Book Review: Pan’s Labyrinth

Hello lovelies! Since it’s October, I HAVE to review my most recent spooky read. Over my family’s lake visit a few weeks ago I read Pan’s Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun by Guillermo del Toro and Cornelia Funke.

Hello beautiful! I haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump, but I finally escaped it with the new(ish) Hunger Games prequel.

The Sun Is Also A Star Review

Hello lovelies! So I’m once again very behind on reviewing popular YA books. What a surprise.

Arc of a Scythe: Scythe and Thunderhead

Hello beautiful! A few weeks ago, I picked up the book Scythe by Neal Shusterman on a whim. I think it’s probably been recommended to me before, but I don’t remember when. The premise was very intriguing, and the covers are unique. Anyway, since then, I’ve found and read the second book as well. ThisContinue reading “Arc of a Scythe: Scythe and Thunderhead”
