pickI have to admit I almost gave up on this one pretty early on, but I did stick with it and was great fun for having done so. It‘s different to most of the YA paranormal I read and I actually ended up really enjoying it.

pickIt's hard to divorce the background information about this book from the overall story, but I will say this was a delightful read. The protagonist subverts expectations and feels very refreshing to read. As this is a Pre-Tolkien fantasy novel it alludes to fey but they are left to the reader's interpretation. This had a very meandering pace with a pastoral setting, but it was to its advantage, like a calm walk in the park.
panThis went from a 4-star to a 2-star slowly but surely. I didn't hate it but there were a bunch of glaring problems with some plot points that made me scratch my head in confusion. The MCs remained stagnant in terms of character development which would have really helped with this premise.--
I'm about halfway through this so here are some thoughts:
I love the folklore stuff but I also wish the book kept focusing on that instead of side plots. I know it can get repetitive that way but I would prefer that tbh.
There's hints of MC being ND and thus making the hinted romance awkward and one sided. Not 100% sure its good rep
@Princess-Kingofkings thank you so much for the wonderful gift! I adore the book, and I haven‘t tried the sugar cookie Reese‘s cups, so I‘m so excited to try them! ❤️💚❤️💚
And thank you again to @bookish_wookish for hosting this lovely swap! #LCS #LittleChristmasSwap
so-soLora is still playing pretend and her friends are out growing that game. She meets Alexa, an imaginary friend/ghost. The story's theme is about being yourself, holding on to the magic of childhood. Graphics good, story concept good. Overall, a good read.
Cover got a few spots on #ISpyBingo !
Make a great day everyone 😊
This has been on my TBR wanna read list for a very long time. I‘m looking forward to this.
pickEven better than the first installment in this series. More action, the addition of of a faerie cat 🐈⬛ (Orga), and romance. Very enjoyable and I am excited to read whatever comes next.
pickEmily and Wendell and some new friends get into all sorts of fairy predicaments in the Alps! I‘ll be counting down to the next entry in February.
“The problem is not the packing, I admit; I simply dislike travelling. Why people wish to wander to and fro when they could simply remain at home is something I will never understand. Everything is the way I like it here.”
I feel ya there, Wendell.
