Yo. What did I just read? I was having such a great time listening to Stephen Fry read me a Sherlock Holmes novel and then the second half was a sexist, racist, anti-religious mess. If the other books are like this I don’t know if I’ll continue.

Very cute but lacking depth overall! I really enjoyed the first story but felt really unattached to the other two, so I really liked that we got a sort of epilogue for the first story!

Vol 3 might still be my favourite in the series so far just because I loved seeing the whole gang together the whole time and l forgot how many time jumps there were in this volume. But, I've officially read This Winter & Solitaire now so I finally see all the references! I love this mental health rep, especially from a male perspective, so I really hope we get to see this played out in the show!

I really enjoyed this one and I'm so sad I've heard literally no one talking about this! I loved the complex character relationships and themes so I'll definitely be recommending this in the future!

I don't know how, but I've just devoured this in one day and in only two train trips. This was a lot of fun and I'll be reading book 3 asap! 

 When I was much younger and first learning to read, I was obsessed with two books, they were called "Let's Get a Pup!" Said Kate and Max and they were both written by Bob Graham. I read them both every night until the pages got too worn to read and I still remember them now, over 20 years later. So, as soon as I saw Bob Graham had a new book out I knew I had to read it! 
This was such a cute story and I loved how it was so positive and all about embracing change and how the right people will support you in what you want to do! I hope we get to see this family again with their cute thunderbolt house! 

I mean, just from looking at the cover we knew this was going to be a banger, right? 
I absolutely loved the artwork and the colouring - it look fantastic and really showed the Australian bush in an amazing way! I can't wait to pass this along to my local primary school, I know the kids will love it! I especially can't wait for them to read the glossary and read all those new words!

Okay, so before I even get into the review just look at this cover! It’s absolutely beautiful! I love space books and I wish I’d had more books about them on my shelf as a kid so I jumped at the chance to review this one!

Everything from the endpapers to the message of this book was stunning! The artwork was amazing and I really loved learning about galaxies with Ada and Poobah, as well as visiting the beach with them! This was such a fun way to learn and also still be entertained by Ada and her family. I also really appreciated the note at the end talking about the Hubble Telescope and galaxies. If you have a child in your life, this is a must-have for their bookshelf!
