We Are All Greta may be a short book but it holds so much important information that everyone needs to read and fully understand! It lays out the issue of climate change out in a way that is easy to read and understand. Everything about this book makes climate change more personal and the changes that each person can make to help with combating climate change.

As a vegetarian that eats mostly vegan and loves pasta, this cookbook is a winner! I love that there are so many different ways that the sauce is made and doesn't rely on just one sauce that changes some of the other ingredients. There are so many different recipes that I want to try and I will definitely be buying this book for my shelf! I think this would be good for just about anyone because there are so many different types of mac that will be good for just about any tastes!

I would highly recommend this cookbook!

This cookbook is beautiful and has a good variety of recipes. It has a good variety of recipes that aren't ones that are found in most cookbooks. There are many recipes that I want to try because they have unusual flavor combinations that combine sweet and savory . I would recommend this cookbook for anyone that loves to try new flavor combinations. I think this book would be great for vegans and non vegans alike.

Review of A River of Royal Blood by Amanda Joy

A River of Royal Blood (A River of Royal Blood, #1)A River of Royal Blood by Amanda  Joy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


 Disclaimer: I was given an advance reader copy of this book via BookishFirst in exchange for an honest opinion.

I was sucked into this book right from the beginning and loved every page of it! It was different from my normal genres but I loved it. The world of magick that this story encompasses is enthralling and made me want to know more of this history of this land.

The rivalry that is created for the crown between Eva and Isa is part of a tradition that was started a few centuries ago that is meant to have the strongest queen and eliminate a future rivalry. However, it doesn't foster a loving environment for the royal family. With that said, I still loved every part of the story and want more of this story.

I highly recommend this book!

Review of War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi

War Girls (War Girls, #1)War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


 I was excited to receive this book because it is a mash-up of two genres that I really like, dystopian and historical fiction, although it felt as though I missed part of the backstory to this book.

I really enjoyed the part one of the book because it showed the family that is created within a war torn country and the little sanctuary that is created in the hopes of keeping them safe. However, once that sanctuary is attacked and Ify is taken to live in the Nigerian part of the country Onyii basically becomes a living weapon for the Republic of Biafra.

In part 2 of the book there is a 4 year time jump and the fluidity of the narration breaks down. At this point it became a slog for me to finish the book. I really wanted to love this book but I just couldn't. I also felt that there should have been a glossary for some of the words and perhaps pronunciations for the names, it would have made it easier to read.
