This is for the Reading Rush prompt: "Read a book that inspired a movie you've already seen".
I had watched the movie when I was a little kid but I couldn't remember much of the things that were happening. So I am more than glad that I could read (listen to) this amazing story and remembering it.
This Audible narration was amazing and I laughed so many times at how innocent and cute were the kids. I wish I could go to Neverland myself.
I am sad though that it ended like that.
I totally recommend this audiobook to all of you! :)...more

I loved the illustrations! And the story, and the author's idea at the beginning. This book opened my apetite to play The Elder Scrolls Online again :D.
I started this book on a whim but it was totally worth it! <3 Highly recommend....more

This book is the second one in the Moon Trilogy by C.L. Bevill. I liked this one more than the first one. There are no sex scenes in this one3.5 stars.
This book is the second one in the Moon Trilogy by C.L. Bevill. I liked this one more than the first one. There are no sex scenes in this one which is perfect for me. Beside this, the characters were more likeable than those from the first book and the mystery was more intense, having a little twisty turn towards the end that I liked pretty much.
One of my all-time favourite books! I had this in kindergarden from my mom and read at least 50 times, I'm sure of it. Still have it, found it about 2One of my all-time favourite books! I had this in kindergarden from my mom and read at least 50 times, I'm sure of it. Still have it, found it about 2 years ago.
There are 4 animal main characters, each has an unique personality. At a birthday party, the Owl gives the 4 mc's a treasure map, and they start their adventure towards it. In order to get there, they need 4 keys. Easy peasy, right?
However, along the way they find several things that stand in their way. But each of them gets to find a solution and each of them finds a key. In the end they get to a big gate, but none of the keys are working. How will they find the solution or the right key?
Read this and you'll find out! Best adventure book ever!...more
I've been meaning to read this book for a few years now (about 4 approximately) and I started it about 3 times, but I always f4.5 ✨ rounded down to 4.
I've been meaning to read this book for a few years now (about 4 approximately) and I started it about 3 times, but I always felt like it's such an important story and I wanted to make proper time for it, so I put it down each time.
But on the 26th of December I simply got into it and haven't left until I finished it, and I regret nothing!
First of all, I'd like to mention that this book has a few scenes of torture, so if this triggers you, please proceed with caution. I know I felt horrible going through those moments in the book.
Now, the book has one of the best premises I have ever read about: There are 4 Londons in parallel worlds - Grey London (the most usual and non-magic one), Red London (the most frutiful and full of healthy and beautiful magic), White London (the one where everyone is thirsty for power and they use magic to do mischief) and Black London (the one that fell a long time ago because the magic consumed everyone).
We have 2 protagonists: Kell, who is an Antari and can travel between Londons, and Delilah Bard, a human thief from Grey London who wishes to steal a boat and travel far away.
The book is mostly alert and happens in the span of about 2 days, but somehow I felt like Schwab wanted to extend each moment when Kell travelled from a London to another and the action that goes on, and at the end I felt like everything ended too quickly, like the author just got tired and put the action on fast forward. I don't know, it's just what I felt, and the main reason for taking 0,5 points down from the rating.
I adored the fact that there was no romance the book focused on; only action, world-building more or less and character development. I have a few assumptions of what is going to happen in the next 2 books but I may be wrong.
All in all, this is a story worth reading, especially if you are a Fantasy fan. It's a must-read! Looking forward to the next book in the trilogy!
I found this for free on iBooks, but I think you can also find it on Amazon for free as well.
This is The edition I've read is actually 752 pages long.
I found this for free on iBooks, but I think you can also find it on Amazon for free as well.
This is one of those books where the first line hooks you and makes you read the whole book. There was a part in the middle of it where I made a pause and haven't continued for a time period, but after I continued reading it it hooked me until the very end.
So the story is about this girl who reads minds, and we have the chance to see everything from her perspective. Her father had disappeared for a long time and she lives with her grandmother who shares the same powers as her.
After a while, a new guy comes to the highschool she goes to, and a crime happens in a very nice day and scares everyone. Anyway, this guy knows her secret and after a while she moves with him in a palace where she discoveres that she is not the only special one. But things go wrong as she stays there.
Because there were a few cliches, I gave this book 4 stars. But the ending really makes it for every mistake.
If you like fantasy books about mind-reading, go for it. I can't remember everything and I would like to re-read it at one point so I can continue with the series....more
4.5 stars. Although I love this book so much, I'm not sure it is my favourite from the entire series, anymore. But I still love it. Also, this was a b4.5 stars. Although I love this book so much, I'm not sure it is my favourite from the entire series, anymore. But I still love it. Also, this was a buddy-read with my boyfriend, who likes Adrian more than Dimitri :)).
This is the third time I'm reading this book, but the second time I'm reading the entire series (This is partly because I first started with this book and then reread it when I first started reading the series).
This is the second book in the Vampire Academy series written by the beautiful and amazing author, Richelle Mead (one of my favourites, actually).
I love this book mostly because all the schools/academies are going on a ski vacation and there we also meet Adrian Ivashkov, an important character. He is charismatic and funny and has something unique which I can't say what it is, because spoiler.
The book is alert, especially towards the end, where a character dies. It is a little sad, but I didn't really cared about that character that much, anyway. The relationship between Rose and Dimitri was even better and I really ship these two so much!
I can't wait to reread the third one in the series. I love the ending of that one so much!
I think book two is on the 3rd place in the series until now, but we'll see....more
This is the second time I'm reading the series and I can feel some changes towards this series.
First of all, I liked this book more than th4.75 stars.
This is the second time I'm reading the series and I can feel some changes towards this series.
First of all, I liked this book more than the second one, which was my favourite of the entire series (I don't know why honestly).
Secondly, the characters grown so much and the plot thickens, not to mention that cliffhanger at the end and that last line.
So after the death of a certain character from book 2, Rose keeps seeing him as a ghost now. He seems like he's trying to comunicate with her, and at the end we see why.
At a certain point, Rose, Lisa, Dimitri, Adrian, Christian and Eddie are going to the Queen's Court to participate at Victor Dashkov's trial! Everything goes well and the gang spent some more time there, discovering some interesting facts and new characters.
Back at the Academy, and towards the end, everything gets fast-paced and before you know it ... BAM! ...is the end of the book.
Until now, the second book is on the 4th place on this series and this one is on the 3rd place.
Looking forward on rereading book 4, also one of my favourites....more
After almost 2 years I finished re-reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
It isn't this good as it was for me the first time I read it, so After almost 2 years I finished re-reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
It isn't this good as it was for me the first time I read it, so I'm dropping the rating to 2.5 stars, rounding it up to 3.
It dragged too much, having details and long moments that weren't that interesting and didn't helped the story to progress. Also, the Umbridge moments are so painful that I feel like going there and kill her.
And the death of my favourite character in the entire series didn't helped at all!
But besides this, there were great, intense moments throughout the book.
Looking forward to re-reading the sixth installment, as from there things are getting crazier, as I remember....more
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the 4th book in the Harry Potter series.
This time Rowling adds even more details and plot to the series, and I thHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the 4th book in the Harry Potter series.
This time Rowling adds even more details and plot to the series, and I think that's the reason everybody loves it so much! For me personally, this book is on the 4th place out of all seven books. I love the idea of the Triwizard Tournament! I like the idea of Moody and the way he teaches students things so darkish.
Things are getting complicated. And I used to love this movie, too. But what am I talking about? I love all the movies and all the books! But you know what is better? Watching them/reading them near the Christmas, in the winter, when snow is falling, everywhere in town lights are hanging, bringing good cheer!
Getting back to my review, I like to add the fact that one of the scenes in the book that doesn't appear on the screens is the one where Harry is in the Invisibility Cloak and gets stuck in a broken wood, when Moody and Snape appear. And the first time I've read the book this scene was really creepy. And again, I love how Rowling is playing with our minds and makes us believe something wrong. I love her! I can't wait to continue with the series, because from now on I have forgot so many details. 4.5 stars to this one.
