We Didn’t Need the “Cursed Child” Book

February 15, 2022February 12, 2022Leave a comment

We needed a book about the Marauders and their time at Hogwarts, along with Lily Evans and Severus Snape. A series about them would be fantastic, of course, but I would've even been happy with one book. And I'm not talking about a play or script to a movie published as a book. Fantastic Beasts … Continue reading We Didn’t Need the “Cursed Child” Book

January 2022 Wrap Up

February 3, 2022February 3, 20221 Comment

Is it me, or did January seem to last a long time? I feel like all January's feel longer than 31 days. It's weird. On one hand, it makes it easier to read more books in the month. Especially if they're shorter books. This month was about average for me, reading wise, as I read … Continue reading January 2022 Wrap Up

Happy #FantasyFriday! What is one of your favorite fantasy books/series?
Took me a while to read this one because I was in a sort-of depression, but I got through it and enjoyed it. Now that I’m feeling a little more like myself, I’m getting reviews back up on the blog and the review for As If On Cue is up now!
I’m already loving Last Chance Books, and I wish I didn’t have work today so I could just keep on reading! 🤓
Who’s one of your auto-read authors? So far, I’ve loved all of Jennifer E. Smith’s books (that I’ve read anyway) 🙃
Looking for a good YA mystery/thriller? Might I suggest The Silence of Six series? The two novels kept me on the edge of my seat and turning the pages to find out what would happen next.
Featuring yellow today because we’re having some serious summer vibes in CT and I’m not ready 🥵
