Snapdragon: Spoiler-Free Graphic Novel Review

Image
I went to the library the other day and I picked up a copy of Snapdragon by Kat Leyh on a whim. I did not have it on my TBR, but when I saw it I had to pick it up and read it! The cover looked really cute and I have been craving graphic novels recently. They're easy and quick reads and the stories are almost always so relatable to me! Plus the artwork is gorgeous.   Snapdragon is an urban fantasy, and is about a girl named Snapdragon who has trouble fitting in at her school, and she is obsessed with witch movies.

 My very first post!!! Hi. I'm the Candy Bunny Reader. I am currently 22 years old and I live in North Carolina (any fellow North Carolinians out there???). I majored in Marketing in college, and I have two minors in Creative Writing and French. I am an NC State Alum (Go Pack!). This should definitely gain a lot of traction, yeah? (It will be embarrassing if it didn't. After all, I'm a marketing major). If you are reading this, thanks for coming to my site. 😀 Anyway, let's get started! 1. Why did you start this blog? Obviously because of my love of reading! I have been watching Booktubers and looking at other Book Bloggers for a long time, but it was only until now that I decided it was about time to make my own. I got a lot of interesting opinions to share on books I like, books I dislike, and everything in between. Also to talk about marketing, especially tips and tricks for marketing books.  2. What are some fun and unique things that you can bring to book blogging?...
