A Conjuring of Light | V. E. Schwab

Pickpick

I finally finished this last night. I'm still a bit broken. I took my time with it, because I wasn't ready to be finished with this trilogy, I'm still not ready, this world has so much potential, I hope V.E. Schwab returns to this world at some point. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Harry Potter | JK Rowling
post image

It's been 20 years since Harry Potter first came out, these books have impacted so many people. They certainly were a big part of my childhood. I remember making parchment to send messages, I made my own house badges and bookmarks. I remember waiting with excitement for the next book. Still at 23 years old, I love the wizarding world. 💛

I finally read this and I loved it so much! It has some great diverse representation, including a f/f romance that I adore, and the magic system and world building were fantastic! I can't wait to see what happens next because I am certainly not ready to leave this world. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

TieDyeDude I usually don't seek out YA titles, but if I could find more like this one, I'd make the effort! ☺️ 7y

This book really lives up to its reputation. It's so powerful and covers such an important subject matter. I tabbed so many important quotes, it's the easiest five stars I've given in a long time. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Over the course of this series I have become very attached to these characters, because of this, I was nervous for this book. Not to mention extremely worried about spoilers. Thankfully I managed to avoid spoilers and found this to be a very satisfying conclusion. I couldn't put it down half the time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

I adore Laini Taylor's beautiful writing style, and to be honest I didn't want this book to end. The world is so interesting, I enjoyed every minute. This book left me devastated, I need the sequel with all my soul!

The State of Grace | Rachael Lucas
post image
Pickpick

This was a really quick read, and it held my attention well. It's ownvoices with an autistic main character, Grace, who is 15. It's sort of a coming of age story, following all the changes, politics and drama that come with being that age. It's a really worthwhile read, I gave it 4/5 stars.

I really enjoyed this book, I especially appreciated the way it shows what it can be like to live with anxiety - it definitely felt authentic to me. I also enjoyed the cute romance.

This book has become one of my all time favourites. It's a wonderful character focused story following a small multi-species crew on a long trip through space. I will forever be recommending this.

This book was a beautifully written tale of love and grief. I had heard it was emotional but I wasn't expecting it to make me cry as much as it did. I found it almost impossible to put down, it's still very fresh right now but I'll definitely be writing a full review soon. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tor UK kindly sent me a copy of Truthwitch to review and I found a new favourite. I fell in love with the world and the characters. I especially loved the magic system and the strong friendships between the female characters. I inhaled this book, and was eager to get the second book as soon as possible. I gave this vook ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm really enjoying this book, and I'm finding it difficult to put down, but maybe it wasn't a wise choice to read it on my lunch break at work, it's made me a little emotional 😢

Frogkisser! | Garth Nix

I've been a fan of Garth Nix's writing for quite some time now, and this latest release did not disappoint! It was such a fun read with fantasy and fairytale elements about a young princess on a quest to gather magical ingredients. I enjoyed every moment of this book and recommend it on anyone who enjoys fantasy, fairytales, nostalgia and of course Garth Nix's writing. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
