    By J.K. Rowling

    Have read this so many times and it never gets old.

  • A Darker Shade of Magic

    By V.E. Schwab
    3 stars

    Not my favourite but I love her writing style.

  • Paris: The Memoir

    By Paris Hilton
    4 stars

    All over the place writing wise. It works well though for the message it's trying to sell.

  • I'm glad my Mom died

    By Jeanette McCurdy
    4 stars

    Interesting biography! Shocking content but accessible due to the first person lens.

  • Tikanga

    By Francis Tipene

    This is an entertaining, informative, and enriching book. I’m grateful to the Tipene’s for sharing their knowledge.

    Beautiful writing! I loved this!

  • Addressed to Greta

    By Fiona Sussman
    5 stars

    Ultimate feel good book. I loved this!

  • Ruthless Vows

    By Rebecca Ross
    5 stars

    Just as good as the first book. It’s great seeing the perspective from the gods.

  • Divine Rivals

    By Rebecca Ross
    5 stars

    I held off starting this book due to the hype. It didn’t disappoint though. It was more YA than Ross’ other books but still very enjoyable.

  • The Queen’s Resistance

    By Rebecca Ross
    4 stars

    A satisfying end to the duology.

  • The Queen’s Rising

    By Rebecca Ross
    4 stars

    Not quite as magical as her other series. It had a lot of twists and turns. Overall I really enjoyed this!

  • The Ballad of Never After

    By Stephanie Garber
    4 stars

    This is definitely the middle book in the series. There were lots of questions left unanswered. Really great twist at the end. Overall, the world is immersive and the characters are believable.

  • Under a Dancing Star

    By Laura Wood
    5 stars

    Sweet, light, and romantic.

  • Sword catcher

    By Cassandra Clare
    3 stars

    Great premise but very long winded. I wish she was more gutsy with the characters and allowed them to be more flawed.

  • A Dress of Violet Taffeta

    By Tessa Arlen
    5 stars

    Based on the true story of the designer behind Lucile ltd. The language used to describe the story, and most importantly the dresses, is divine.

  • Longshadow

    By Olivia Atwater
    3 stars

    Slightly more gothic in style than the first two of the series. It doesn’t have the same charm as no. 1. Still an enjoyable read.

  • Ten Thousand Stitches

    By Olivia Atwater
    3 stars

    Not as good as the first book. The love interest is less believable. The world is charming though and there is a light magic system that isn’t overbearing.

  • Half a Soul

    By Olivia Atwater
    5 stars

    Loved this sooo much! Pride and Prejudice vibes but with a light fantasy element.

  • A Curse of True Love

    By Stephanie Garber
    3 stars

    Much better than the second book, but still not as good as Ballad of a Broken Heart.
