  What a unique fantasy book! A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan is the first of several books set in a world similar to ours; in a time period and place that heavily mirrors the 19th century in Europe. In this world, dragons are real. The main character is a woman named Isabella who is a scientist that studies dragons. She tells us her story in a memoir format.  In this first book Isabella tells us how she first got interested in dragons. Then how she met her husband Jacob, who was also a dragon-loving scientist. The bulk of the story is about a trip Isabella, Jacob, and some of their friends take to another country called Vystrana (that seems to resemble Russia) to study rock-wyrms, a type of dragon. The main characters are from Scirland, which seems to resemble England. But while they are there, they end up getting caught in the web of a conspiracy that is tied to the dragons that they are studying. Isabella ends up having an unforgettable (and scary!) adventure...

  Whoa...I can't believe someone made this tag! As a Barbie fan, it makes me happy.  I tagged some people over on Instagram, but anyone is free to do this tag.  This tag is a bit different because it doesn't ask any actual questions. Here you recommend books similar to the Barbie movie that is prompted.  1. The Princess and The Pauper --The best answer I have for this one is Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine, since it also takes place in a historical European-inspired setting and also based on a fairy tale. 2. The Diamond Castle-- this time I am gonna go with a manga series (even though I only watched the anime)...and that is Full Moon wo Sagashite by Arina Tanemura.  3. Swan Lake-- Kisses and Croissants by Anne-Sophie Johanneau is a perfect answer for this because the characters in the story literally end up performing the original Swan Lake ballet! 4. The Magic of Pegasus-- The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle. Ha ha, I recommended a unicorn book when a...

  Remember my post from January where I showcased series I wanted to finish or catch up with? Well, somehow I forgot to mention these four! Well, one of them (the Winterhouse series), is one I started this year. I read the first book in January.  The Awakening of Roku is the second book of the Avatar Roku duology, which itself is part of the larger Chronicles of the Avatar series (6th book overall, I think?) Pennies is a prequel book to the Blight Harbor series by Lora Senf (I read the first three books last year, The Clackity, The Lighthouse Keeper, and the Loneliest Place ) Brigands and Breadknives is the sequel to Legends and Lattes ,which I read back in 2023. I read the prequel Bookshops and Bonedust back in 2024. The Secrets of Winterhouse is the sequel to Winterhouse , which I read this past January.  

  I am not sure who created this tag, but I did see this tag being done by many people over on Instagram, and I thought I'd join in! I tagged a few people over on Instagram, but there is no pressure to do it. Anyone is free to do it! 1. New Moon: A book on my TBR Pet by Akawaeke Emezi. I plan on reading it very soon! 2.  Waning Crescent: An engaging series Plenty. Some that come to mind that I haven't talked about too much on here are: Witch Hat Atelier, Eden of Witches, and Somali and the Forest Spirit 3. First Quarter: A book that changed me as a reader Plenty, but the first two that comes to mind are Stargirl and Love Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. I read them when I was in fourth grade, and I am still thinking about them over a decade later.  4. Full Moon: An all-time favorite Anne of Green Gables , of course! 5. Wanning Gibbous: A book I did not enjoy. Several, but Beach Read by Emily Henry was a recent one. So bad I had to DNF it.  6. Waning Crescent: A book ...

 TW: Bullying, predatory relationships, terminal illnesses are all mentioned here.  This book had been on my TBR forever, and I am happy to report that this book was a great one! Lonely Castle in the Mirror by   Mizuki Tsujimura follows Kokoro, a 7th grader who's been avoiding going to school after getting bullied. One day she discovers the mirror in her room is glowing!
