pickThis book reminded me a lot of the Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan (I‘ve never read the Percy Jackson series but I assume it‘s similar to Magnus Chase). It had that same adventurous spirit.
The world building was well done. It was easy to understand and follow. The book included a map, which also aided in comprehension.

pickNine is an orphan pickpocket who has been taken in by Pockets. He wants gifts from his crew every day. One day Nine steals a tiny house. Only it‘s starts growing and when she knocks at the door she‘s let in only to be told that the one that‘s knocks at the door will brake the curse. Nine might be in for more than she bargained for, for breaking a curse is never easy
This was a fun read and I‘m already waiting on the second book from the library
Our protagonist has discovered a cursed house and its inhabitants is going over the curses.
This is one of the last one, and I guess we all can relate to the horribleness of this
I have some time before the Rachel Cusk Event starts later today.
So to pass the time after work I‘m sitting in a cafe and has just started a new book
This prologue certainly pulled me in
This cutie was reading today. We got a new book from B&N yesterday. She squishes my heart. I love her so much. #likemotherlikedaughter
pickThis story was a good cross between Oliver Twist with dash of crazy magic and all sorts of craziness that you can expect. It portrayed that true family is not the one you get but the one you make, however crazy it may be. It even had a surprise twist element to the end which kind of fell a little flat for me but the rest of the book kept me happy. With this beautiful piece I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can't wait for the sequel
pickWhat do Cinderella, Harry Potter, & The Crowns of Croswald have in common? Awesome orphans, hiding away, & magic.
What is different?
Ivy Lovely is so much more endearing!!

“It wasn‘t like one of those scenes in a movie, where the princess floats lightly into the waiting hero‘s arms. I was more like an anvil that comes plummeting down on a cartoon character‘s head. I fell, like a graceful barbell, right on top of Neel.”
😆 made me chuckle.
