The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

July 6, 2020July 3, 2020 / Leslie / 11 Comments

I had been seeing this book all over the place and it's for a good reason. The story inside is just as beautiful as the cover. Linus leads a very solitary life. His life is pretty much the same thing over and over and nothing changes. He likes it that way. One day, this all … Continue reading The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill

May 30, 2020May 24, 2020 / Leslie / 1 Comment

I really enjoyed the writing style in this book. It was so magical and so lyrical. It really felt like a fairy tale of old. I enjoyed this aspect very much. I really liked the story and thought it was interesting. There were times though that this book was really slow. It took so long … Continue reading The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill

Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson

April 10, 2020April 4, 2020 / Leslie / 7 Comments

I loved the fact that this book is a standalone! It was a surprise to me but a good one. During my Owlcrateathon, I read so many new fantasy series that this was what I needed. I loved the characters so very much! I think that Silas might have been my favorite. Elizabeth was like … Continue reading Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson

Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie McLemore

April 6, 2020April 3, 2020 / Leslie / 4 Comments

Well I am really disappointed in this book! It is really one of the most beautiful covers and I was hoping the inside would be the same. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Most of this book was really confusing. I was trying to figure out what exactly happened or what it all meant. These … Continue reading Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie McLemore

O.W.L.S Readathon TBR!

April 1, 2020April 5, 2020 / Leslie / 2 Comments

All the information can be found here.. Magical Readathon. This will be my first year participating and I'm really excited! I can't decide between a Herbologist or a Librarian. They don't have any overlapping prompts, so I need to read at least 8! I might just do all of them, if I have others that … Continue reading O.W.L.S Readathon TBR!

All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace

March 31, 2020March 28, 2020 / Leslie / 9 Comments

I think it's time for me to accept that OwlCrate knows what they are doing with their book picks! A lot of them, I'm think I wouldn't like it but I've ended up loving them. I really enjoyed this one too! At the start, I did have trouble really connecting with Amora. She was really … Continue reading All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace

House of Salt & Sorrow by Erin A. Craig

March 28, 2020March 28, 2020 / Leslie / 2 Comments

This was a really strange read. I was a bit confused with a bit of the story and it lost my interest at times. I was totally surprised about how things were done but not who did it! It's kind of a magical murder mystery. I did not realize it was a retelling until after! … Continue reading House of Salt & Sorrow by Erin A. Craig

City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty

August 27, 2018August 24, 2018 / Leslie / 12 Comments

I've had so many people recommend this book and I finally got to it! I totally understand why so many people loved it because I did too. Chakraborty did such an amazing job with the world building in this book. I mean the descriptions are amazing and her writing was beautiful. I was sucked into … Continue reading City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty

The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

August 6, 2018August 2, 2018 / Leslie / 11 Comments

I was extremely excited to get my hands on this! I have been seeing this all over the place. This book is quite a monster, in the fact that it is dense. It is a slower read because there is just so much information. Personally, it was on the verge of being too much. It … Continue reading The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi

July 27, 2018 / Leslie / 12 Comments

Okay, I'm prepared that I'm going to be in the unpopular opinion. I struggled with this one. I liked Mini. I thought she was funny and really was the strongest of the two. I think she found some confidence and I was really happy that she did. I did not like Aru much. She was … Continue reading Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi
