My rating: 4 out of 5


My thoughts:
I wanted to read this book because I remember starting it as a kid and never finishing it. I am glad I finally picked it up to reread it! It was a bit slow at the beginning, which is why I rated it a 4 out of 5, but once I got into it more, I was hooked. I finished over half of the book in only three days during my breaks at work. Overall, I'm super happy with this book and I am looking forward to reading the other two books in the trilogy now.

This book was about a 12 year old girl named Meggie who was whisked away on a journey following her father being kidnapped. Since she was raised by only her father, a man who repairs old books for a living, she wanted nothing more than to rescue him after he was taken away. She discovered a whole new world that was, literally, only a few printed words away. She is faced with a villain that was from another world who wanted to conquer Meggie's world. In this story, Meggie learns about the power of herself, her family, and the people around her.

This book may be for you if you like:
  • Young adult reads
  • Fantasy
  • No spice
  • Books about books
If you ever want to relive your childhood, look in the children's section of the bookstore! This took me on a very fun journey back to my middle school reading years and I'm so glad I picked this up.

Spice-o-meter: My Spice Rating System

  Hello, fellow bookworms! I decided that since I recently posted a review of The Spanish Love Deception (which I rated a 2 of 5 for spice), I should probably make a post about my "spice" ratings, which I have now named my "Spice-o-meter". I want to make it clear that the Spice-o-meter does NOT effect the overall rating of the book! I am okay with no spice and I'm okay with spice, I just know that some people have other preferences for the books they read. Spice-free: Nothing beyond some kisses, hugging, etc. If one of my reviews doesn't have a "spice-o-meter" listed in it, it's safe to assume that it is spice-free. 1 of 5: May include hands, more kissing, "fade to black" scenes. No in-detail spice. Any books that have discussion of spice will be included in this category, even if no spice actually happens. I will write a disclaimer in my review if this is the case, because I know some people prefer books with actual spice. 2 of 5

Powerless

  Powerless by Lauren Roberts Title: Powerless Author: Lauren Roberts Genre: Fantasy Published in: 2023 Age suggestion: Young adult and up Spice-o-meter: No spice My rating: 4 out of 5 My thoughts: This book I thought was pretty good. The first half of it, I got major Hunger Games vibes from it and I was a bit nervous about how the story was going to turn out, but it got so good! Don't get me wrong, I like The Hunger Games , I just was nervous that it was going to be too similar of a storyline. There were definitely parts of it that were inspired by them, but the story took a very different turn. I got addicted to this book. It took me a while to get into (I've been reading it off and on again for a month) but I finished over half of it in a couple of days. The end had a lot of action and ended on a cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next books to come out. I am definitely going to be continuing this series as it comes out. In this book, it is split perspective between a g

What About Me

  What About Me by Tiara Vazquez This post will contain spoilers! Title: What About Me Author: Tiara Vazquez Genre: Paranormal Romance Published in: 2022 Age suggestion: 18+ Spice-o-meter: 2 out of 5 My rating: 5 out of 5 My thoughts: I really loved this book! It was another Kindle read that I found because I'm in a Facebook reading group with the author and she was promoting her book. I downloaded it on Kindle Unlimited and I absolutely loved it. It isn't my normal read because I normally don't read paranormal stuff, but I wanted to read something from another undiscovered, new author. This one has probably been my favorite undiscovered book I've read. This book had a big plot twist at the end that I honestly didn't expect, and a beautiful ending in my opinion. This book was about a girl named Ivy who believed that a new woman at her fiancé's company (where she also worked) was trying to steal him from her. She had very bad anxiety and a past with infidelity,
