Maybe I missed it? What's up with the spaceships/aliens?

I really like Ron presenting quick book reviews offering some great suggestions of what to read next, but is it really necessary to have all that distracting sight and sound going on in the background? Just show the cover of each book and don’t treat the viewers as if children’s books are being reviewed for elementary school. Thank you.

To Paradise looks like an interesting book to read.

Olga Dies Dreaming is an excellent book, I highly recommend it!

Abruptly noisy UFO, startling.. That has to be the worse seque I've ever seen/heard.

Annoying presentation. WTH was all that noise and floating aliens about? This is a good idea for a feature but I didn't learn anything about the books that makes me want to read them.
