Hey everyone I just wanted to come here and talk about this Webtoon series that I just finished, this was pretty much one of the first webtoons I ever read And it's really what got me into Webtoon I originally got into it because I only read comics and I heard it's a great way to read really short ones. So I downloaded it and this is what caught my eye I absolutely love this series and I honestly would read it again I really hope I can see more from the Creators KenneDuck & Gia! it was so amazingly well done and I hope to find more like this one.

Aquicorn Cove; Kay O'Neill 4/5

I don't really have much to say about this one since it was a really short book, I read it within a few minutes but if you love simple and cute art and under the sea creatures like 'mermaids' I would definitely recommend! This was honestly a really cool story and it has huge symbolism in it about our modern world so if you like stuff like that you should definitely pick this one up.

Btw this is the same author who made Tea Dragon Society

The Rema Chronicles; Realm of the Blue Mist; Amy Kim Kibuishi /5

From the very beginning, this honestly, immediately caught my attention, I really love it I really the story and all the mystery and magic! The main character is living in kind of a broken home where she isn't really happy but then she meets this boy who is mysterious, and magic gets introduced into her life I also love the kind of like mentality where everyone thinks her dad just died a simple death but she knows that it wasn't that simple and that there is more to the story.

I really like the design of the characters especially the civilians on Rema.

The Midwinter Witch; Molly Knox Ostertag 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hey guys! this is the final book in The Witch Boy series! As I have said in my other reviews I really like Molly's work and I love The Witch Boy series, so I was really excited to read this one, I thought it was really cool although I still stand by what I say I think the second book (The Hidden Witch) is my favorite one, I just I really love the story and I love the introduction of Ariel. I really liked the whole Winter Witch competition idea and I love how Aster competed. I'm not gonna lie I was shocked when Ariel competed as well, I didn't think she was going to, I loved where they added a new friend to the group, however, I really wish there was more to the story about Ariel's family, but it is what it is I really wish that there were more. 😅

The Hidden Witch; Molly Knox Ostertag 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the continuation of The Witch Boy, I really loved this one! I think this actually might be my favorite one, I really love the plot to this one it was honestly amazing, I really like Ariel she was definitely one of my favorites in this one, and it definitely got me wanting for more by the time I was done! I really love all of Molly's work but The Witch boy series is definitely my favorite.

Snotgirl, Vol. 2: California Screaming; Bryan Lee O'Malley, Leslie Hung 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oh gosh, here we are again, I really do love this series! This book was kinda 'spicy', not gonna lie I honestly didn't really get the Beginning I wanted but there was more information about the girl with the black hair, I really loved the scene with the ghost girl that was pretty interesting and mysterious, I really loved the colors in this, it's really amazing and well done and I definitely cannot wait to read the third one!

[avasbookshelf]

Nightlights; Lorena Alvarez 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐

This book was very interesting, to say the least, it's about a girl who loves to draw, and has a really big imagination throughout the book you find out that a girl she befriends ends up being a ghost. I can't really say much else it was a pretty short book mainly because it is a kid's book but I kind of wish we would have gotten more clarity, but hey I can't complain.

For me I feel like the moral of the story is you can't stay in your imagination forever so enjoy the time you have in reality.

Pilu of the Woods; Mai K. Nguyen 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Spoilers ahead

This story started off with a little kid named Willow, in the beginning, she seems to be a very shy kid and you come to find out that she lost her mom and is now being raised by her sister and dad, getting upset with her sister she runs off into the woods and befriends a girl who had run away from home, she tries to help her new friend get back home where it's safe. This book is very emotional and deals a lot with feelings, the artwork is absolutely adorable, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes FairyCore or kind of a sense of forest Aesthetic, I really enjoyed this one, it's a real slice of life.

[avasbookshelf]

Bear; Ben Queen, Joe Todd-Stsnton 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

This story starts out hopeful and cute, it started off as a seeing-eye dog named Bear finding his human companion but then as I got deeper it started to get a little sad as Bear was losing his eyesight, throughout the book, this dog goes on a journey into the woods to find magic so he can see again. Bear even befriends a real Bear 🐻 and tried to find his way back home this book is so heartwarming and cute I would definitely recommend this book just as a simple read.

The Runaway's Diary; James Patterson, Emily Raymond, Valeria Wicker 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

so I read a sample of this book a while back ago and I finally got a hold of it at my library I'm not really a reader of normal books I'm more graphic novels, so of course, I've never really read a James Patterson book, this one was absolutely amazing, this book is about family and losing loved ones, it follows a girl who runs away to go find her sister who had also run away a year ago, in the story she struggles to survive on the streets but also makes a friend along the way.

[avasbookshelf]

Mamo; Sas Milledge 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

if you love cute characters and magic, I would definitely recommend this book! It's filled with magic and some family drama, I think if you're a part of the fairy core scene you should definitely read this, it is so cute and filled with a whole bunch of magical things! I really love the plot and the lgbtq+ as well! It's so adorable 😍

DeadEndia: The Watcher's Test; Hamish Steele

I absolutely love the dead-end show on Netflix so when I found out they had a graphic novel I definitely had to get it and I'm so glad I did for as long as the book was for me it was really amazing it's also different from the show, a lot of the chapters are actually episodes in the TV show, but just how they did things are very different they did change a lot of things I think because the TV show is mainly for kids but in the book, it's not really centered for kids I feel like I mean they're not cursing or anything but they are acting more like adults, anyway if you love haunted things and magic I would definitely recommend this book it's definitely a wild one.

[avasbookshelf]

M Is for Monster; Talia Dutton 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

from the beginning, I absolutely loved this book. I always like twisted fairy tale stories and so this one was automatically amazing for me first of all I love the story, and it does have pronouns in it for the characters which I love 💕 it also has a lot of Emotion and heartbreak to the story, if you loved a different take on fairy tales like Frankenstein, I would 1000% recommend this story!

[avasbookshelf]

The Witch Boy; Molly Knox Ostertag 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot even begin to explain to you how good this book is if you love magic and symbolism. I would definitely recommend this book, especially for young readers because it was in the kid's section! But it is absolutely amazing it has shapeshifters and witches and the symbolism in this book is fantastic, the main character is scared to admit to everyone he is different from the other boys, this book is amazing I 100% recommend it
