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...

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...

Hi everyone, Victoria here! Sorry, I didn't have a post go up last week but today I'm going to be doing the back to school book tag!! The summer absolutely flew by, and now I sadly have to go back to school next week. Anyways, let's jump right into the questions!  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- English/Language Arts- Name your favorite author's (or books) writing style  Ok so I don't really have a specific author or book in mind, but I love a quick paced story that can get me out of a reading slump!  Math- A book that made you frustrated  Definitely, this book because the characters were SO stupid!

Hey everyone,  Victoria here! Today I'm going to be sharing with you my July wrap-up! I read 5 books  in July, which I'm really happy with! I read a lot of really great books and a lot of mediocre books. So, let's just jump right into the wrap-up... 1.) The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  / ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  (3/5) *TRIGGER WARNING- Suicide, Depression, and Self-harm I thought that this book was going to be a definite 5 star read for me, turns out I don't like reading magical realism. This book is about a girl whose mother commits suicide, and she is now convinced that her mother has turned in to a bird. This is not a bad book, by any means. In fact, I would even recommend it to you if you like magical realism. I enjoyed the mental health aspect of this book, and I thought it was really well done. However, in the middle of this book, I was ready to DNF it. I was very bored in the middle of this book, as were some other read...
