The Looking Glass by Janet McNally Review

The Looking Glass by Janet McNally ★ Slyvie is trying to carry on her older sister Julia's impressive legacy, after she disappeared. When Slyvie mysteriously gets a copy of her and Julia's favorite fairy tale book, Slyvie begins to see her sister everywhere she goes. She starts to believe she may be losing her grip on reality, but Slyvie has to find out if the strange, almost magical things she's been seeing have anything to do with Julia's whereabouts. With the help of her best friend's brother, Slyvie sets out to the beat of a Fleetwood Mac playlist, determined to return to New York with her sister in tow. Slyvie doesn't expect to learn that trouble comes in lots of forms and that the damsel in distress is often the only one who can save herself. I thought this book was going to be contemporary with more of a magical touch, but I feel like was mostly a contemporary about a ballerina who goes on a road trip to find her sister, whom I assumed was dead...

August Book Haul

Made You Up by Francesca Zappia I'd been looking for this book everywhere to find a cheap hardback copy, so eventually I bought one for $7 and I got the book, but it didn't have the jacket which they forgot to mention, so I returned it. That next day my thrift store was having a 50% off day and I literally found this hardcover book, with the jacket that ended up being $.90, which made my month. .................................................................................................................................................... Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver I also got this book for $.90 and it is a hardback, I was so happy to find this book as well! .................................................................................................................................................... Requiem by Lauren Oliver Another book I got for $.90 and this book completes my Delirium trilogy book collection!! I couldn't...

Sea Witch by Sarah Henning Review

Sea Witch by Sarah Henning ★ Every since Evie's best friend Anna drowned, Evie has felt like she was missing a part of her, without her best friend by her side. A girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears offshore, Evie is convinced her best friend survived, though her new friend denies it. As the two girls catch the eyes and hearts of two charming princes, Evie believes she might have a chance at her own happily ever after. Her new found friend has secrets of her own, she can't stay in Havnestad or her on two legs, unless Evie finds a way to help her. Now Evie will do anything to protect her friend, harnessing the power of magic, her ocean and her love until she discovers too late, the truth of her bargain. I expected this book to a lot darker, I mean the title is literally sea witch, and most of the book was just Evie and Annemette(Anna) going on dates with princes, sleeping, and talking about the princes. A good author should be able to tell the story w...

The Museum of Us by Tara Wilson Redd Review

The Museum of Us by Tara Wilson Redd ★ Sadie loves her rocker boyfriend and best friend Lucie, but no one comes close to her hero, George, her secret. When something goes wrong and Sadie is taken to the hospital calling out for George, her hidden life might exposed.  That description is gives you a completely different impression of what you think the book might be about. It was not anything like I was expecting. I thought it would be a best friend or even another world she might be a part of, but it was not. I felt like this author tried so hard to make this book heart-rending, but in the process of doing that, it shows that she was trying extremely hard to make you feel for these characters. I think if every chapter wasn't trying so hard, it would've been easier to like or even feel sorry for these characters. Henry is Sadie's boyfriend and Lucie is her best friend, both of whom we have no backstory or know anything about them, yet we're supposed to ...

August Wrapup

The Last Namsara by Kristen Ciccarelli ★ ★ ★ I felt like the book kept going on and on,  I started to lose interest half way through the book. I did like the dragons, who doesn't like dragons? I just wish this book had ended before some major parts happened, leaving me waiting for the next book. ............................................................................................................................................ All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven ★ ★ ★ ★ This book destroyed me. T hese two had problems with mental illness, and they both struggled with them in their own way, which broke my heart.  ............................................................................................................................................ Oh My Goth by Gena Showalter ★ I won a Goodreads Giveaway for this book and I have to say, this book is extremely cliche. I feel like there was no actual meaning to...
