pickThere is so much to enjoy in this book. The First Nation perspective, the heroine, the magic system. I wish the plot was a tad more propulsive because of it's target audience. Nevertheless I do think this will be one that the sort of kid who reads Watership Down and Lord of the Rings at 11 will absolutely love. As an adult reader I enjoyed myself, which was a surprise because boarding school books are not my fave, I will read on in the series.
pickEvery now and then, I do enjoy reading Ruth Ware. This one was another eerie book that I indulged in. It's about things, that have the power to hunt us our whole lifes. Things, that change our lifes lifes. I loved how involved the baby was, which gave the story an interesting touch (poor little one, though).

pick#AuldLangSpine adjacent because @BookmarkTavern had the most recent in the series on her list and this book has been on my TBR since it came out. I loved the concept and the dark fairy tale vibe, along with a murder mystery, a ragtag group of misfits who are out to solve it, and some legit representation (romantic asexual protagonist! I‘m aro-ace and ace rep is so rare so I get excited). I only wish it was longer! Looking forward to the next one!
Just completed my first book for #Sharreadathon. I read this in high school but didn‘t remember much of it. As usual, I got so much more out of it as an adult.

pick5 ⭐ Every Heart a Doorway has a unique premise, relatable characters, exploration of identity, and evocative writing.
Every Heart a Doorway is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novella that will appeal to readers of all ages. It's a story about finding your place, embracing your true self, and the enduring power of hope.
panQuite possibly one of the stupidest books I have ever read. I should have bailed, but felt I owed it to the author to at least struggle through it. I skimmed the final 8 chapters, as it was too agonizing to actually read. Characters that readers won‘t care about, a storyline that is just a little too precious and obvious, and a convenient love story that is so forced. Save yourself from this book, it is, sadly, not worth it.
pickGreat middle grade adventure series starter. It ends on a cliff hanger. TW: it involves a bakery.
