 Omg , I was abit scared at first to read something so ,, erotic with tentacles etc , but i did it and honestly it made me feel abit horny inside ... its the first book on this kind of sexual stuff so i was abit taken back at first ,.. but it made me smile and i loved the relationship between erik and lillian so much that i wanted to follow it to the end .. great short story , something very different to what i usually read for sure , but not a disappointment . Will read someting like this again, in the future for sure . great background and idea of theme of story . good for a short read to fill gaps in your reading schdule
4/5*

 Omg what can i say about this book of poetry , it was amazing , if you love mythology then you will love this book , if you love poetry , you will love this book .. exciting and descriptive in its words , i found that the lyrical verse with illustrations to match just added so much to the overall book and feeling .
The illustrations were so well done they were like paintings to my soul ,went great with the overall theme of the book and gave aweasome affect too , it really adds life to the book and the poems , ok this is a Greek mythology a kind of battle for dominance as this Enyymion the main character attempts to wake himself from an endless sleep that was over many years ,.. the poems really sing to me , as i read about greek dominance and all the gods and goddesses through out mythology in greek mythology . definetely a re read for sure . very inspiring indeed .  OK So if you like horror then you will love this short stories book , what drew me to this book is the illustrations by the author .. dark twisted and messy style paintings , loved them so much , i also liked the short stories , they were written well and they were interestiong , and not once did i want to stop reading it ... i was pulled along each page with some paintings and illustrations added to help with my experience in this book and give it that feeling that this author had given this book ..to be . Horricific .
My favourite story has to be i think (out of control) , it was a bout a game controller that came to life and ate the owner of the controller but not to much spoilers as you would want to read them for yourself . i dont uisually read books of short stories , so this one was one of my favorites . well done to the author , and his artistic accomplishmenet . 5* definetly definetly reccomend to any horror seeking persons  Jane is a witch , she is the 6th daughter of the 6th daughter , She is a good witch who wants to share her magic, by making potions and writing spells and sharing and caring for her community and friends , family and all magical and none magical beings . So she opens a magic shop but everyone is against her , including her familiar. I love how Jane perseveres and keeps trying and tries again and again , she doesnt let all the negativity towards her business bring her down and stop her dreams from happening , I also liked how she wouldn't take any crap from a certain someone in the story (a Dragon shifter) also im not to keen on romances so im glad it wasnt a romance story , this was a good read , not the best ive ever had but something i may want to read again . loved the cat character as well , but didnt like in the beginning when the cat is so against her opning the store in the first place ,. very negative indeed , but loved janes character the most .
 My Alien life was marvellous short story , it was about a young girl who's life was in turmoil, on the day of her fathers funeral her great aunt showed up ,and life again flowed along at a slow pace .
They had made a promise to each other , that she would look after the girl until she was 16 years old then she would leave this world . They had gone through a lot of stuff together gardening sewing , and talking a lot to each other , and they also nearly had to fight the government to keep this arrangement in place , but with help from the Deputy she managed to keep the girl and live happy for the remainder of time . This story was touching and heartfelt , and I fell in love with it , the meaning of family no matter how old you are , means a lot if they want to be part of your life . I will give this another read someday , as I feel it could be re read often . Family , love , rights , loss, help and tears , and a little bit of strangeness were all parts of this story . 5*and well recommended , loved it . Maria Preston’s review of My Alien Life: A Novelette | Goodreads  OK read this in one sitting , as usual it helps breaks up thick novels i read , and takes me away from more serious reading , it has helped me in a reading slump and giving me inspiration for my own writing of poetry . My favourite poems in this book are , end of death , None , and Hone , which i thing i could of said most of them in this book . But i dont want to spoil it for you guys out there , knowing it was a great read and exciting and invigarating in many ways , because unlike some poetry out there this was more stimulating and exciting , it was warmth on a cold day or a breeze on a hot day ... just wonderful , absolutely wonderful poetry , i have read in a long time , ALSO well written and the length was just right . 4*/5*  Ok i found it fast paced and the characters interesting especailly seba a very interesting courier , it wasnt my type of genre usually but i found he kept me in the loop at all times and i was pulled in when i thought it could not get more tense and exciting , the thrill of the chase , and the shooting i loved , i was sad in places after some deaths in the story , but i found the characters well thought out and the storyline was very detailed and seba definetly was my favorite character , i liked the fake reported . I loved how the author descibed the chasing through out the book and how far Kamal and Rahman would go to get there score . The chapters were not to long and they were well written .
