my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 This YA book is a retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo from a female perspective. I devoured this story because I enjoyed it so much. It is based on a revenge plot that came together beautifully. The writing is great and the word economy was on point. I enjoyed the twist and turns in the plot. The characters are unique and a breath of fresh air. The main female protagonist was smart and self sufficient. This is the fresh read I didn't know I needed. Overall, reading the book was well worth the time. I gave it 3 1/2 stars because I wouldn't reread it but I would recommend it to a friend.

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was awesome. Fae, magic woods, folklore, everything fantasy lovers can appreciate. Isobel is a talented painter tasked with painting dangerous beings. Isobel meets Rook, a Fae prince, who kidnaps her to take to his kingdom. Along the way, they meet obstacles and they must work together to survive. This story was everything I wanted in a fantasy book. I wanted a magical, dangerous adventure and that's exactly what I got. I loved Isobel. She is well rounded, intelligent and down-to-earth. Rook was fun, arrogant and seductive everything a Fae prince should be.  I gave this four stars because I would easily re-read it and suggest it to a friend.

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As we all know, "adulting" is hard and Sarah did a great job of capturing that on paper.  I enjoyed this so much. This is a series of comics that explain all the ironies of "adulting." The art is simple but fun. The comics are short and quippy. I laughed out loud so many times. If you need a break from the norm, just pick this up. It's a quick read and great break from the norm.  I gave this 5 stars. I would for sure recommend this to anyone and everyone and I am already considering rereading it.

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gigantic thanks to Frost Kay for this e-book in exchange for an honest review.  It's no secret that I love Frost Kay's writing and again this book didn't disappoint. I read this story when it was released as a series of novellas and I really enjoyed reading them again. One thing I love as a reader is being able to tell when a writer had fun writing a book. Frost Kay had a blast writing this story because that energy is translated on the page. The whole story is high energy, the humor is laugh out loud funny, and the characters are super lovable. This was just all around a fun read. If you need something that will lighten your mood and warm your heart this is for you.  I gave it 4 stars because I would reread again and recommend it to a friend.

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huge thanks to DC Comics and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. First off, can we just appreciate how gorgeous this cover is? It's beautiful! That same artistry carries throughout the entire comic. I loved that the artist used a simple but elegant color palette to tell Dick Grayson's story. I am a huge fan of the Batman series so I eagerly anticipated getting my hands on this and it definitely didn't disappoint. I loved reading about Robin's story and his life before he was Batman's trusty sidekick. There's magic, there's tragedy, a circus and, of course, there's the Flying Grayson's. There's not much more you could ask for in a story. This was wholesome, gut wrenching and addictive. I immediately connected with the characters from the first page and I couldn't stop reading. I swallowed this in one sitting. I gave this 4 stars because I have all intentions in continuing in the series and r...

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ O.W.L.s read to fulfill Divinations or a book that is random on your to-be-read (TBR.) This story is a fantasy novel that follows the cunning, ambitious Alessandra as she manipulates her way into the castle of the Shadow King. The plan is to seduce him, marry him, kill him and claim his kingdom for herself. However, things don't quite go as planned. Slytherin romance is how this description is given and it lives up to it beautifully. If you are looking for morally grey loveable characters this book is for you. This book is a simple read that is well written and contains a refreshing plot line. The characters were intriguing, dynamic and developed well throughout the story. My favorite character was the Shadow King. His character was deep and multilayered. I easily fell in love with him along with the main female character. I loved the female protagonist; she was unapologetic with a no-nonsense attitude. All this put together made for a great read tha...

I have completed some books for my OWLs! Yay! So far I have completed Charms or book with a white cover. This was my selection for one subject of my choosing. Next, I completed History of Magic or a book featuring witches or wizards. Last, I'll need Muggle Studies which requires a contemporary book. I haven't chosen one yet but it'll be coming soon. This will be my last subject and then I will be done! YAY!  How is everyone doing this season? Did you pass already? What are your book choices?
