Candy Bunny Reader

I've also reread volumes 1-13 recently. This series is so awesome! Obviously volume 14 got 5 stars from me.   I need to reread and catch up with A Sign of Affection too.  

  This is a tag that has been making its rounds recently online! I decided to join in, too. I tagged some people over on my Instagram, but there is no pressure to do this tag. Anyone is free to do it!   Oh yeah, one more thing...

I really liked reading this author's Huda F YA trilogy, and I felt that I needed to read the rest of her books!  That Can Be Arranged by Huda Fahmy is ultimately about how the author met and married her current husband in a very unexpected way. Leading up to that are anecdotes about how she mostly had bad luck when it came to relationships. Sprinkled throughout the book are also mini lessons on how arranged marriages in Muslim communities look like.  This was very interesting to read! I love the author's sassy sense of humor, and her artwork is fun, too.  I gave it 4.5 stars , but that was because of some Harry Potter references. However, even though the book was published in 2020, the author mostly likely wrote it in 2019 before JK Rowling's controversies, so I could overlook the references this time. Any book published after 2020 has no business referencing Harry Potter. 

  I saw one of my followers on Instagram do this tag and I thought I should do it too! I tagged some people over on Instagram, but anyone is free to do it. 1. A classic you've been meaning to read And Both Were Young by Madeline L'Engle ! I bought it at a thrift store last year and still haven't cracked it open. 2. A book on your shelf that you haven't read yet  I got two! They are part of a series: The Pumpkin Spice Cafe and The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore , both by Laurie Gilmore 3.  A recent purchase that you haven't read. The Castle Corona by Sharon Creech. 4. A Book You've Had Forever But Haven't Read I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai ! I bought this way back in 2015. No kidding! 5.   A Recommendation From a Friend You Haven't Read Disney High by Ashley Spencer  (it's a nonfiction book about Disney Channel) 6. A Book You're Procrastinating I got a few...

    This one made me more emotional than usual! 😭

My Aunt is a Monster by Reimena Yee is a graphic novel of a blind girl named Safia who loves storytelling. She lost her parents and is sent to live with a mysterious aunt. Aunt Whimsy used to be a famous explorer and archeologist, but went into hiding several years earlier and was presumed dead. She also may or may not be a big furry monster (well, I know the answer because I read it).  One day Aunt Whimsy finds out an old rival of hers named Cecilia "discovered" part of an ancient kingdom that Aunt Whimsy and her nanny, Cathryn, actually discovered a long time ago. Hoping to stop her rival from taking all the credit (and to stop them from encountering something dangerous at the kingdom's ruins), Aunt Whimsy, Cathryn, and Safia go on a trip. Safia decides to record a story of her travels. While on a ship, Safia runs into a girl named Hebe who is also interested in discovering new and lost things. They get along well at first, but Hebe and her two cousins seem to have ult...