a great read . yer , characters came to life as you read this book , there were some characters i hated and disliked throught especially towards the end like .But you just cant help but keep reading , i had to re read a few parts becuase i was unsure of a few things as i got lost on some pages , but thats my fault not the authors . I love Nigeria as the background for this story too . a thriller with a great story may consider other books in this genre from now on  i loved this Novella , it was fast paced and exciting , and it just pulled me in all the way , i thought the characters and there powers were well thought out , the enemies were different unique
The world building was amazing and storyline was one of the best i have read in a while , obvisously i need to read more of this authors books . But overall , one of the best novellas i have read in a while , basically “Private Royn Crowell, is a Senturians , but he has been sent to this outpost where he is treated like an outcast , and then is sent on a mission , just to get rid of him ,yes he will be able to use his powers , and more than one , he has been sent to find the disturbances in the forest , and was told not to come back until he had found it , or could prove what it was , not a simple mission , and now the smell of death and what he finds in the cave not far away from the people who have been slaughtered Royn must not only fight whats outside in the forest but everytime he goes back to the captain at the oputpost it feels like hes fighting him too , as the captain does not listen to him . and when its to late its a fight to the death as the Senturians fight unknow creatures on there doorstep , and not only them there are orcs and other nasty creatures to fight as well , find the truth of what these monsters are up to and how they stop them . 4*/5*  ok ,great read , id been meaning to read this for a while now , but just hadnt got round to it .
so the book , its one of those books you read that as soon as you start it , you are pulled into it straight away , a young girl , escapes the grasp of her con artist mother , she was also moulded to be a great con as well , for years by her mother , it is such a great story and characters are so well thought out along with the story line and the details make you wonder if the author was ever actually a con artist herself . Nora is put through test after test for her mother to con as many people as she can until her mother falls in love with the person they were suppose to con . after escaping her mothers grasp she has to put her true talents to work when the bank she visits is held up by bank robbers and she is held hostage , follow her through her expeiences and find out how she fights back gets her life back . As she has learnt so much from all the girls shes been , and she uses all of them when the time makes it impossible to only be one girl . great read , love the author . 5*/5* Ok , obviously I havnt done as much reading these past few weeks as i have wanted to do , and if you are like me , It makes you feel like there has been something missing , so at the moment I am still reading the house of spirits / and the girls ive been , these are both very interesting books so I am going to write reviews as soon as they are done , also , i read another small book from the author of the weilder girls , which was before the outbreak began i think , and this is what i am going to review today , i will also leave a link below , but i think i left link to this on one of the pages in this multi blog so please do check it out .
 Interesting looking cover isnt it , yes
I brought this book around 4 weeks ago maybe .. i like unusual or weird books and covers always catch my eye . This one i only brought for the reading side of it , and i am so glad i did , i loved it , its not a novel or novella at all , its about a woman who sits in front of a mirror to examine and meditate on her appearance or looking at her face . thats right she looks at her face for 3 hours and really gets to know herself and all her things she doesnt or does like about herself. she also tells stories about her life in between time stamps , its very interesting and i really enjoyed this book . i read in really 4 days , could have read faster but i actually was playing elden ring more than i should have lol . great read 5* as you know i rarely give 5 * to a book , but i have given 3 or 3 in the last year ,. it doesnt seem like much to you as the reader but .. this is alot to me . i wish i could type faster without making to many mistakes ,.. i think my fingers type to fast and leave things behind or miss them out alltogether , lol . i hope you all enjoy this book , i highly recommend it for sure .  A girl finds a tarot deck in the chokey after tidying it for the teacher , she ends up doing readings in the chokey for a few weeks until strange things start happening and when she reads for an x friend things go badly after and she needs to figure out how to stop these things and try and get her friend back before its too late .
