Book Review: Misty Copeland’s Firebird
I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Source: the library Firebirdby Misty Copeland picture book in Hardcover edition that was published by G.P. Putnam’s Books for Young Readers on September 14, 2014 and has 40 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon Illustrator: Christopher Myers A standalone story that is inspired by Misty Copeland’s own rise as a ballerina. In 2015, Firebird won the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award and the Ezra Jack Keats Book Award New Writer Honor. In 2014, it was voted an NPR Best Book, an Amazon Best Book for Ages 6–8 as well as Amazon Best Book of the Month [September], and was Essence Magazine’s Best Children’s Book. To be fair, I suspect most of these awards are because it’s written by a black ballerina with a young black heroine. No, I’m not trying to be nasty. I’m simply unimpressed with the supposed “story”. My Take The inside end papers are a collage of textures from yellow to deepest orange. The inside graphics are similar to the cover with its modern blocks a collage of […]

Book Review: J.N. Duncan’s The Lingering Dead
I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Source: the library The Lingering Deadby J.N. Duncanin eBook edition that was published by Kensington Books on April 3, 2012 and has 351 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon Other books by this author which I have reviewed include Deadworld, The Vengeful DeadThird in the Jackie Rutledge paranormal fantasy series that has access to an alternate plane of non-existence and revolves around an ex-FBI agent and her new team of paranormal experts in Chicago. It’s been six weeks since The Vengeful Dead, 2. My Take The Lingering Dead is all about acceptance, a lesson Jackie must learn, for she has always drowned herself in alcohol and one-night stands, and she has no clue how to have a relationship. With either sex. Duncan has included a number of thoughts and actions that repeat this motif, and it does leave one with hope for the future. The story uses third person limited with Jackie’s perspective as the point-of-view character. The rest of the characters are on one side of the good vs evil […]
