Hocus Pocus & The All New Sequel by A.W. Jantha My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book almost ruined Hocus Pocus for me! I literally had to rewatch the movie again right after reading to clear my head. It wasn’t terrible; it was just bad. It felt like the author had never written a

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins My rating: 4 of 5 stars If I’m being honest my expectations were average. I was really excited for the book but I didn’t expect it to be amazing. I don’t think it is possible for a prequel to ever be outstanding, from what I’ve experienced

Starsight by Brandon Sanderson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed. While the ending of this novel was magnificent, the middle was a bit slow and it took me a while to read because of that. Maybe, I’m just not into spy books as much if the main character isn’t constantly

The Martian by Andy Weir My rating: 5 of 5 stars Such an amazing book! Really, the writing wasn’t perfect, but the humor was FANTASTIC!!! That is really what did it for me. (Spoilers) My favorite time Mark almost died was probably when he was trying to make water and filled the lab up with

Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is an amazing kids book. Anyone who has read it before will probably agree. While I will acquiesce that the novel isn’t perfect, that doesn’t change the fact I think it is amazing. I also admit that my love for this story

Skyward by Brandon Sanderson My rating: 5 of 5 stars 2020 Reread:I love this book. There is no other way to put it. The characters are hilarious and lovable (even Jorgen), and M-Bot is the best AI out there. I totally forgot about the part at the end where he invents his own crazy battle

Harry Potter: The Prequel by J.K. Rowling My rating: 4 of 5 stars Man do I hate J.K. Rowling. Not only is she a homophobe but she writes books that are so good you can’t help but love them even though you hate the person who wrote them and she also likes to torture her

Magyk by Angie Sage My rating: 4 of 5 stars 2020 Reread:It was great to reread this. The book has some amazing twists and I love the part at the end (spoilers) with the dragon boat. Overall, a great middle grade novel. 2019 Reread:I don’t know why I didn’t like this book when I was

Geekerella by Ashley Poston My rating: 4 of 5 stars **4.5 Stars2020 Reread:So nice to reread this book! It was just as adorable as I remembered. I really liked how this time I understood all the Star Trek references. I think my opinion on Darien hasn’t changed; he is still my favorite character in the

The Fairy-Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley My rating: 4 of 5 stars 2019 RereadI can’t believe this book is so much shorter than I remembered. Its only 244 pages??? This thing only took me a night and morning to read, but when I read it when I was little, it took me a lot longer.