All our hidden gifts was actually really good ,I loved the idea of the tarot cards and what was happening, and it was fast paced and interesting. I dont know if it was magic ..but there was alot of weird stuff too. Maybe another world .. like when Halloween is the time when the dead can pass through as the veil is thinest . Great book and can't wait to read book 2 which is on my shelf waiting . I would recommend , at least some knowledge of tarot , as there is a lot of references of the cards through out this book , but if you do not it doesnt matter ... but you willo probably want to look them uop . great read , and going to read book 2 soooooon . A darkly seductive mystery with a supernatural sting in the tail, the novel examines guilt, sacrifice and friendship and we found ourselves growling at anyone who interrupted us during reading. The best bit? It’s the first in a series focusing on four protagonists – Maeve, Lily, Roe and Fiona – who each learn they have an otherworldly gift. Read it now before it’s inevitably turned into a Netflix blockbuster 4*/5*  IF YOU LIKE A GAME KINDA BASED , THRILLER FANTASY TYPE OF READING THEN THIS WILL DEFINETLY PULL YOUR STRINGS .
Follow Beatrice and her trainee on a few quests and a raid , with a few bad turns in the story and in her marriage . but will she ever find the right trainee because she seems to have to keep on looking for the right one , but seems to be the way with her marriage , not the best relationship either with her husband having a few side dishes of his own , if you know what i mean .. Also a buff that helps you do what you need to do that beatrice makes, but so much more your see when you read this book , only a short read but well worth the effort . 4*/5* “Guild of Tokens is a thrilling and highly imaginative urban fantasy tale of adventure, secrets, magic, and betrayal.” – Whispers & Wonder  This read was more like a newspaper then a graphic novel ,it was ilike a magazine newspaper about boredom and finding ways to get interested in after school activities or hobbies etc , interesting as it was , and the illustrations were brilliant , i loved the colour scheme and the way it was layed out ,.. short and funny here and there , well worth the read , but unsure if i want to continue on with the others , 3*/5* but great for a quick read . thats another book off my challenge for this year .
 This is a beauitful story ,its about a princess whos sad and depressed , and her father the king worries that she needs to be happy so he decrees that any prince that can make her smile gets her hand in marriage , also the throne , not really thinking that sometimes you need to be sad , because thats just the way we are and, its just what happens to be what it is. she meets a kitchen girl and discoveries friendship for the first time and realises that every one needs to be alone and when you are a good friend will be there with you ehrn you mostly needs it . . i loved this read , its middle grade , but i love stories with emotion , .
stories that make you feel something . 4*/5* and this cover is beautiful .  ok , this was a short story , but i needed something to break up my other reads , something to bring me back to reality , this is a story of a mans wife who had died , and him and his 2 adult children coping with the afterwards of it all , it was sad but , realistic in its sentimental way , he was seeing quick glances of his wife , because he could not let go , but his love for her was what helped him get through the funeral , and after wards too . until not going to say any more ,.. Great read made me cry in places but thats what you need to read , after to much fantasy or dystopian reads . i would re read this again too . great read , like i said a short read but worth it .
4*/5* recommended . but not if your an easy crier lol this is a book that rings true for most older couples with kids , and it definetely hit home abit too .  Ok guys , I was very unsure reading this book at first because i have not read anything like it before , but i like distopian type themes , but am i glad i did ... its fantastic , and the story line is incredable, the characters are amazing , so basically a school of girls , and there teachers are in quarantine because they all have this things called the tox , which is basically changing their bodies somehow , and its the journey of 3 girls obviosuly the rest of the school as well . living with the effects of this ever changing world of the tox , mutating animals and people and with the closest dying and changing all the time, and fighting to protect one another , them in the middle and learning how to survive , in a dangerous enviroment , when slowly their lives and closing down around them and things just seem to get worse than better , searching for answers the girls find out secrets , and trust gets harder to chew , as they are there family , thats all they have left , they collide with truths and deadly decisions and think of what to do next . you will not be disappointed my friends ..
4*/5* Definetly recommend this book .  THIS WAS A SHORT READ BUT I WAS PULLED IN BY THE COVER ,.
if you like mermaids and this book will do it for you , a little creepy but , basically a sacifice to the sea , to a mermaid . i loved this book , i thought it was creepy just enough but not enough to scare anyone , especially when this is a middle grade , i would say 12 maybe . but even though im an adult reading it , i thought the wording was great , and a story like it was cut out of a big novel , and this is what happened in a couple of weeks here on this coastal fishing town . who would of thought that you are not safe if you hear her call .and its been happening for years . 3 /5 * would definely re read .
