Nubs : a mutt, a Marine & a miracle

by Brian Dennis
- Rated 5 stars
“While this is a picture book in the sense it's full of pictures, this book is more for middle school-up age group. I happened across this book while passing some time in Target and I was thrilled that there was about about this story (I remember reading about this online). This is a wonderful picture book about Nubs and his love for Brian. I couldn't believe this dog walked 70 miles in the desert alone just to be with his friend...what love! If anyone has time to spare, read this book!”

Belle

by Cameron Dokey
- Rated 4 stars
“I really enjoyed this book! It's the only book in the Once Upon a Time series I've read. One thing I noticed was the story wasn't too original. Many parts seemed straight out of Robin McKinley's versions. Even so, I enjoyed this retelling more because it wasn't overly drawn out. I would have liked to have read more about the Beast and more about their (him and Belle) time together. If you're a fan of Beauty and the Beast this book is worth setting aside some time for.”

The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

by Emily Dickinson
- Rated 3 stars
“It has been a long time since I've read any poetry by Emily Dickinson. I decided to give his book 3 stars because this collection of poetry contains works about many of the subjects she writes about. The afterword by Drera Fried of Cornell University is worth reading because she (clearly) explains Dickinson's writing style, interpretations, and they way she viewed herself.”
