pickCute start to a series. The world building was its strongest feature. The MC was a bit annoying but he‘s also a 14year old boy so it felt fitting. Excited to keep reading the series to see how things progress!

so-soMachale begins with Bobby's adventures in a similar manner to the start of Harry Potter - our protagonist is young and naive, with little idea of what's going on jt ultimately he saves the day. Bobbys character is introduced as rather realistic, he's 14, annoying, and pissed about his life changing. Ultimately, Machale has a set up a really great character intro with excellent room for a development and growth arc.
I used to love the Pendragon series when I was in middle school. It's a really interesting read, and this cover fits nicely with the #CuriousCovers closeup prompt.
I know I‘m only about half way in but... I just don‘t really like it. I know, I know, it‘ll probably get better as time goes on, but Bobby The MC here is so 𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨. Argh.
The worldbuilding is actually pretty cool, although I feel like the author‘s kind of trying too hard to write it through a teen‘s eyes...
so-soPros:
-Fast paced,engaging read.
-Unique take on time travel.
-Likable side characters.
Cons:
-Definitely dated, I can tell it was written in the early 2000‘s. Given both the phrases and the technology used. So it could be off-putting for teenagers today.
-The author was trying too hard to appeal to teens at the time, so MC feels like a caricature, rather than a person.
-Questionable attitudes and statements made.
Reading for 8th grade and up.
#abookthatshouldbeadapted for #riotgrams day 22! I discovered this book at a school book fair in 6th grade and bought the first two. I ended up eagerly awaiting the release of the later books in the series with almost as much anticipation as Harry Potter. I would love to see all the different worlds brought to life on the big screen!
Back when I tried my hand at BookTube. This was all the books I read through in 2015 in video form. All the videos on my channel are weird and awkward. I never fully settled comfortably behind a camera lol. If anything they are good for a laugh! https://youtu.be/UsGKRPeRHek #YouTube #BookTube
so-soBobby's Uncle Press was always good for an adventure....until he transported him to another world where armageddon seemed imminent. Starts a little slow but gets better as you go. P.S. My poor dog had to go back to vet for a drain placement today. He has had a horrid week.
Love these books and those bookmarks! Wish I had the artistic talent to create something this beautiful. Thanks @OSChamberlain for hosting the #MoonliteCrafts1kGiveaway
