N.E.W.T.S 2020 TBR!

Since this will be the last N.E.W.T.S for the magical readathon, I just had to do it. I'm a little late posting this TBR as it is already the 2nd of August and I have already finished one book but I decided it was better late than never. So for my O.W.L.S I completed Astronomer and Animagus Training so I have decided to complete all the prompts for both for the N.E.W.T.S.

For Astronomer I need to  get an O in Arthimancy, O in Astronomy and an A in History of Magic. For Animagus Training I need to get an A in Arithmancy, E in Potions and O in Transfiguration. That is a total of 13 books! Not sure if I can complete all prompts but I will try and mainly focus on completing the Astronomer ones.

Here are the prompts for Astronomer and what I have chosen to read:

Read a non-fiction:  The Secret - Rhonda Byrne
Read a book that ends on an uneven number: Romanov - Nadine Brandes
Read a book that's between 260 and 299 pages: Liar Liar - LA Cotton
Read a book with a star on the cover or in the title: This Adventure Ends - Emma Mills
Read a sci-fi: Illuminae - Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman (this is a reread)
Read one of the biggest books on your TBR: The Last Magician - Lisa Maxwell
Read a historical fiction: The Lovely War - Julie Berry

Here are the prompts for Animagus Training and what I have chosen to read:

Read a non-fiction: Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom
Read a book with sky in the title or on the cover: Beneath the Sugar Sky - Seanan McGuire
Read an author that name starts with the letter D: The Last True Poets of the Sea - Julie Drake
Read a book with an animal on the cover or in title: Black Beauty - Anna Sewell
Read a book with dragons or fire on the cover or in title: The Tea Dragon Society - Katie O'Neil
Read a hardcover or a book that will be hard to read: A Darker Shade of Magic - VE Schwab

 Excited to read all these amazing books this month!!

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
