A Date with Darcy (Bookish Boyfriends #1) - Tiffany Schmidt Review

35888335

 I loved this book, it was so cute and funny and it also features book boyfriends so what's not to love!

The main character Merrilee is an avid reader. She constantly has a book in hand and thinks 'boys are better in books.' (So relatable!)

 Merrilee, her younger sister Rory and her best friend Eliza are about to start at 'Hero High' (I know right!! The school even has modern-day knights, I mean how could you not love this book!) where she meets a 'magic' English teacher and soon finds herself right in the middle of her own classic book adventure.

 I would say this book is a retelling as it follows a certain classic novel but I won't say which as I don't want to spoil anything, even though the cover gives it away. (Just read the book! Trust me!)

 Merrilee is a quirky character that you just can't help fall in love with. Slightly clumsy, huge romantic, wherever she goes hijinx ensue, which makes this book charmingly hilarious.

 Eliza is the exact opposite to Merrilee and they balance each other perfectly and I truly loved their friendship. How they were constantly looking out for one another. I do wish there had been more  about Eliza but as this is a 2 part series hopefully the next book will be about her.

 At the same time I found Merrilee's younger sister Rory an interesting character and would like to hear her story as well. Tiffany please make this more than just a 2 part series! I need more on all the characters mentioned. Plus I wouldn't mind a story that redeems the 'villain' of this book, if that is even possible.

 The main love interest is definitely one I will be adding to my bookish boyfriend list as I am sure anyone who reads this will do too.

 Honestly get yourself a copy when it comes out on May 1st.

 Thank you to NetGalley and Amulet Paperbacks for providing me an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars!!

Rebirth - Steven Long Mitchell & Craig W. Van Sickle Book Review

Image
WARNING: Contains some spoilers! Ok so where I do begin! First I should probably explain how BIG of a Pretender fan I am. I basically grew up watching this show. I was 10 when it first aired and I even remember seeing the first advertisement on TV announcing that it was coming on and I was already hooked. After a 30 second ad I knew I needed to watch it. Watching the show was basically my childhood and early teen years. Any chance my sister and I had we would be watching it (we used to record the episodes on VHS - this was before TiVo) and re-watching it and re-watching it. We saw the 'Bank' episode (our favourite at the time) so many times that we could quote the ENTIRE episode word for word. Every word! Words that we didn't even understand. Whenever we got sent to bed early we would start quoting that episode and 40 or so minutes later we were done and more awake than ever. Are you getting how BIG a fan I am now? I was so devastated when the show got taken off air an

The Mindful Way To A Good Night's Sleep - Tzivia Gover Review

Image
I read this book over the span of a week, right before going to bed and I have noticed a slight improvement in my sleeping already. To fully get the benefits of this book, I think you need to constantly work at all the advice given even though some of the advice can be hard to do for some people like me ie. not using any electronics before going to bed. This book is split up into sections going through why getting a good night's sleep is beneficial, understanding your dreams and why we dream and how that affects our sleep to steps on how to actually get a good night's sleep. I really enjoyed the journaling prompts given as well as the step by step guide to meditating. I marked a lot of pages to look back on such as the breathing exercises which I found very helpful to help me in the future. I also thought the sleep/dream quotes scattered throughout this book was a nice touch.

White Fire (Pendergast series) - Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child Review

Image
I can't tell you how excited I was to read this book. Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child are two of my favourite authors to read and the Pendergast series is one of my all time favourite book series (second only after Harry Potter). White Fire is the thirteenth book in the Pendergast series about FBI Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast but you do not have to read the previous 12 before you read this book if you do not want to, (I highly recommend it though) you can read it as a stand-alone book. Even though the book is a Pendergast novel, it's mainly told through Corrie Swanson's (Pendergast's protege and first seen in 'Still Life With Crows') point of view. Corrie currently enrolled at John Jay College of Criminal Justice is working on a thesis which takes her to 'Roaring Fork' an exclusive ski resort in Colorado to examine the remains of 12 miners who were mauled to death by a bear 150 years previously. The prologue set in 1889 takes
