Tired of my mini reviews yet? Well, I’m not. So I’m posting another one! It’s just that I’ve been reading so much middle grade / kidlit lately, and so much of it has been amazing! It’s like almost whenever I choose a middle grade title, the likelihood of me giving it 5 stars increases! I may just set off on a…

You know I have a weak spot for middle grade books – I’m always reading one or two! Thing is, lately I’ve been running out of things to say in reviews even if I loved the book – so I often end up giving mini reviews on Goodreads only and skipping the blog altogether. I seem to have come to…

I loved that book, and of course, I started reading the sequels as fast as I could get my hands on them. This is mostly the review for the second sequel, Maddy Alone, but I read the third…

This book was awesome! So awesome, in fact, it was like a breath of fresh air in my several-months-long reading and blogging slump. It’s Moon Mission that got me out of my hiatus, because I was actually so excited to write the review! Let me start with the fact that while it may be written with teens in mind, its…

I was so excited to write a review for this one! The Swish of the Curtain is strangely both as relevant as ever, and slightly dated at the same time. But it’s a wonderful read! First released in 1941, it talks about timeless things such as ambition, talent and… your parents not letting you do what you want with your…

The Girl Who Drank the Moon makes many ‘best of’ lists, so I was incredibly excited to finally be able to read it this year. And it was even more exciting, as we decided on a buddy read with Tânia @ My Lovely Secret. It was one of the most structured and fun buddy reads I’ve ever done! So what follows…

Oh, how I loved this wonderful adventure! The Secret of Dinswood is just the kind of book I wish I had read more of when I was actually in my middle grade years. There’s just something empowering about a bunch of kids solving mysteries and riddles, and potentially getting themselves in trouble, skulking around dark caves and castle hallways! Even…

My heart is so full right now. I’ve just closed the book, and my heart is both crying and singing in joy. It has been a while that a book has moved me so much. But The Eleventh Trade is one of a kind and I know it will remain in my heart forever. It’s one of those books you…

How do you feel about autumn? Personally, I love it. I love it to pieces, it’s my absolute favorite season! The sky is almost always golden, at least where I live. The days are getting shorter, but not agressively so – by aggressively, I mean that in winter here, it gets dark at around 4 pm. Nobody likes it 😂 But…

I’ve always liked Middle Grade lit, but when I picked Clara Voyant up, I knew it was going to be something special. Much in the tradition of the story in the book, “it just had that viiiiiibe”. And my gut was right! I absolutely adored this short, colorful, sweet read. If you like Middle Grade, or if your kid does – definitely…

The Zanna Function was AMAZING!!! It was so amazing, I had trouble finding what to pick up next after it, and then spent at least a week actively missing reading it.

Check out on Goodreads Not going to rate This post is going to be problematic. It was a changing experience for me as a blogger, that’s for sure. Most of the time we just read books we like, or don’t like. Simple as that. But sometimes the issues are slightly bigger than us and our likes or dislikes. That tends…
