Candy Bunny Reader

Now, my history with Haddix's books is rather interesting, because when I tried reading her books when I was actually a kid, I didn't like them very much!  In middle school I tried reading Found , which is the first of her Missing series, and I found it hard to get through. The time travel stuff was also kind of confusing, and the whole book was just a set up for the rest of the series where the main characters go through time to restore history. I also tried reading Among the Hidden , the first of the Shadow Children. At the time I found it boring, but that would eventually change in the future.  The first book I read from Haddix as an adult would become an all-time favorite, and that is Just Ella ! It's a feminist retelling of Cinderella. The second book I read from her was Running Out of Time . I also loved it. I am not planning on reading the sequel, though. I thought the first book was satisfying enough But then I did read the sequel to Just Ella , which was Palace of...

I hope I am not too late to this book tag! I actually did this same one way back in 2022 a little after I started my page (you can view that year's edition here ) I saw @spacey_ghost over on Instagram do this back in June of this year, and it rekindled my interest to do it again.  Here are my answers for this year! As usual, anyone is free to do this tag. The questions are a bit different this time. 1. 5 books I love:  Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix Kisses and Croissants by Anne-Sophie Johanneau The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon Close Enough to Touch by Colleen Oakley 2. 4 books on my TBR: Tales from Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers 3. 3 books I recommend: Running out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsen...

  These are some books that I have read and loved but I don't see a lot of other people talk about them on Bookstagram/Booktube/wherever else people talk about books. So I recommend you check out all of these titles if your reading tastes are very similar to mine! 1. Mandy by Julie Andrews Yes, this was written by that Julie Andrews. It is about a 10 year old girl named Mandy who grew up and lives in an orphanage, but she always felt that she needed a place of her own. One day as she is exploring the woods behind the orphanage, she comes across an old abandoned cottage. She starts to secretly escape there everyday; tidying up the cottage and growing a garden there. Eventually her secret visits to the cottage lead her to a life-changing event. It's a really sweet and heartwarming book. If you like cottagecore-esque books with great characters similar to Anne of Green Gables , you'll love Mandy! 2. Running out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix This was actually Haddix's...
