November TBR starring the Greek Gods (#Mythothon)

I'm in such a Readathon mood lately. I've failed some (witchathon, shame on me) due to a little reading slump, but I'm back in the game and going strong. This particular readathon intrigued me because it's all based on Greek mythology. I've always loved Greek mythology since my grandpa told me all the stories when…

Remember remember the 5th of November – (Late) eARC Review – Fawkes by Nadine Brandes

Fawkes by Nadine Brandes My rating: 3.75 of 5 stars This is a very difficult book to rate and review for me. I started reading it a few months ago and stopped because I didn't have any interest in it. I was also in a difficult reading mood so it isn't entirely the fault of…

Reading the lowest rated books (Goodreads)

I was inspired to do this by Lala over at Booksandlala. I loved her video and the idea honestly and it fits well with my other reading goals for this year (reading a lot of the books I've had for over a year etc). She decided to read the lowest rated books on Goodreads that…

Sheets – Review (Graphic Novel)

Sheets by Brenna Thummler My rating: 3 of 5 stars I wanted to read this because the cover is simply adorable and I love stories about ghosts. This is about a 13-year old girl who has it tough. She lost her mother and in some sort her dad, too. He went to a pretty dark…

Charms Extra Credit and the spooky – TBR

  Hi fellow booklings I know I've absent a little while and owe you a few wrap-ups and reviews etc. Especially the N.E.W.T.s wrap up.* In my September Wrap Up I'll talk a bit more about why I wasn't posting anything the last few weeks. *I don't know if anyone is still interested in that…

She Was the Quiet One by Michele Campbell My rating: 4 of 5 stars 'In a world of privilege, seduction, and manipulation, only one sister will live to tell the truth.'I'm a sucker for boarding school settings, so this one intrigued as soon as I saw it. It starts the first chapter/prologue with one twin…

N.E.W.T.s TBR (August)

So, if you've read my July TBR post you know I did my O.W.L.s in prep for August. You can check out that post if you don't know what I'm talking about, but I'll link the announcement video from BookRoast here. This one is way harder than the O.W.L.s naturally and my TBR is quite…

July TBR & OWLs (Late … again. I’m awful)

Why?? Why can't I post on time? Ever? But honestly, it's kinda my brand by now ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know how that happened, but I missed the OWL readathon by @BookRoast in April and since she recently announced the NEWTs readathon taking place in August (and of course you can only take the NEWTs…
