Book reviews!

-
Hello! After such a long time, I'm back! Yep, computer problems again. But I'm back and posting!
When I was on my 'break', I read some new and interesting books, most of them from my local library, 'My Library', in Jeddah. They have some very exciting books so if you live in Jeddah, it's worth planning a trip there! Anyways, I've been changing my reading level recently. For some strange reason, I've been starting to dislike Enid Blyton and been focusing on different books, and today I am going to review some of those books. (I just couldn't decide which one so I decided to make it a combination post)

Out of My Mind

 Out of My Mind is an amazing book focusing on our daily lives and how we treat the people around us. Melody, aged 11, is a girl gifted with exceptional brains but cannot walk and talk - and her muscles aren't amazing either, so she can't write, chew, or even grip something. This novel is given a 4.9/5 from me, because its charming storytelling weaves through my heart and back.

The Girl who Drank the Moon

 I love books with a sort of sad mysterious setting in them. Especially ones revolving around people who aren't who they seem. This book is fantastic as it zips through different perspectives; Luna's, Antain's, Xan's - it is just incredibly mysterious and such a satisfying book to read as you turn the pages.

The Tail of Emily Windsnap

 I know mermaids are childish but as soon as I saw this book, I had a feeling that it wouldn't be as kiddish as most mermaid stories. When I opened the cover, I was right. The characters of Mr. Beeston, Mandy, Shona, not to mention Emily herself - have personality and flavor which produces the siren-like allure of mermaids themselves.

Olivia's Enchanted Summer

 What can happen when someone falls prey to an Internet scam? This enchanting story about girls walking on tightropes and family secrets gives way to lots of questions which get answered as you progress forward in the story. Who is Evie? Who is that mysterious man chasing them? And most importantly, who is Alfie? It's like putting a jigsaw puzzle together but you don't have all the pieces, and you are given more as you read on.

I hope you try out these amazing books! Remember to comment if you have.

Frozen 2 - movie review

-
I'm writing this right after an hour since I came back from the cinema and let me tell you, Frozen 2 was a treat! Amazing, amazing, amazing!  I was so charmed by it, and my mother sitting next to me literally started fangirling over the water spirit (something I'd never thought she'd do!) Review starts here! Movie name:  Frozen 2 My rating: 5 stars My review: Each scene of this amazing movie is eye candy. The comedy is there, thrown in by Olaf. The intense, sad, scary moments are there, and there is a time when it looks like both sisters are gone for good. I would say that I actually liked this better than the original. Anna finally takes the role of a hero, and Elsa's personality becomes more developed, more than just the protective older sister. We're seeing the next "Let It Go" with the song "Into The Unknown", both of which are remotely similar. The movie was basically a musical - there are about 8-9 songs in it. Each spirit is d...

Ember Falls - book review

As I promised, here is a review of Ember Falls, the second book in the Green Ember series! I do  have more important things to do than write book reviews (such as worry about the characters in Ember's End, which are currently in mortal peril - I'm halfway through the book), but who's judging? No one is!                                            Okay, so where do I begin? This book is a great follow-up to The Green Ember, and I loved it. I don't knooooow how to review it, because it seems very hard to review without spoiling.  Well. I'll have to try. Ember Falls was exhilarating. It was intense. It was thrilling. Okay, maybe not thrilling. That belongs to the third book. But yeah.  Many of the plot twists were unexpected. There was one I saw coming a little early on, maybe because it had been hinted in the first book (a certain betrayal) but it doesn't matter. It ...

The Green Ember - book review

Hi! Today I'm reviewing one of my favorite books (and will review the rest in the series)! I actually kind of thank Covid-19 for happening, because if it hadn't then Audible would have never put out a free collection of books for kids, and I never would have seen the cover and go, "I'm listening to this." So, um, thank you, Covid-19. Anyway...                                                                 *royal trumpet screeches* The Green Ember is probably one of my favorite books to date. It has awesome epic fights, awesome epic plot twists, and awesome epic sibling relationships. (Sorry, Frozen.) Heather and Picket are two ordinary rabbits living an ordinary life with their parents, and baby brother Jacks in a place called Nick Hollow which looks straight out of a Tinker Bell movie. But the sweet little plot goes epic and aw...
