Anyways, let's jump right into the questions!  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the fall, the air is crisp and clear: name a book with a vivid setting!  For this one, I'm gonna have to go with Sea Witch by Sarah Henning! The seaside town setting was just so eerie and enhanced the story and made it such an enjoyable read!  Nature is beautiful...but also dying: name a book that is beautifully written but also deals with a heavy topic like loss or grief  Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Henning Blake. This book talks about the main character's brother raping her best friend. Our main character, Mara, has to deal with a lot of grief and feelings surrounding the whole situation.   Fall is back to

Hey everyone,  Victoria here! Today I'm going to be sharing with you my August wrap-up! I read 3 books  in August, which I'm kind of disappointed with, but I'm having less time to read since school started back up again :/ .  So, let's just jump right into the wrap-up... 1.) Sea Witch by Sarah Henning Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  / ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  (5/5!) I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did! I can confidently say that this is one of my favorite books I've read so far this year!! It details the origin story of how the infamous Ursula (from The Little Mermaid) came to be! It was so so interesting and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I listened to the audiobook to this one while I was on vacation, and I listened to it the whole flight back home! It was so so good!! It was so atmospheric and descriptive, which made it so much more believable. I really enjoyed the unique storyline and romance featured in this book and I just could

Heretics Anonymous by Katie Henry I know that EmmmaBooks loved this book, and I'm super excited to read it this month!! This book has such a unique concept and the cover is so gorgeous! I'm hoping to really love this one! :) To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han I read this in August and I'm set on finishing the series this month! I'm waiting to finish the entire series before watching the movie, even though I know it only details the first book (I'm weird ok...). Check out more of my thoughts on this book in my Augst wrap-up! The Muse by Jessie Burton This was on a sale cart at my library, so I got the paperback for only $3. The synopsis sounded pretty interesting, but the cover is absolutely stunning! Even though this is an adult book, I'm hop
