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.

As Good As Dead short review

Image
  This is the third book in the A Good Girls Guide to Murder series and I was very excited to see what was going to happen and where it was going to go. This book also didn't disappoint, I didn't expect it to take the direction it did and there were some bits that terrified me but I did still rate it 5 stars.  I had so many feelings when reading this, I loved some bits and how the characters have evolved, terrified about what was going on and then heartbroken by parts of the ending. The characters have grown and evolved so much in this series and I love how much they have grown, I also hope they get a break after everything that they've been through.  This book took a dark turn and I can't say I didn't like it. I don't know if it was my favourite when it first happened, but the way it continued on and led to the ending I loved. I also loved how all of Pip's friends stepped up to help even if they didn't completely know what was going on.  That ending too

Fire by Kristen Cashore Book Review

 Fire by Kristen Cashore is one of those books that you miss once you've finished it. You miss the world, the characters, everything about it.  Even though Fire takes place before Graceling and in theory is its sequel it can be read as a standalone as none of the key characters are featured in Graceling and it takes place in a totally different part of the world.  Fire is a monster, more specifically a human monster, who is mesmerising for anyone who sees her. Meaning people who succumb to her appeal will do anything for her, leaving their families, jobs and even lives behind. Fire aware and afraid of her power hides away in a tiny corner of the world, that is until she is needed to help the King. If Fire wants to help save her country and undo the wrongs of the past, Fire must face her fears, abilities and a royal court full of people with a reason to distrust her. Fire is a book I wanted to re-read the moment I finished it. I loved being lost in the world and spending time with t

The Gossip Games book review

Image
This book took me by major surprise and I am so glad that I chose to read it because boy, was it good. I fell in love with this book, the story, the characters, the romance and nearly everything else that was included in it. The Gossip Games follows Gracie who has recently had rumours about her start-up after Dean, her best friend's brother, carried her up to bed and she’s not best pleased. This starts up a competition of sorts between the two to see who can one up the other in a game of flirting and fake dating. This book is a contemporary young adult romance following characters who are in their later teenage years at a private boarding school. The main characters in The Gossip Games are Gracie and Dean, as well as Zara, Dean’s twin sister and Gracie’s best friend, Jesse and Theo, who are Zara and Dean’s cousins, though there are a couple of other characters who feature regularly. I liked nearly all the cast of characters and if I didn’t originally like a character quite often I