 This book may of been small , and not really a novel , but i found it so inspiring , colourful , and happy , the colours were bright and cheerfull and the illustrations were so sweet and of course so colourful , it just makes you read alot , its bascially explaining what it means to be a witch , and this coming from the author , in her own words , fantastic , and book to cheer you up , with illustrations to please any eyes upon looking this direction . you honestly need to read , and the cover is so devine . 4 /5 *
Just look at the art work .. love it  Ok so ive finished this beast , lol , and i loved this book , Magician . The characters are well thought out , the world building is amazing , there is just so much being described and the battles are aweasome .
Friends at the beginning of the book , how they meet , there are several stories of these people going on in the back ground, as the war is ever present in the foreground, we go off to read about characters and read what is happening where they are in the war and story . I love the story its an emotional rollercoaster , and the things that happen are so so wonderful or so terrible . My favorite characters are tomas , pug and Rowan and eventually others as the story progresses on through years , kulgan and tully and a few others i like . There is loss , death and enemies everywhere , new adventures and travel and magic to be discovered . I have not been able to put it down and i read at least 20- to -60 pages or so a day . Its an epic story and i really cant wait to read the next lot of books . I would definitely give this book 5 stars read Just for the worlds alone involved in this book and how everything comes together . Aweasome beast of a book 840 pages long and none was boring or slow that made me want to rethink this read Or continuing on with this triology and the series of 35 books that are all connected some how to the first book . So altogether a great epic read Took me a month to read .. just over 4 weeks and 2 days I even cried .. lol just amazing . A long war , a Magician, slaves , death , and royalty I didnt want to add to much as i dont want to do any spoilers .. i hope you all will enjoy this book too . Books that bring out emotions are obviously doing there job .  This is a wonderful story , i read to the little ones , its about aboy who wanted to be an artist and he spent most of his time , he drew and drew and drew and bascially still does . Definetly about not giving up on your dreams , which is so important for that age , always to be inspired by the people around and the talents of others , i thought this to be a lovely well wrote book , for kids , or parents to read to there little ones for inspiration and to inpire every little artist in some shape or form .
wrote and illustrated by Tomie dePaola 4 /5 * The+Art+Lesson.pdf (mrsmcpartlinsclass.com) I love reading to the little ones , and i always feel like im inspiring them for bigger things in there life . Books are a wonderfull thing . it is a universe of inspiration to read or get read to .  Reading this book was a rush of feelings and emotions , i had a roller coaster ride , and the 3 worlds you read about through out the book are well thought out and i fell in love with the second half of this book the most , because it was very poetic in the way it was written and the way i read it or listened to , the characters and world building were thought out brillantly , i loved the descriptive words and sentences through out .
Deffinetly one of my favourite book . If you like witches , dark forests , magic , and mythical creatures , and 3 stories at once with a hint of tense and twisted darkness as well , intwined in all of them . Then you will love this book ,. I loved the witch and the princess and the girl who dreamt of a door in the attic and spoke to the darkness there . it was a great and interesting read , with sadness and tense , but of mystery , You were always pulled back into it , and it was a fast paced read . i loved the characters , and the world building , i loved the overal setting of the storys told here .and i wouold give 4 out of 5 stars . just for the effort put in to this book .. loved it . Ok so i enjoyed this book considering it was like a game as well , sometimes i thought the clues were a little hard especially for a 9 year old , as its age range is 9- 12 .
I loved how you could choose your turns and choices in the book . you were basically thrown in straight away , deciding the path you wanted to take . I like the characters and the world we were in as well , the villan was good too , and the things you had to do to survive were great and gives you something to think about in this book , But sometimes you are thrown into a situation with not much information , and if this book is ranged 9-12 then im not sure they would be ever able to finish this story let alone find the ending of it all as well as you have to work out things to carry on , and find the next page entry ... But i do think a 14 to 16 year old will have better luck . great for teens , not so much for 9-12 . but thought through well , liked the different characters in this book, and twists and turns . 3 out of 5 * Hi people of the universe , and my fellow youtubers and bloggers and readers and anyone else that comes to my blog

I read it over 10 days , but i found it to be really fast moving and the story was well thought out , it is about a viking girl from A far away land , brought to a strange land as a slave, in a storm they land on a beach , the girl and her mother escaped into the forest , you follow the story of the girl Ylva and her adventure , of her survival , Revenge , friendships ,and other people she meets on the way , plus the fights she gets into with bears , and wolfs , people she saves and a mistake she has made that could cost her . where will this story take her , in a world cold and hash , follow her to where the norse gods take her . some great world building and character descriptions , would recommend to anyone who likes a fearless and strong female child protagonist . |
