  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 . 

    This is the second book in the Deer Hill Anonymous series by Jodi Meadows . The first book was Bye Forever, I Guess , which I read earlier this year, You can read that review here .  Confessions from the Group Chat is about Virginia, an eighth grade girl who has a rather toxic group of friends. She often finds herself acting mean like the rest of her friends, but every time she acts like them she feels guilty. She also has a crush on Grayson: a guy in her grade who used to be quite popular when he was a football player.  One day in their friend group chat, Virginia accidentally sends them a picture of Grayson she secretly took. The other girls start teasing her about liking "a loser" like him. The next day at school during lunch, Virginia kind of gets revenge on them teasing her by admitting a rather private secret of the girls out loud, named Kat.  Humiliated, Kat and another one of the friends named Mary Heather decide to take screenshots of all of Virgi...

I actually read a book illustrated by the author of this book back in 2022, titled Mooncakes! You can read the review for that book here .  Tidesong   by Wendy Xu is about Sophie, who wants to enter a prestigious academy of magic, but first needs to refine her magic skill to pass the auditions. She gets sent to live and train with her great aunt and cousin. All they seem to do is make her do a bunch of chores, and she feels her magic still isn't good enough. One day she tries out a spell of her own and almost drowns, but is saved by a shapeshifting dragon prince named Lir. Sophie and Lir end up getting their magic powers tangled up, but when they start practicing together, Sophie finds her magic getting better! But eventually Lir has to return home or his father, the Dragon King, will be furious and probably cause a destructive storm... This was so sweet and whimsical! I loved the magic system and the mythology sprinkled throughout. I also love the way Sophie's mental health ...

I can't believe I finally read the last book in this cozy sci fi series! You can read reviews for the first three books here: The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet , A Closed and Common Orbit , and Record of a Spaceborn Few . The Galaxy and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers is set at a rest stop for space travelers. It is owned by a Laru named Ouloo. Her child, Tupo, helps her out around the place. An accident just happened that causes their communication lines and travel tunnels to become inaccessible. So everyone who stopped by when the accident happened is stuck there for several days. But they all try to make the best out of the situation. In this book, aside from Ouloo and Tupo, we also follow: Pei, an Aeuluon who is Ashby's girlfriend from the first Wayfarers book. Speaker and Tracker, two twin sister Akaraks (although we mostly follow Speaker she's she's the one in and out of their ship) Roveg, an Quilin who is on his way to see his children on his home plane...

I am so glad I decided to continue reading the Avatar novels of the Avatars before Aang! I had mixed feelings about the Kyoshi novels (you can read the review for the first one here ) and DNF'd the first Yangchen novel. I had a hunch it was because I didn't like the way the author of those books (FC Yee) writes. Luckily, Roku's books have a different author: Randy Ribay . I am glad to report this book was really good! I do prefer Ribay's writing style a lot more. The Reckoning of Roku is about how Roku (he's the Avatar right before Aang as shown in the original TV show) discovers he is the Avatar. He began his training in one of the Air Nomad temples under Sister Disha, but he's been struggling with his airbending and overall Avatar duties.  At the same time, Roku's friend Prince Sozin has plans to go to a reclusive island that is rumored to have very powerful benders who know rare forms of bending. Roku and his friend Gyatso end up exploring the island, to...
