Audiobook - A Conjuring of Light (Shades of Magic #3) - V.E.Schwab

What a fantastic culmination of this trilogy. I was on the edge of my seat as the the Antari from the 3 different worlds worked together to defeat the darkness. Just wow. I think book 2 was the best in terms of writing but the battle against evil in this

Audiobook - A Gathering Of Shadows (Shades of Magic #2) - V.E.Schwab

Usually book 2 in a trilogy is the weakest, but not it this case, as this was the best of the lot. At the beginning I was a bit confused as Lila was suddenly on a boat. In fact I wasn't even sure the first chapter was about

Reading with Ella - Book 13

Magic Treehouse (#31) - Summer of the Sea Serpent by Mary Pope Osborne This Magic Treehouse was the best yet. Ella absolutely loved it. She made me read it through 2 times in a row. The selkies were amazing. Sometimes we can get a little bored of unicorns and magical

Reading with Ella - Book 12

Magic Treehouse (#5) - Night of the Ninjas by Mary Pope Osborne This Magic Treehouse book was actually a little scary for Ella. Although the Ninjas turn out to be the good guys, the fact that they don't talk, wear masks and the intimidating front cover were too

Reading with Ella - Book 10

Magic Tree House (#1) - Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborne The second installment (for us) of Jack and Annie. This time to go back in time to the Cretaceous era. You can definitely tell this is the first in the series and it's a bit toooo

Reading with Ella - Book 8

Rainbow Magic (#14), Weather Fairies (#7) Hayley the Rain Fairy by Daisy Meadows We found this in a bookbox without realizing that this is the seventh and final book in the weather fairies series. That's a bit of a pity as it was actually pretty good, and now

Reading with Ella - Book 6

Zoey and Sassafras - Dragons and Marshmallows by Asia Citro So it is possible to find new children's books that are as good as the classics. It's not all Billie B Brown and weird dolphin stories. This was fantastic. Pro-science, pro-feminist, and pro-magic! Zoey loves science

Additional Review H - Do we still like vampires in 2025?

Dead as a Doornail (Sookie Stackhouse #5) by Charlaine Harris For some reason I never got to the Sookie Stackhouse series back in the 00's when they came out. I'm not sure why as I was full into other vampire series' (yes I read Twilight)

Audiobook - Somewhere Beyond the Sea - T. J. Klune

I am happy to announce that book 2 is as good as book 1. It did what sequels so rarely do. It brought back favourite characters but also had an engaging new story that was not just a rehash of the first but more an extension. Well done TJ Dedicated

Audiobook - The Ten Thousand Doors of January - Alix E. Harrow

Fun story: I decided to read this after taking my daughter to a play cafe (cafe with toys for those not in the know!). While I was there I was sat near a book club discussing this book and it sounded fantastic. So I listened to it and it was
