Erica Talks Books(and sometimes other things!)

Light and playful. I consumed this all in a single sitting.

An absolutely stellar book that champions environmental awareness. This whole book is incredibly educational and inspirational. My first thought when I started it was, “Omg, I might have missed my calling in life as an environmental engineer.”

This is an epic adventure story that really celebrates and acknowledges the strength and tenacity of women.

Wowza. This book was intense. It is filled with female rage and tackles some hard topics. It is a fast, intensely visual story—the imagery layered and vivid. Beautiful in a very disturbing sort of way.

A sweet, cozy fantasy with a happily-ever-after ending.

So much wow! I can hardly form words right now, because my mind is still reeling from this book. The series started out strong and ended even stronger!

I didn't love this one.

Outlandishly quirky, in a charming sort of way. Fast paced. Tons of action. And plenty of whimsy.

This book is a simple celebration of autumn. The fantastic art really carries the story with both its accurate portrayals of fall and the animated expressions of the characters.

Omgz! The cliffhanger ending! I need more now!

I love the aesthetics on this one—everything from the page layout and colors to the font and illustrations. Such a gorgeous treasure.

I love how environmentally conscious this book is. And it is so refreshing how the grandma in this story is portrayed as strong and actively adventurous, rather than simply old and frail.
