2 stars I’m starting to think Patterson’s writing just isn’t for me… Either I have aged out of an appreciation for sarcastic teenage narration or Patterson and Charbonnet haven’t quite figured out how to write a sarcastic teen who doesn’t just annoy the reader the entire time. I wanted to like this book, but found…

5 stars What an amazing, unique, unexpected, splendid book. This was jaw-droppingly good and I did not want to put it down. I’ll admit, as an animal-lover I was a little squeamish when first introduced to the roadkill witch. But Leyh does such an amazing job of creating characters that you will gladly welcome into…

3 stars Overall, I enjoyed this witchy tale. I will start by saying this is the first book I’ve read in the Chrestomanci series (I didn’t even know it was a series when I picked up this book). However, from what I can tell, the books do not necessarily have to be read in order….

A collection of tales featuring witches in all their shades. Some are wicked, some are sweet, and some lie somewhere in between. This is the first in Iron Faerie’s 500 series, stories told in exactly 500 words. This created a nice reading format as all of the tales are the same length, spanning about three…

4 stars A remarkable tale of an orphaned girl who winds up in the care of two rather strange individuals. Diana Wynne Jones’ writing is wonderful. She creates such amazing worlds, which I love visiting. This book is home to a cast of odd characters from the reluctant familiar, Thomas, to the easy-to-anger mandrake, and…

5 stars I stumbled across my copy of this book while cleaning out my mother’s attic. I used to read it all the time as a child. I was fascinated with the story. I even remember watching the film version of it and dreaming about being a witch. Rereading it, I loved it just as…

3 stars This book was pretty good. I will start by saying that I did not read the first book. I found this as a free ebook, not knowing it was a series, and gave it a shot. After reading it, it was almost like I didn’t have to read the first one, because so…

4 stars I really love this series. This is a great addition to it. Very silly and entertaining. You just can’t help but like Mildred Hubble. This is a pretty quick read filled with lots of adventure. I really enjoy Murphy’s humor. I’m also super pumped that there is a Worst Witch series on Netflix….
