Confuzzled Books

If you are wondering what kinds of books I review and events I host, this little section is the place to look. Books I love to read: Children's, Young Adult, Paranormal and Fantasy books. Books I like to read: General Fiction, Romances, Religious Fiction, Mysteries and Biographies. So those are the genres of books I will generally review. If you send me a book outside of those areas, I'll consider it, but it may not fit my tastes. Reviews will take about 2 months to post; I try to post them around the time the book is released. On giveaways: Sending me a signed book to give away on the site is a great way to get your book noticed. I do a "mystery book" giveaway about every 2 weeks, where I read the book and twitter about it without revealing its title, then reveal what I've been reading and give it away. The whole event takes a couple weeks, and I feature the giveaway book on my blog for most of that time.

Stuck in the Doldrums

Stuck in the Doldrums: A Lesson in Sharing- A Captain No Beard Story - Carole P. Roman Again we visited Alexander (Captain No Beard), his cousin Hallie and his trove of stuffed animals who in the world of pretend are all shipmates of Captain No Beard. Through each of the Captain No Beard books is a lesson. This third installment is about sharing and disadvantage of being too bossy.

Alexander tries to take over every step of the ship and tell each member they are doing things wrong and that he can do their jobs better. He realizes once he wants the ship to sail that he may need help.

The story is sweet and the art of the watercolor pictures are glorious. It is a great series that both girls and boys would enjoy.
