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.

Green Pieces: Green from the Pond Up

Green Pieces: Green From the Pond Up - A Cartoon Collection - Drew Aquilina Mildly funny, I say mildly because it took until the middle of the book for the strip to really connect with the animals and most of the strips in the beginning were just intro to the characters. Some of the animals personalities really shine but others were hiding in the background. I am not sure the characters are remember-able enough that I would search out this comic strip everyday.

I loved the artistry of the strip and and see the hard work put into it. I believe the same hard work was put into the writing but the writing is were it lacks a bit. I also feel near the end it spent a lot of time on one character (Raccoon) and I wanted to see all the character lives.
