Publication Date: April 27, 2021
What the Book is About:
Juliet was asked to be a seat filler at an Awards show. Little did she know, she would be asked to sit by the most famous guy, Noah! When she acts like she doesn’t know him and just does her job for the night, she is surprised to be connected with Noah after. Will they find love? Will he help her come out of her shell?
What I thought of the book:
This was such a good love story. I finished it in one day bc I just wanted to find out what happens at the end!!
I really liked bc the main character has anxiety. The author shows her anxious not in a sad or laughable way. But, in a way that shows how an adult woman would be nervous at times. I would recommend this book to all my friends.

117. Mad for Ads
Mad for Ads By: Erica Fyvie
Netgalley Arc
Publication Date: May 4
What I Thought of the Book:
I dont really know what age group this book would be for. The pictures are so colorful and huge but the content is too much at a time. It has so many things to learn about, I feel like the author should have chosen onky half of them. I think that all about having a footprint and helping children know what they go on, on their phones and computers, that people can be watching them. I did like the reminder of the supermarket aisles and how the lowest priced foods are at the bottom.

The grandson whale is constantly asking his grandfather for a story. The pictures make you feel like you are slowly moving through the water with them.
