This Episode of Emboss or Toss Gave Me My First Ever Reading Slump 😭📚

And oh my gosh, five stars. 100% five stars. And I again will be embossing this one.

I definitely preferred like the first half of this book. really appreciate the time and effort that would have went into this. All the research, all the cast interviews, all the crew interviews, everything.

And I am going to be embossing this. This was a fourst star read.

I didn't like it. I really didn't like it. I'll probably give it two stars though cuz I did like the start of it.

And I thought Monday's Not Coming was great. It was written so well and I can feel the great writing as well as Tiffany D. Jackson really having something to say about this and it's a story that must be told.

So, even though I've been like a little bit meh with a lot of middlegrade these days, unless it's like middle-grade horror, honestly, I seem to be really enjoying the more classic kind of middlegrades, which is so different to a few years ago when I read Peter Pan, for instance, and I hated it.

I did finish The Magic Cottage. I'm giving it two stars. I will be tossing it as well.

I read The Railway Children earlier this year, and I actually was so surprised by how much I enjoyed that one, too.

And I thought there were some other children's classics or The Secret Garden, hated it. Too many of them were a little bit too problematic for my liking, but every now and then there is a hit.

And I really like this. This was so sweet. And at the same time, like again, like quite sad just like the film.

Didn't really make me laugh all that much. There was like literally just a couple of times. It'll not be getting kept.
