Candy Bunny Reader

  An author who recently became a favorite of mine! Well, by recently I mean by last year. The first book I read from her was her most popular one, The Girl who Drank the Moon . It was sooo magical, sweet, and cool! Although I do remember some parts of it being a little confusing.  I then read The Ogress and the Orphans , and I loved it too. Then I read The Witch's Boy, and it became my favorite book from her! Well, so far.  The rest of her books are on my TBR. I hope I can get around to reading one of these soon.  Why do I like Kelly Barnhill's books so much? Because they are the definition of whimsical, enchanting, emotional, and heartfelt. They basically feel very Studio Ghibli-like. If you like Studio Ghibli like myself, you'll like her books! Or maybe you already do. I'd like to see at least one of her books get an adaptation, preferably from Studio Ghibli.

  I am back with another installment of the underrated books series. I love making these. Here are 4 more books that I love that I barely see anyone talking about online. Hopefully you might read these too! 1. Jane of Lantern Hill by LM Montgomery -Jane Stuart lives with her kindly mother and harsh grandmother in a giant mansion in Toronto. Jane obviously does not get along well with her grandmother, and unfortunately doesn't get along well with the the other members of her mother's extended family, either. She also is unpopular at her school. The only friend she has is her next door neighbor, a girl around her age named Jody. One day, Jane receives news that her father who she thought was dead is actually alive--and she gets a letter in the mail from him asking her to visit him on Prince Edward Island for the summer. She's reluctant at first, but Jane goes to PEI and ends up having a wonderful summer with her dad and new friends. Jane also finds out more reasons on why h...

  Well, I only read 4 books this month, compared to last months 15 books, but all 4 books got a high rating from me! So it was a great reading month. I'll have links to reviews when necessary. 1. The Witch's Boy by Kelly Barnhill . A wonderful, magical, and emotional story of two children, Ned and Aine, who meet each other in unusual circumstances to protect the magic of their world and their two kingdoms. 4.5 stars . 2. Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty -a historical fantasy book of an eccentric girl and the nephew of Cornelius Vanderbilt trying to solve the mystery of the scary man in magical black cloak who is making children in and around the Biltmore Estate disappear. 5 stars . 3. One Piece Volumes 8 and 9 by Eichiro Oda . Still continuing with my One Piece journey! Both 5 stars .  What books did you read in October? How many did you like?

 TW: Discussions of death My third Kelly Barnhill book! The Witch's Boy is about Ned, who is the son of the witch of the small village he lives in. Ned lost his twin brother Tam in a rafting accident years earlier. The village outside his family always seemed to prefer Tam over Ned, so for years after Tam died, Ned is ostracized by the rest of the village, which has lowered his self esteem.  On the other side of the continent, a girl named Aine recently lost her mother, and she has a strained relationship with her father, who is the leader of a bunch of bandits. Aine's father also always wears a magic pendant around his neck, which makes him act strange. He and his group of bandits are trying to find and steal the rest of the magic in the world, which Ned's mother, is the protector of. Additionally, before Aine's mother died, she tried to tell Aine something about her future. Something about the wrong boy saving her life, her saving his life, and something else about ...
