The Treehouse Library & The Last Bookwanderer joint review

I would review these two separately but I read them too close together that they blended together in my brain and I now can’t separate them but I did have a great time bingeing them.

These two books are the last in the Pages & Co. series by Anna James. I have previously read the first four and I loved them all so I had high hopes for the ending of this series because I did not want it to end on a low note with how much the series means to me and how good the previous books were.

This series follows Tilly Pages and her friends as they discover bookwandering and save it from people who are putting it at harm.

I don't read a lot of Middle Grade any more but when I do I always seem to really enjoy it and this series reminds me exactly why I love reading from this age range. It's adventurous, magical, has battles in it, and great friendships. I have recommended this series to so many in my personal life and I won't stop now I've completed it. I love sharing the love for these books especially since of a friend hadn't let me borrow the first book off of her I wouldn't have known about it at all.

One of my favourite things I love about this series is the characters. At the start of the series we are mainly following Tilly and that evolves so that by the time we get to these books we could follow many different characters. The Treehouse Library pretty much fully follows Milo who we get introduced to part way through the series but then The Last Bookwanderer follows many of the friends.

I love Tilly and her friends so much, they are a fantastic bunch and always there for eachother. I also love the adults in this story, maybe it's because they all love books but especially Tilly's grandparents who are there through it all. I like that quite a few of them do have their families discussed or have a stable home life because quite often in Middle Grade families are brushed over or dead.

The whole concept of bookwandering is something I really wish that I had the ability to do because it sounds fantastic. The magic in these books is really interesting to read about and the plot ALWAYS sucks me in.

I really highly recommend this series, I think it might even be my go to Middle Grade series recommendation, and I hope if you pick it up you love it just as much. A five star series all the way.

The Christmas Book Club book review

I read a Sarah Morgan Christmas book during Advent last year and as soon as I heard about this book I knew I had to read it and the timings for it worked out perfectly for me to read about 15 pages a day during December until Christmas Eve when I finished it. This isn’t a romance book as such but it still has all the feels that the Christmas romance books do. The story follows four different women and has their POVs throughout, Hattie owns the inn, and Anna, Erica and Claudia meet up every year for a book club holiday. There is such a cosy feel in this book and I just loved reading it. The friendship between Anna, Erica and Claudia is so strong and I’d love to have a friendship like that, they are there for each other no matter what and each brings something different to the table. They are all going through something during the book and need each other’s support and that support really is perfect. Also by the end of the book, they have all grown as people especially when faced w...

My Kind of Trouble book review

I found myself enjoying this read however the more I think about the more that I'm sure that there were things I think could have worked better for me and I find a 3/3.5 star rating is the right place to sit with my thoughts. I really enjoyed reading about the characters and seeing what they were going to do along with watching their romance develop as the story went on. I don't think I've really read anything like this before in a really positive way and there were so many scenes I had a great time reading but there were also parts that I wasn't so taken by and definitely wished had been done differently, and found to be sat in the middle of two different directions I would potentially have enjoyed more. I thought the con part would be good fun but in many ways I found that it and the romance were competing for page space with neither really winning. The parts of the con that we saw definitely weren't the parts that interested me and I would have either liked a...

The Dolls House at Wifell Farm book review

This is such a nostalgic, cute read that I couldn't put down and loved flying through. It reminded me of so many books and films I loved growing up and it is one I will definitely be gifting to young girls I know that can love it in the way I loved Rainbow Magic growing up. The Dolls House at Winfell Farm follows Laura’s dolls after she moves away to university and the dolls get moved to the attic, where they meet one of Laura’s other old toys and have to learn the importance of friendship, working together and standing up for what they believe is important. While this is written for a certain audience of children around the age of 7 I think that it can be read and enjoyed by those of all ages that enjoy a good story and want to be taken back to the magic of their childhood. I was hooked from early on wanting to know where Dani would take everything and how it would all end. I grew to really love the dolls and all of their different characters and personalities,...
