We are SO INCREDIBLY GOOPED to be on the DEATH PREFERS BLONDES Tour! This book is by one our favourite writers, Caleb Roehrig, who fills our lives with murder, mystery and mayhem! This book is no different! We LOVED this high octane tale of drag queens pulling dramatic heists! Check out Jennzah’s playlist of songs […]
Happy Holidays from us at THE BOOK NUT. It’s been a bit quiet around here, due to holiday madness and life coming at us, but I wanted to pop in today and talk about a book I think would be the perfect gift for ANYONE on your shopping list this year. It’s no secret that […]
We are so excited to be part of the blog tour for OTHEREARTH by Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller. This is the sequel to the amazing OTHERWORLD, which we here at The Book Nut absolutely loved last year! Special thanks to RockStar Book Tours for having us! Title: OTHEREARTH (Last Reality #2) Author: Jason Segel, & Kirsten Miller […]
3.5 Nuts One day, many years after I thought the series was over, I found myself standing in a bookstore staring at the cover of Bunnicula #7: BUNNICULA MEETS EDGAR ALLAN CROW. I couldn’t believe it! My favorite kids series had another book! Of course I bought it immediately. BUNNICULA MEETS EDGAR ALLAN CROW is […]
5 Nuts You know that one kid that couldn’t tell the truth if their life depended on it? Meet Charlie, the main character of THE SKULL OF TRUTH, my favorite book in Bruce Coville’s Magic Shop series. I was the weird kid in grade school that loved Shakespeare long before most of my peers had […]
3.5 Nuts Of all the BUNNICULA books this supposedly final (another book came along years later) book in the series is probably the most forgettable. Yes, I know, sad right? But of each of the other books in the series I have very specific memories, moments that made me feel this or that emotion. This […]
3.5 Nuts *gasp* A Magic Shop book that doesn’t hit over 4 nuts? What is the world coming to? JENNIFER MURDLEY’S TOAD used to be my least favorite book in the series. Currently it waffles between this and JULIET DOVE, QUEEN OF LOVE. But when I originally read the series that book did not exist […]
4 Nuts When you think of young readers stories I doubt the first things that come to mind are Citizen Kane and Shakespeare. Nor do you likely think of ventriloquists or classic literature. And yet somehow Howe manages to reference all of these things in his direct sequel to HOWLIDAY INN. RETURN TO HOWLIDAY INN […]
5 Nuts This was my very first introduction to the Magic Shop series, and indeed Bruce Coville’s books as a whole. I remember sitting in my elementary school listening to my teacher read to me about a boy and his dragon. As I got older and read more dragon books, this was always the one […]
5 Nuts Of all of the Bunnicula stories in the main series and the spin offs this little gem, NIGHTY-NIGHTMARE, is my favorite. All of the Bunnicula books make great Halloween reads for kids but if campfire style scary stories are your thing, this is what you want to read in October. As per usual […]
