Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard by Tom Felton. Spoilers below line
For this book its hard to put what I'm feeling into words, but I'll try my best. Tom showed how life as a child actor was an enjoyment even when things didn't go smoothly. He also showed how actors/actresses are humans and go through substance abuse and mental problems. I loved how he told us about all the relationships he had with all the people he came into contact with while filming. What definitely hit home was his last few chapters about his struggles in life and how he handled them and showed everyone can have a bad day here and there. I loved how Emma Watson wrote his foreword and I love the bond that they share. To sum it all up I loved the book and I still have words I can't even begin to explain how much I enjoyed the book.
The Ravens by Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige. Spoilers under line
Another great book and definitely picking up the next book in the series. I loved how we see the characters develop and it kept me guessing and I was shocked in the last few chapters. I love the bond that Scarlett and Vivi had and how even though they went through a tough patch they were still there for each other. Honestly I hope we see more of both of the girls relationships like with Vivi and Mason, and hopefully Scarlett with Jackson.
Ace Of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé. Spoilers under line
Holy cow this book was definitely amazing and crazy. It was written amazingly and honestly I liked how at the end Chi and Devon had people to support them and stand behind them. I loved how in the end Chi is a doctor and is taking care of Headmaster Ward, I wasn’t expecting that. And 16 years later they are trying to make sure what happened to them doesn’t happen to any other kid like them. I enjoyed the book from the moment I started it to the moment I finished it. It was amazing to see the character development and how in the end two people from different social circles became best friends at the end.
The Grimrose Girls by Laura Pohl. Spoilers under line
This book in the beginning was slow to me and didn't really keep me entertained a lot until the last couple of chapters. Debating if I wanna read the next book or just not read it. Fav character was def Nani or Ella, but I did enjoy the different POVs just not the 3rd person perspective in the POVs.
Aurora Burning by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. Spoilers below line
So happy I picked this book up from the library, Aurora Burning was a really great read but the events that happened made me have a lot of emotions. I found out a lot about each character and I'm glad my girl Zila got more than a page as a chapter. I'm sad that Kal's dad is the big bad guy and that lied which made the team disown him basically, but I love how that never stopped him for caring about squad 312. I hope I can get the next book soon cause I gotta know what happens to everyone have that cliffhanger that is called the last chapter.
I'm so happy I decided to pick up this book. I feel like I sat this a lot but this story was defiantly nerve wrecking and had me hooked to the edge of my seat. I loved seeing Sadie's POV and West's POV, seeing what they both went through to find someone was a lot. This book showed how love and revenge can make you do things you wouldn't think of. Sadie loved her sister so much that she knew she had to avenge her sister and the person that hurt Sadie. One of the favorites of 2022.
Forever Boy: A Mother's Memoir of Finding Joy Through Autism by Kate Swenson. Spoilers below line
This book definitely hit home for me since I grew up with autism with family members. It showed how some parents don't understand it and learn to cope with it in their own way and cherish the good days. Kate showed how a parent not knowing much about autism can thrive and advocate for the community that people tend to turn away from. This book will always hold a special place in my heart and I will forever recommend and speak about autism and special needs.
The Cellar by Natasha Preston. Spoilers below line
What a crazy ride of emotions and was a crazy story. The Cellar definitely kept me on the edge of my seat, I didn't even want to put the book down. I loved how we saw different POVs and even the past events of the characters. This book was a great read and it flowed so easily together. This isn't my first book I've read by Preston and I'm happy to say it won't be the last.
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. Spoilers below cut.
I can't with the ending, my heartstrings. I can't believe Ruby went through all that and could of had a life with Liam and now she can't. I hope we see them come back together and she somehow gives the memories he had with her back. The book was overall amazing and was such a great read, I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I also hope we see Chubbs again and Su, but mostly Liam.
Definitely forgot to write post on books I have finished so the first one is Legendborn by Tracy Deonn. Definitely a top book for me I love how Deonn wrote the story and how she put the King Arthur legend and self discovery into it. Will be picking up the next book soon
I finished the book I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy. If you’re debating on reading it you definitely should. The book was an eye opener and shows her side of what she went through.
