Y is for You: An Alphabet Book for Toddlers and Preschoolers

Product Information

This does sound brutal, even as I write it. And I'm sure it's just me. But I just couldn't stomach how this book made me feel. I'm weary of all the garbage that is included in a book just to sell it. It is possible to write riveting, suspenseful, engrossing books without all the trash. But who am I to talk, I'm not a writer, just a devourer of good words. And maybe at my age I'd like to see more goodness in life and characters in books than to feel dragged down and discouraged by what I'm reading. William's wife Rosie - a restaurant owner who serves original (and odd) Hungarian recipes and cheap wine; An electrical outlet is a device that is connected to an electrical supply. We plug electrical devices into an outlet so they can receive power. Outlets are usually mounted on a wall.

I found it a bit too easy to figure out. I knew all the little rabbits before they jumped out of the hat. Sure, saints are supposed to be all good and pure, and maybe they don't usually cuss like sailors and drink like fish, but I think the Almighty will make an exception for me in this case. When I hit those pearly gates and Saint Peter asks why I deserve to get in, I'll just say, "I read the entire Kinsey Millhone series." And, then, those gates will open, the balloons will fall and glitter and stuff... That sounds about right, huh?You can read more about Y animal, Yellow Baboon on Sea World 4.

The old English sheepdog is an affectionate, long-haired dog that was originally bred in Great Britain.the whole Ana thing pisses me off to no end. There is such a thing as girl code especially among family. Are their only two hot guys in Santa Teresa? And Kinsey is just okay with it. Sorry, I call BS. And Kinsey kept going on about how beautiful Ana is. I think it's a slap in the face that HE couldn't or wouldn't do a thing for Kinsey but for Ana he finally maned up. And all Kinsey can say is Ana's more beautiful than she is. As if that makes it okay. I seriously lost all cool points for Kinsey. the teenage characters all sound like 30 yos. You can have one be so introspective, but not all of them. Brighten up your oatmeal with these Oatmeal Yogurt Cups!

This could have been much less interesting had it not been for the return of Ned Lowe, the bad guy from the previous book, X. Kinsey is still fairly young, but she seems more cautious than in the past. She is reluctant to carry her gun, and overall, she seems less sure of herself. I also wished for more of Henry and Rosie, although I have to say that I didn’t miss Rosie’s strange culinary concoctions or her bad wine. Once or twice is enough, thanks. The birthday party was a joy until, ahem, the interruption.

Personal computers and car phones were a thing by 1989, especially the wealthy. While the author might try to ignore technology, she can't. At least not in this book. It's conceivable that Kinsey doesn't have these things, but honestly we spent the entire book around rich, over privileged people. It would have come up, even if only in passing. There are lengthy bits of meandering in the story, and the book was really in need of some good editing, and IMHO about half the book is superfluous. If all five of the 2018 nominees were put in a ‘heap’, this would come out at the bottom. Three of the five books were excellent one was ok and this one is quite a burden to read. It even got me wondering who is it that nominates books to become candidates for this award, so I looked it up. It’s basically three people whom I had never heard of.

Grafton never wanted her novels to be turned into movies or TV shows. According to her family she would never allow a ghost writer to write in her name. Because of these things, and out of respect for Sue’s wishes, the family announced the alphabet now ends at “ Y”I always love visiting Santa Teresa and now in the 25th book this feels like such a real place to me with this town and this place that Kinsey calls home that I just would love to read about it for 25 more books. Overall, I will always love Kinsey, but the last two in this series have been a bit disappointing. Here's hoping that Z ends on a high note fitting our beloved heroine. When the cops identified the perpetrators, Austin fled town and disappeared; Bayard made a deal for his testimony; Troy went to jail for five years; and Fritz (the actual shooter) was incarcerated by the California Youth Authority (CYA) until he was 25-years-old. The series may be coming to a close, but Grafton constructs an intricate plot following two time lines with at least a dozen characters in play while rarely slowing the pace.”— Library Journal
