I haven't been buying all these things I'm reviewing. I've relied pretty heavily on my local public library. Give your library some love. Pay your taxes, donate (mine sells old books, you could donate those), call your legislator & remind them to keep funding public libraries.

Today's & yesterday's I found in the children's section.

Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi. The art looks like Copper. There's a reason for that.

I got Book One. Young kid fantasy adventure. Unfinished, natch. Lots of unnecessarily anthropomorphic automata. Disappointing to read the day after Whistle! which is reality-based & about hard work paying off. This is the opposite. Our protagonist is just handed awesome power.

I kind of want to see what happens next, but not enough to recommend the library get the rest of the series. Shame. I liked Copper.
