cute Puffin children’s classics on sale at Book Outlet after Christmas. So this year I am going to try to read some of them! The Call of the Wild was the first…
