Review: Christmas with Anne and Other Holiday Stories

Christmas with Anne and Other Holiday Stories by L.M. Montgomery
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a collection of very predictable stories, but they were sweet. I got basically what I expected and wanted out of these short stories, which was to read something that was light and happy that could put me in the Christmas spirit. I always like L.M. Montgomery's writing, even if her stories were not really that unique or surprising.

Review: Percy Jackson's Greek Gods

Percy Jackson's Greek Gods by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The audiobook automatically returned before I was finished with it, so I had to wait a loooong time before it could be checked out to me again because there were a lot of holds. However, I just finished it. It is a great book to teach middle school kids about the Greek gods! So many of the stories are difficult to navigate with middle school students because of all of the incest, rape, and other content that many of the gods and goddesses seem to have participated in . . . However, Rick Riordan handled it very well and in an age-appropriate way. The stories were very funny since he used Percy Jackson's voice to tell them. I definitely plan to take a look at his version of Greek heroes as well. It was really enjoyable!

Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just re-listened to the book for about the 100th time. Still doesn't get old! I love the later books in the series even more, but this is pretty great! And Jim Dale is a genius as far as reading aloud goes. There just isn't a better reader out there!

12/9/18 - Another fun re-read! I can't wait until I get to the later books again!
