This is the prequel to A Kind of Spark , which I read and reviewed earlier this year! You can read the review here . A Glimmer of Change by Elle McNicoll follows Keedie, who is the older sister of Addie from the first book A Kind of Spark . This story takes place during Keedie's middle school (or secondary school as they call it in Britain) days, and Addie is 6 years old here. Keedie, like Addie, is autistic, and has a history of getting bullied and no one standing up for her. After she defends her best friend Bonnie (who is also autistic) and gets in trouble for it, Keedie decides to start a little business of her own where she defends her classmates who are victims of bullying. She ends up helping a lot of people, but the school (well, mostly the principal/headmaster) doesn't like what she is doing because they claim they already have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to bullying. Keedie thinks that claim is very flimsy, especially when they reward the top bullies (who ha...

Just a little update that I finished volume 2 of the Little Witch Academia manga and gave it 5 stars! To keep it vague, Akko and her friends deal with: a money-hungry dragon, inspirational mice, a rich boy who thinks magic is old-fashioned, a mysterious fountain, a shrinking spell, and a friend with a hidden nice side.  Also, this is my first Moonspell Magic doll! It's a spin-off of monster high where the characters are witches. The one I have pictured above is Willow Thorne--she's a green witch! (Basically an herbalist).  

  Another sweet, short post today. Check out the Navigation page for more of my favorite authors! Picture of author was found on her website, which you can visit here: https://darcielittlebadger.com/  

I know, it's a very long title, but it's exactly what it sounds like. I will also give explanations for the ones I didn't like.  I just couldn't get into the Lunar Chronicles. I really didn't like Love and Gelato! Didn't care to read the next two books, even thought they follow different main characters.   I DNF'd Ao Haru at volume 3 (mostly didn't like Kou).   I don't actually completely despise Nana--I do have respect for the series's message overall (how people can easily be manipulated into toxic relationships and how hard it can be to get out of and it's not the victim's fault), but I personally still did not enjoy it. I prefer more uplifting romance series.   The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was just boring. I also found the MC to be kind of creepy.  The Indian characters in The Secret Garden are portrayed pretty offensively. The book also has that terrible ableist trope of the "disability that wasn't actually there" for o...

  Well, actually the anniversary was a few days ago (August 1st), but I had some things I needed to take care of, so we celebrate today. I thought I'd combine it with this trend that has been going around of "Meet Me in 5s". Here is mine!  

    So many twists and turns! (Pun intended, since the characters spend most of their time in the Labyrinth). And so many more emotional moments. I think this is my new favorite so far, more than the previous book!
