pickThe story jumps right in after the prologue without much character development, which made it hard to get into at first. I love a good story about deep family bonds, and all the magic made it better! Anne‘s self righteousness made me so mad at the end, she played just as big a part. Overall a warm, cozy read.

pickThe fae/gods/etc are a tricky folk. Yet another reminder not to make deals, wishes, or eat food from strangers in the woods! Loved the illustration style and enjoyed the hopeful tone.
pickGood book. Fast and enjoyable. I learned a lot.
panI found this really hard work to finish.
I like the witchy side of it, but the romance part got on my nerves.

pickBook #5 in the Glass Library series. Finally this is getting somewhere. My biggest gripe though is that it‘s such a ‘copy & paste‘ of the Glass & Steele series. However, I‘m really looking forward to book 6 when Matt & India show up.
One of my most obscure old favorites, because it never made it into paperback. (The library journal reviews weren't great, which makes me long for magic so I could go back in time and smack some heads.) It includes a series of many different kinds of magical adventures -- mermaids, pixies, witches -- but the chapter featuring a lonely ghost girl is truly... haunting.
