Pippa Park Raises Her Game by Erin Yun Book Review

Hi! I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Title: Pippa Park Raises Her Game Author: Erin Yun Genre: Middle Grade Rep: Korean MC Rating: 5 stars (*****) I grabbed this book as a read on Edelweiss + because I wanted to read E-Arcs. It drew me to the title of this book, and that it seemed like it would be a fun read. I have not read many books about athletes, especially sports playing such a big part in the story. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and learning about Pippa.   The plot of this story was something that took me by surprise. I’m not really a sports person, so I read this on a whim. What I found early on was that this was not just a story about a basketball player, this was a story about growth, change, finding yourself, and finding who your loyal friends are. The other themes of this book were family, earning money, and grief. I loved these themes because I feel like not only middle-grade readers, but anyone can relate t...

Top Ten Tuesday- New to me authors I read in 2020

Hello! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl . This meme is about bringing the book blogging community together and fostering our love of lists. Each week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will create a list based on that prompt. This week our topic is New to Me Authors of 2020. Luckily, Goodreads has our reading challenges, and I went back and made my list based on that. 1- Emma Lord Tweet Cute was one of my top ten reads of 2020. It was so cute and so much fun. I loved Emma’s writing; and how she brought the characters to life on the page. 2- Casey McQuiston I was late on the Casey McQuiston train. I read Red, White, and Royal Blue last year, and it was delightful. Her writing style is so much fun, and the characters she creates are so sweet. 3- Jenny Lee   Anna K was a serious and fun read. I thought Jenny Lee had the perfect balance of serious topics and light-hearted moments. 4- Marissa Meyer If you’ve been following my blog for a whi...

In The Queue Where it Happens

  Hi! It's been a few weeks, and I've actually got some stuff to share today. This post is what I call my other media post. I have a lot of things I watch, listen to, and play.  TV and Movies  I don't remember if I talked about this in my last post, but I started Julie & The Phantoms on Netflix. I'm very much enjoying it, and I can't see where the story goes. My parents and I watched a lot of The Mandalorian last weekend. Between Saturday and Sunday, we watched all but the last five episodes in season 2. I love it so much, and I hope it continues past the second season. The show is enough Star Wars lore to please Star Wars fans, but also you don't need to know Star Wars lore to enjoy the show.  I watched Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet last weekend with my parents as well. We loved it so much, and I thought it was so cute. I thought the internet part of the movie was so well done. One of my favorite scenes in the movie was the Princess sleepover....
