Here at Chapter Break, we don’t always write a full review of every book we read. Well, now we decided to do these monthly wrap-up posts with roundups of our reviews this month and mini-reviews to fill in the gaps. Enjoy!
And don’t forget to check out the full reviews listed at the end.

My son just had his birthday and he was counting down for a while so he could really relate to the book. It teaches counting from 10 down to zero (the birthday) and also shows how many tasks have to be done one a daily basis and as preparation for a party.

Kids everywhere are fighting bedtime stalling for just one more snack or drink, and that’s exactly what little bear is doing. A very relatable story for kids and moms alike. I also liked the facts about hibernation after the story ended. Lots of great facts and tidbits for a child to learn.

Would highly recommend. But only after you’ve read Fangirl and Carry On. These are a necessity! So great to find out what happens AFTER the Chosen One saves the world. Plus the interactions between Baz and Simon have all the feels. I wanted to highlight so many great quotes. But the scene that put it over the top was Simon, Baz, and Penny at a Renaissance Faire. That scene is a masterpiece!

But the finale? It’s pretty dang amazing. It’s dystopia at it’s best. Scary enough to make me wonder and hope. I had all the feels while listening. There was even a moment when I yelled at my book! I did struggle with following the timeline at the beginning. It hops around a lot, which poses problems when I’m only kind of listening\paying attention. Highly recommend this!
