  I grew up watching these movies and I absolutely love them. But I do like some more than others. Here is my ranking for all 6 Tinker Bell movies. They go from my least favorite to my most favorite.   I do not own Tinker Bell or any of the Disney Fairies. They are all owned by Disney.  6. Tinker Bell and the Legend of the Neverbeast --it's a good movie but the ending is so sad! It's also sad that it was the last Tinker Bell movie made.  5. Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure- -I just didn't really like Tink herself in this movie--she was more feisty than usual. Although I guess it was necessary for her character development. 4. Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue-- it was good, but not great. I do like how this is where Vidia starts to act nicer towards Tink, though.  3. The Pirate Fairy-- super cool story! I like how we get to see a young Captain Hook in this movie, too.  2. Tinker Bell-- Tinker Bell's origins were so whimsical. I love the message w...

TW: Acephobia, harassment, toxic friendship all are mentioned. You can see a full list of trigger warnings here: https://booktriggerwarnings.com/Let%27s_Talk_About_Love_by_Claire_Kann   My second Claire Kann book!  Let's Talk About Love is about the biromantic asexual college student Alice, who just broke up with her girlfriend and (now also ex) roommate Margot. She tries to forget about the breakup by moving in with her now engaged childhood friends Feenie and Ryan, bingewatch her favorite shows and write essays on them, and chow down on her favorite foods. She is also trying to find out what to major in at college. Her family wants her to go into law because that's what they all do, but Alice's interests lie somewhere else. One day at her part-time job at a local library, they get a new employee named Takumi. The second Alice sees him, she's head over heels! They start hanging out as friends a lot outside of work, but Alice is afraid to come out to Takumi as asexual...

TW: Family member dying mentioned. The book itself has a lot more trigger warnings not discussed here. You can read the full list on this website here: https://booktriggerwarnings.com/Elatsoe_by_Darcie_Little_Badger    This was on my TBR forever, and I am glad to report that this book did not disappoint. Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger is set in a world like ours--but have been shaped by magic and legends of different groups of people. The story is about a Lipan Apache girl named Elatsoe (or Ellie as she is usually called), her ghost dog Kirby, and her best friend Jay. They get thrown into solving a murder mystery case of Ellie's cousin, Trevor. When Ellie and her parents visit her cousin in law Lenore (Trevor's widow) and baby second cousin Gregory to keep them company, they find out the town they live in is rather...odd. It seems to center heavily around an eccentric doctor named Abe Allerton, who might have had something to do with Trevor dying. The task is dangerous...

A sapphic holiday romance! Make My Wish Come True is by Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick . They are the same authors who wrote She Gets The Girl, which I read and reviewed back in 2023. You can read that review here . This book is set in late December, and is a dual POV book of two girls named Caroline and Arden. Caroline lives in a small town called Barnwich in Pennsylvania where they are very obsessed with Christmas. Arden is a famous A-list actress who was also Caroline's best friend when they were younger. They each had a crush on each other, but never told the other one how she felt. Since Arden is an actress, she's been living in LA (Los Angeles) the last four years and has been hyperfocused on her career. Caroline wonders how come in the last four years Arden never contacted her. Caroline is also hoping to get into a good university for journalism.  Well, Arden is hoping to land her next movie role, and in order to get in character for the role, she decides to revis...

I saw this was being done over on Instagram, and I wanted to join in! As usual, I don't know when I will get around to any of these books. 

Where do we even begin?! Halfway There by Christine Mari is a graphic novel memoir about the author growing up struggling with her half-Japanese, half-American identity. During her college years, she studies abroad in Japan thinking she'll be able to find who she truly is, but instead deals with more identity crises. It all leads to depression, and she learns to reach out and ask for help from her grandparents and a therapist.  You really have to read this book to understand how lovely and heartfelt it is! For me it was relatable in so many parts (having parents from two different countries, not knowing where I belong, mental health struggles, getting help when needed, being a great artist, etc.). I really saw myself in this author! I gave it 5 stars .
