I have not done a throwback post yet, but I think it will be fun. And, as I am currently reading the BIG FAT Game of Thrones first novel, I won’t be writing a review anytime soon, so, here you go. Today, I will be counting down my five favorite childhood books until I was ten or twelve. Continue reading “Childhood Throwback: Favorites”

99 Days
What can I say? Loving it but hating how much it has affected me. I loved it and I felt with Molly and I loved Patrick and I hated Patrick. Katie Cotugno somehow always makes me fall in love with her characters and she hasn’t let me down so far, not after loving Top 10. Continue reading “99 Days”
My Plain Jane
I absolutely fell in love with My Lady Jane, which was in fact one of the funniest books I’ve ever read. But this is a different story to tell. Here are my thoughts on the sequel by the Lady Janies Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows. Continue reading “My Plain Jane”
The Penderwicks

The Penderwicks at last
If someone would ask me what has most influenced my early years (but I doubt anyone ever will), I’d say this family. I have been reading Jeanne Birdsall’s Penderwicks since I was five years old and they have had a major impact on my life. This is the reason why I was so enormously thrilled to finally see the fifth book in store!

Three years after the tragic death of her twin sister Iris, Bluebell Gadsby (13 years) is still filled with grief. With her parents always flying on business trips and her being invisible in school, not even her three siblings can help her get out of misery. However, it all begins to change with the appearance of her new neighbor Joss, who is in fact, not as bad as she thought he was. Continue reading “After Iris – The Gadsby Siblings”
