Harry Potter And The Half-blood Prince
by J.K. Rowling
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince is the sixth book in the series. In this book the Death Eaters have gone crazy not only in the Wizarding world but also in the Muggle world. Muggles are people who don't do magic. Now Hogwarts is no longer a safe place for the students. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

4 stars (originally 3.5 stars, but I changed my mind) As I said in my initial review, the author paints out scenes like laying paint on a canvas. I made sure to update my goodreads notes as I went along for this journey to know what to say. I originally rated this book 5 stars, it then went down to 3.5 for a few reasons: - Too many characters to keep track of, I felt it could’ve been slimed down a bit or instead make note of characters. (For example, not saying to take Morgana out, but mention her as Alex’s ex-wife and note some differences and reasons they divorced.) - The interrogations felt a bit like casual conversations, not so much as a police officer hard on getting information. Even at that it felt like Alex got too much credit at times even though it felt like surrounding characters did more work. - It felt that sometimes things were drawn out a bit or just slow, I felt that way with part 1. Other than those reasons I really did enjoy the book. The killer’s POV and life story really grabbed me. Honestly I felt that the story could’ve been from their POV the entire time or took up most of the book. At times I felt that there were things added for shock value, but the end (specifically part 4) tied it together for me and really made me like how this killer was written. This book as a whole is definitely differe from other thrillers. The characters are interesting and the motives are intriguing. I do plan on reading “The Rocks” by this author soon. Thank you to Celadon Books and Bookish First for an ARC of this book!

Chainsaw Man Volume 12 delivers a bold and gripping start as a part 2. High schooler Asa uneasy blend of teenage angst and her devil power brings fresh tension. The new characters, dark stakes, and a momentum that hooks hard brutal, weird, and utterly compelling.

The Adventures Of Pinocchio
by Carlo Collodi

book cover


This remains the original manuscript, penned in 1883 by Carlo Lorezzizi ( aka C.Collodi), which inspired the 1940 animated Disney masterpiece. Delightfully written with rich details of Italian provincial life, this book significantly differs from its whimsical cinematic counterpart in both tone and characterizations; however, youngsters of all ages will surely enjoy this simple tale of a mischievous wooden marionette whose growing appreciation of his father Gepetto's love, transforms him into his real-life son. *For those parents who cherish bed-time storytelling for their children, a word of caution is advised; some chapters are graphic in both violence and dark imagery, and literary discretion is necessary for the very young sleepy set toddlers.*

I did not like this. it has too much potential to be good but it was not. the ending was a shock and i wanted more to happen but i wanted less to happen also. although it was 88 pages i wanted was. i was confused the entire time and just didn’t enjoy it overall.
