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 Tanglewood Bookshop book review

This was my first Christmas read of the Year and it was a great one to kick off with. Once I was hooked I couldn't stop reading and ending up binging almost 200 pages in one day. I loved so many of the characters and the setting was so cosy, and ideal for a book lover. The Tanglewood Bookshop follows Kazz who on the same day learns she has lost her job, is being evicted and her mum is moving to Spain so she decides to visit her best friend who owns a Tea Shop in the small Welsh village of Tanglewood. Where she is given the chance to open a Bookshop and meets Saul who is happy to show her around but she has been told doesn't have the best reputation. This was a fantastic cosy Christmas read and it included so many things I love about festive books. The characters were the ideal book lovers to follow and as a book lover reading about book lovers is always a great experience. It was also nice that compared to many other book lovers whose lives revolve around books (which...

The Coast is Clear book review

The Coast is Clear follows Izzy, a 26 year old widow with two young boys, who is ready for a new start so moves to live near her brother Luke. With Luke's help she finds the ideal house for her and her young boys, the owner, Zander, being her brother best friend and she finds that she begins to fall for as they spend more time together. This was a quick read that I couldn't put down and found to be really heartwarming. I couldn't put it down and wanted to continue to read about these characters who I really loved reading about. Izzy and Zander were both well developed and complex characters who understood each other really well and were characters that I wanted to learn more and more about and found their backstories to be well built into the plot and not just there for the sake of the characters having some dramatic backstory. Izzy clearly always looked out for the boys best interests and doing her best to create the best environment she could for them. Her grief was ...

Make My Wish Come True book review

I have been a massive Rachael Lippincott fan for almost 4 years and always get so excited when she announces a new YA book. I was especially excited when she announced this one as it is a festive romance and I am also a festive romance lover. This was a book I read throughout December and absolutely loved doing so. The romance was brilliant and included all the festive feels which I always look for in a festive book but isn’t always delivered on. Make My Wish Come True follows Arden, a teen actor, who is determined to get a role so with her publicist lies that she is dating her childhood best friend, Caroline, who agrees to play along and write an article about their twelve holiday dates. However, as they begin spending time together again, old feelings begin to resurface. Even while I read less and less YA romance as the years go by, Rachael Lippincott (and Alyson Derrick now) is an author I can always trust to deliver on the romance in a way that I enjoy and a...
