Misfits

Title: Misfits
Author: Jen Calonita
Rating: 4/5 Stars
On Sale: October 1st

   ¨Fake it till you make it.¨ Devin may be a princess, but it isn´t the life path she´d choose for herself. If you ask her she´d rather use her ability to talk to creatures to aid in healing them. Unfortunately, Devin doesn´t get a say in what she wants to do and is sent to Royal Academy- because attendance at RA is mandatory for all young royals in the kingdom. From the moment Devin arrives at RA she feels as though something is off. The question is, is she right or is she just refusing to give RA the chance it deserves? Afterall, what can go wrong when the Fairy Godmother is the headmistress?
   I´ve been excited to read this book ever since I finished reading Switched (book 4 in Jen Calonita´s Fairy Tale Reform School Series.) The minute I saw it listed on NetGalley I requested it and kept my fingers crossed and constantly checked my email with the hopes of being accepted to read it. Maybe some of that excitement is what led to some of my disappointment in the book. While I loved all of the characters and the story that was presented I felt like the story was over just as it was beginning despite the book being 256 pages long. However, I took all of this with a grain of salt because I know it is the first book in the new series and thus was a foundation for what is to come. If this series turns out to be anything comparable to The Fairy Tale Reform School Series the books will all be well worth the read. I am eager for the next book in this series to come out. Be forewarned the ending is a cliffhanger and will leave you hungry for more. **Note: You do not need to read or be familiar with the Fairy Tale Reform School Series in order to read this book, but I feel it would be more enjoyable if you do. You´ll have more to take away from the story.**

**Thanks to NetGalley I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.**

The Hotel Between

Title: The Hotel Between Author: Sean Easley Rating: 3.5/5 Stars On Sale: September 4th    Cam and Cass have never met their parents. They have been told their mother died and their dad disappeared after dropping off the twins with their Oma. Cam thinks there must be more to the story, surely their dad would not abandon them- would he?     The answer to the question presents itself in the form of a mysterious door which leads to The Hotel Between. While Cam is not initially welcomed he eventually gains access- thanks to his new friend and hotel worker, Nico. This hotel is unlike anything Cam has seen before. It has the capabilities to transport you around the world, it has statues that are more than just statues and an abundance of questions and mysteries that are waiting to be discovered. Cam knows the Hotel has the answers he is looking for, but how hard will it be to find answers he is looking for? And will they be what he expected?   Wh...

My History with Reading

   For as long as I can remember I´ve always loved reading. As hard as my parents tried to cultivate readers amongst me and my two younger brothers, I was the only one who genuinely enjoyed it. In fact, my younger brother once had dreams of being a lawyer until he found out how much reading and writing was required. 😂   As for me, I read to everyone and everything. I remember the first book I read alone was Hop on Pop courtesy of Dr. Seuss. When my brothers did not want to listen to me read I would gather my stuffed animals and line them up all while pretending to play librarian or teacher. (I even heald the book the right way so ¨the children¨ could see the pictures.) When I was in 3rd grade my teacher, Mrs. Warmelink, read aloud Matilda using different voices for each character and I thought to myself ¨I want to be a teacher when I grow up so I can do read books and use different voices. (Fast forward 20 years and my dream became a reality, although I teach math...

Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass

Title: Harley Quinn Breaking Glass Author: Mariko Tamaki Rating: 3/5 stars (due to the length of excerpt) For Sale: June 4, 2019 I´ve always been obsessed with superheroes and comic books (thanks dad!) and with Harley Quinn being one of my favorites I knew this was a must read. (If my husband and I would have had a girl her name would have been Hailey Quinn. Instead, we have a dog named Loki and a son named Parker, yes named after Peter Parker.) Thanks to NetGalley I received an early excerpt of this graphic novel. We are introduced to Harleen Quinzel who goes to live with her grandma- only her grandma has died so she is now living in an apartment with a drag queen who goes by Mama. We also get a chance to see how Harley- excuse me Harleen- becomes friends with Ivy, yes THE Ivy. While the excerpt was only 28 pages long I am excited and eager to read the remaining novel when it is released next year. Use the button below to add this book to your Goodreads account! ...
