Mr. Popper’s Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle by Betty MacDonald: Silly and Fun
Gravemaidens by Kelly Coon 4/5
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Continue readingNinth House by Leigh Bardugo is haunting and immersive. 5/5
I loved this book! I felt completely immersed in the story, almost like a gray (ghost) following behind Alex everywhere she went. And man, she is a feisty character! At first I wasn’t sure I was going to like her, but she definitely had me rooting for her once I got to know her.
Now, the goodreads description led me to believe this was just a college sorority drama, but I was mislead. This is a ghost story. It is filled with magic and Alex gets her chance at redemption working for the ninth society, whose job is to police the other 8 whose magic can sometimes be harmful.
Some of these things were just plain spooky!
I really enjoyed the story, the atmosphere, the characters and their relations. I loved Alex and her snarky comments and her refusal to give up.
I definitely recommend this one for anyone who loves a good magic, haunting, ghost story.
Read on, my lovely friends!

Fear the Wolf by Andrew Butcher
For generations people have believed that the Wolf watches over them and will destroy their village if they forget their place, if they forget that no one is better than anyone else, if they forget that desire and dreams are selfish and dangerous.
Senla cannot help but wish for a little beauty, a little color in her life. But the day she steps too far over the line, the Wolf attacks her village and destroys everything she thought she knew.
