book cover


Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth book in the series. In this book it is Harry Potter's fourth year at Hogwarts. He is chosen to be a competitor for the Triwizard Tournament. The Triwizard Tournament is a competition for wizards between three different wizard schools. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.
Wrong Place, Wrong Time

Although I typically enjoy time travel novels, I wasn’t a fan of this one. It was convoluted and disconnected at times. The character development of the minor characters was weak. At least four times I had to search for characters mentioned to find out their significance to the storyline. I read to the end -I’m not a quitter - but it was a disappointing read for me.

5 stars I decided to read the story then the introduction by Zadie Smith first and it was really insightful. This book is told in the perspective of Twyla and we see her and Roberta at the age of eight at shelter, years later in life, and a few after that. What we are told from the beginning is that one is black and one is white: the only way to tell the difference is based on their experiences and relationships. After reading Zadie Smith’s introduction, it really got my brain to thinking. Now I don’t want to spoil events in this short story so i’ll put it like this: Studies showed that white readers believe Twyla is white and black readers think vise versa. I believe she is passing. Roberta for sure I felt was black, based on descriptions of her, her mom and what she was doing. But the reason for feeling that Twyla is black, but white passing is due to descriptions of her mom wearing powder (which if you know about history on slaves, when they were gifted to the slave master’s daughter: to distinguish them from the field slaves they wore powders to make themselves lighter), her not knowing about Jimi Hendrix, her braiding Roberta’s hair. Small details I notice along the way and Zadie Smith’s insight as well. But in all this for sure is a 5 star read for me.

3.5 stars. This was a beautiful story about intergenerational friendship that reflected the goodness (and evil) in our world. It touched on the themes of racism, sexuality, and how we form our chosen families. Just when I thought I knew what this story was about, it revealed another dimension. Simple prose but a powerful message.

touching; neat and tidy despite the fact that it sprawled across ~450 pages. strong worldbuilding that didn't feel confined to its own rules (cowslip's warren, efrafra) and strong character silhouettes and impressions (fiver, hazel, bigwig, silverweed, and so on). it grew on me, the longer i read.

I loved this book. The main character and her devlopment in the book is amazing and the way the book is written is very mature yet very realistic in term of the world we live in. I also like the MMC character development as well and being able to hate him and like him all at once.

ROAD TRIP WITH A VAMPIRE is the third and final literary installment in author Jenna Levine's " MY VAMPIRE " trilogy ; it is also the least satisfying of the series and is quite a disappointment for those whose interests were sparked by the previous two novels . Released in 2025 , the storyline centers around a resurrected , centuries old witch named Zelda Turret who has found a new identity as a somewhat dedicated yoga instructor in a trendy town . Much like Cassie and Amelia , the two previous heroines in the trilogy , Zelda is romantically unattached and is an " outsider " of sorts , not quite at ease with the comfortable family centered environment which her working peers share . One evening , during after work hours , Zelda encounters Peter , an exceedingly handsome stranger who also shares with her a d

I have had this book for over a year, scared that I will start it and it will not be good. I could not have been so wrong. I was finding any time in class to read this book and I wish I started it earlier. Before reading this book I was team Edward, and as much as I want to read the next book, I am scared. I am not ready for a love triangle, which is always my least favorite trope. I would recommend this book to almost anyone. I loved it so much and I need to watch the movie ASAP. I am glad I read the book before watching the movie, or else I feel that I would not have enjoyed it that much.
