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 Match book review

Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it. The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family. This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

The Mistletoe Motive book review

I discovered Chloe Liese for the first time this year and have since May read her entire backlist and loved all of them. The Mistletoe Motive was no exception to this and another one I read within 24 hours. Over the course of The Mistletoe Motive we get to know Gabrielle and Jonathan who have worked together at Bailey’s Bookshop for about a year but don’t find themselves getting along. They have recently learned that the bookshop is at risk of closing though and set a challenge of whoever sells the least books in December has to resign and through this challenge Gabrielle meets a new side of Jonathan that she didn’t expect. This is a novella of under 200 pages so while going in I knew I love Chloe Liese as an author I wasn’t sure what I would think of it with it being so short and having less time with the characters. However I was not at all let down by this book and absolutely loved reading it. Gabrielle was a character I connected to from early on in the stor...

It Only Happens in the Movies book review

I have previously loved Holly Bourne books but found that I wasn’t the biggest fan of the one I read in 2024 so was a bit anxious going into It Only Happens in the Movies however I had no need for that anxiety because this book was exactly what I wanted and more. It Only Happens in the Movies follows Audrey who is over romance after her parents divorce that has left her stuck in the middle, a tough break up and teenage friendship struggles. When she starts a new job and meets Harry, Audrey tries to stay away however she can’t help falling for him even if she knows she shouldn’t. When I first started I was unsure about the book with the elements of romance however I was pleasantly surprised. Holly Bourne built up a character who I understood and felt relatable. The book had the expected message present in almost all Holly Bourne books which made the story more impactful and me wanting to keep reading to see how things worked out. All the characters were well-deve...
