pickMagical worlds will always hold on me no matter how old I get, and Impossible Creatures was one I could not pass up. Books like this help us escape the outside world and sometimes find our inner child that feels like it has been lost forever. This book is beautifully illustrated, the characters are unforgettable, and the author has a section at the end that lets you know the magical creatures better.
Book haul! 📚📚📚
I have absolutely fallen completely head over heels in love with the tagged book! It's so beautiful and whimsical! Plus it has gorgeous illustrations and lovely end papers too! 😍
pickA boy discovers a world hidden from our own, full of mythological creatures and a flying girl in peril in this middle grade fantasy. The hype for this is so high! I liked it but didn‘t love it, and I‘m not sure why…Was it too plot-driven rather than character-focused for me? Was it unexpectedly dark and yet not serious enough for me? Or is my shriveled old heart not fun enough for middle grades anymore? Was it the hype itself?
pickKatherine Rundell has been one of my favourite authors for SO LONG and I hadn‘t read one of her books in a while so I thought “maybe I‘ve outgrown her”. NOPE. Still love it. Lover her writing style and the way her characters truly seem alive. It took me a while to get through due to outside circumstances but each time I picked it up again it was so easy to get into it again and I‘m overall so glad that I stuck with it!
