Hey Pookies💕, Welcome backkk!! To lighten up the atmosphere a bit from last week’s review, today we have a fantasy book by the name of, A Court of Thorn and Roses. This book was plastered all over booktok so I’m sure many of you may have heard about it or even read it. But let’s act like this is the first time you’re seeing it🤭.

Mini-Summary
A Court of Thorns and Roses follows Feyre, a skilled hunteress, who is the main provider for her impoverished family. On one of her hunts, she kills a wolf, which unbeknownst to her, was a magical creature. To atone for her doing she is taken prisoner by a High Fae Lord. Feyre soon learns that this realm is not what she thought it to be. What is this realm? Does Feyre survive? Find out by giving this book a read :)
Likes and Dislikes
-Despite not being a regular fantasy reader because of the complexity of most worldbuilding and the overall complexity of some fantasy books (I also just prefer romance or psychological type books🤭), I actually enjoyed this book quite a bit. What particularly stood out to me was the book's simplicity, both in terms of language and worldbuilding. The inclusion of a visual map at the beginning was also a nice touch to break down the worldbuilding and give readers a better understanding. One of the best parts of this book was how the writer wrote the characters. She delved into their pasts and their traumas and added layers of depth that resonated throughout the entire story (and from what I’ve been told, throughout other books). Aside from a slow pacing at its start(which is relatively normal for the first book in a book series), the ending of the book was quite appealing.
-Though most of the characters were really well written, I would’ve loved to see more perspectives of the other characters because including different points of view, in my opinion, would’ve made the storytelling a lot better. However, since I've just started this book series, I'm curious to see if this changes throughout the other books. Another thing that didn’t really appeal to me was some of the development of the main character. Initially, she was portrayed as a strong huntress and provider for her family however, her choices throughout the story deviated from her established characterization and while I won't talk about specific instances (as to not give any spoilers), this inconsistency in her behavior kind of dropped the quality for me personally.
Aside from the initial slow pacing and some character choices, the author’s ability to world-build and write really complex yet understandable characters really made this an overall enjoyable read.
Age rating- 17+
Genres- Fantasy, Young Adult Fiction, Novel
Do I recommend?-Yes, I recommend you give it a read and don’t let the initial slow pace deter you.
Trigger Warnings- Ab*se, Violence, Death, Gore

"Lilac" by B.B. Reid
"Lilac" is a captivating young adult novel that follows the story of Lilac, a young woman who is struggling to find her place in the world. She feels lost and alone, and she's constantly searching for something to fill the void in her life. One day, she meets a mysterious stranger named Reed, who promises to give her everything she's ever wanted. He's charming, charismatic, and seems to understand her in a way that no one else does. Lilac is drawn to Reed's intensity and the promise of a life filled with excitement and adventure. But as they get closer, she begins to notice red flags. Reed is controlling and possessive, and he isolates Lilac from her friends and family. He manipulates her emotions and makes her feel like she's losing her grip on reality. The novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the dangers of manipulation. It's a dark and twisted tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat. As Lilac falls deeper into Reed's web of lies, she must find a way to escape before it's too late. The novel also touches on themes of mental health and the importance of seeking help when you need it. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers with a touch of romance, "Lilac" is definitely worth checking out. However, be warned that the novel deals with some mature themes and may be triggering for some readers.

"I admired his smile and the way he talked. I loved him. I was yearning for his attention. Unseen by him, I watched him from afar, separated by an invisible gap of wealth. Striving to bridge it, I studied relentlessly. Yet, as I believed I had conquered, it was too late – my love went unnoticed. Accepting the unbridgeable gap, I turned to resentment. Trying to move on, I concealed my feelings. Unable to truly let go, I ignored my heart’s cry. Despite having it all, a heavy sadness lingered. The universe’s disdain led me to him, a painful encounter. Vowing not to feel that way again, I closed my heart, not even for him."

Posted @withrepost • @willow.timber.tom Tom! Tom! Tom! Second time meeting @t22felton !!! Thanks to @kacixjarvis for a ticket. I was doing well. Not crying too much and was able to stop crying when I met him. I had two tickets because my dad was with me and 3 books because I pre ordered when it was first announced. One of them was signed by him for me, one of them is the pre order which I don't have yet and the last one was for my friend Elisabeth! Tom told me I was really kind for giving her a book, thanked me for pre ordering and then said "are you a pottah fan? I can see you are a willow fan" because I was wearing the merch. I said yes and I asked for a photo and he said "of course! Can I have a hug first" I obviously said yes and hugged him, probably tighter than he was expecting but it was fine because he squeezed me too!!! (Also other people had come out saying that they had to ask him nicely for a hug and that we should all ask him but he asked me!!!!!!!!) And then I cried on him. And he'd asked me for the hug before the photo so it was too late for the whole no tears thing to work but he is the best human and gives the best hugs. 3rd times the charm! Hopefully I won't cry then. Also if anyone had any photos of me with tom DM me 💚💚🦆🦆 @waterstones #tom #felton #tomfelton #booktour #tomfeltonbooksigning #tomfeltonbooksigning #t22felton #meetandgreet #booksigning #beyondthewand #celebrity #tomfeltonfans #tomfeltonlover #tomfletonphoto #t22feltonfan #dracomalfoy #harrypotter #lucasz #peagreenclock https://www.instagram.com/p/CjpYEJFKm6S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"If you haven't picked this up, I recommend it! It's a graphic novel with 5 short Holocaust stories interwoven with fantasy. My favorites are one where a hiding family looks out their window and finds a portal to another world, and a girl who's grandma gives her a magic shell that shows her the family she would have we're the Holocaust never to have happened. Truly thought provoking!"
Grateful for this touching review from @jodieleaanders on 'Courage to Dream.' 🌟 It’s reviews like these that remind me why storytelling matters. This graphic novel weaves together five Holocaust stories with elements of fantasy, creating a tapestry that challenges and inspires. From portals to other worlds to magical shells revealing alternate realities, each story is a journey into the 'what-ifs.' If you're looking for a thought-provoking read that blends history with imagination, 'Courage to Dream' awaits.
Find your copy today and join us in exploring these powerful narratives. 📖✨
