Fantasy Novels & Graphic Novels

📚Discovered this great series, middle grade and summer Camp, school life friendships, about creating music but much more. Get book here 👉Review book 2 pre-ordered book 3 "Don't let anyone write the last line of your story (...) You've got the pen." So in love with this series. I recognized the author (I have the books with the ice-cream characters and was happy to see full novels). These are short but full-of-emotion episodes with amazing values and lessons. I don't think I

Such an amazing cover. I couldn't stop myself from doing some Paper Art. Instead of drawing, I used the cover art by artist Grace Zhu and did some precise cuts to make it 3D-looking in layers. Thank you, Toopling Tours and publisher for this arc copy. Note: I cut the art. The artwork is by the artist responsible for the cover. Genre: YA Romance Publishing date: June 23, 2026 Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | IndieBound Rep: Gay, LGBT+, Sapphic Synopsis: Perfect for fans o

4.3 This one took a great direction because it's personal to Din. The location and the people of these "farms" - slaughterhouses - are home to him, and he will work alongside his sister. The middle is kinda slow and diminishes the enthusiasm, but the end offers a surprising and revelatory confrontation. Ana's obnoxious and snobbish behavior contrasts with this case a lot because she is all facts and no empathy. I think it was on purpose to make Din explode, but it made me tak

👉Just Finished... Review 😁🥰 5 stars Ok. Devoured this one the moment I put my hands on it. So much happening. Let me focus on why this is one of my favorite series. Super cast of characters on both teams. It's like having X-Men, witches, factions, houses, dark/light side... but feeling that there is no safe ground (class, academy) because they fight in the real world and people die. The other side has awesome characters too. Fiora may be the main character, but it doesn't

Simonkidscrew and Simon Elemental An Octupus named Houdini 4.5 Did you know...? We've learned so much about these amazing creatures, not only it has lots of facts at the end, we learn some of them during the story as well. 9 brains? Lived long before humans existed. This in verse fiction story tells us how an octopus wants to be listened, and return home, and sometimes not all humans are bad and lack empathy, sometimes they know exactly what is to be caged, to not be heard an

The Secret Dinner is a November 2026 Release by Macmillan 5+ Brutal and Awesome. I felt a wide range of emotions, from positive to omg I can't deal with this scene.... So dark and violent. It escalates fast, and if it were a movie, it would be worthy of a Fantasporto award. The friends possess all the skills necessary to make this terrible idea flourish. At first, they just needed to pay rent, but they got trapped in the darkest part of human nature when greed and power combi

Unfortunately, nothing goes as planned, and they will have to make some decisions and stand up for their beliefs, even if that means not being accepted (by bull

1️⃣ Can you believe Polly is 10 years old? I've done this art for a game, but decided to print the game scenario. I am very grateful to all of those who have given me reviews on Amazon, where you can find my books. I am making an accordion book with Polly art. 2️⃣ I have a GIVEAWAY: I will illustrate one of the poems from this book, Carnivorous Sky, which is a horror novel in verse, and make a giveaway for newsletter subscribers. I will randomly pick a USA resident from the c

Miranda needs something to write about in her college application essays. But what? Miranda has a plan: ace her junior year, get into an Ivy League school, and skip anything that doesn’t look good on a college application. But the pressure is getting to her, and now her parents have cut her off from every club, competition, and committee she’s a part of. Desperate to get back on track, Miranda sets her sights on the Texas Water Safari—a 260-mile canoe race her mom was set to

Lauren Carr Thursday Mysteries: As I announced before, here is the review for book 2 of #macfaradaymysteries 👉 Join this series if you like conspiracy, high society, political intrigue & corruption, noble villains, great police dog who got "fired" Volume 1 - #itsmurderson Volume 2 - #oldlovesdiehard This one was breathtaking, with always something happening and a twist when the characters (and us) think they have grasped the answer. This is not an easy one. Mac is about to l

Today finished these 4 henryheckelber 5 stars We loved this one. We had a few theories about what was going on, but we didn't discover the truth before Henry did. Such a fun, author-of-detective-books-related read with a fun investigation kid relatable. Every page has illustrations. The story is satisfying in so few pages, perfect for reluctant readers. #thesuperroomies 4 stars Fun humor, fun superhero group with powers, hilarious action in this episode. The drawings are simp

All have a sweet cozy home to return to, even if it's the warm hug of a beloved one. Amazing art, beautiful cover with golden shimmering letters and flowers. #goinghomewithdad 5 sta

DESTINTY & DISASTER 5+ This is a duology in one single volume with large font and spaces. If you've never read this author, jump into these right now. I could not stop. I love magic family stories, think Practical Magic with a middle-grade main character, high school and college (cousin in the second part), and older generation (of female characters) that will please all ages. (Adults who love cozy, magic realism, supernatural, and series like Goodwitch and Just Add Magic) Sw

📚 Bookmail 🦋 😱Already jumped into #fearfiles coming July and omg so cool loved it I loved this one and will definitely follow the series. 5+ Hide and Seek game turned into a creepy hunt with all the variations of this game (great research and extras commenting on the story, like a X file case). Well written, full of content but not too long nor overwhelming. Loved the crescendo of creepiness, visual descriptions, and book illustrations. Did not know some of the Egyptian fa

This was and still is one of the most inspiring youtubers I followed since the beginning of the Tea Dragon Society creation. 🥰5 stars This is the start, if you knew the YouTube artist author then you know how much work it went into the extra lore, character design, and heartfelt story. This first volume is shorter (in story) than the others but it's a curated story made from loads of hard work and, amazing art. We get to know the characters, the tea dragons and their types,

What the Road Said 5+ stars 🌟 For all ages, all states of mind and emotion, the road speaks to us in our life's journey with simple but powerful words of encouragement. A book for all of us, even for those who fear books and try to ban them. Beautiful artwork, beautiful high-quality case perfect for collectors as well or to gift. #whattheroadsaid #cleowade Get book here, sale for limit time

Check out this new volume yay! 5 🌟 stars This is such an educational fun series. Lots of vocabulary associated with soccer (the other football eheh). New coach?? Oh no. And for some reason )we'll have to find out) she hates Alex! Such a grumpy Jenny Coach is not to be judged by the cover (expression) and neither is this team of unique characters. I love the illustrations, the humor, and the message, which is always positive and inspirational. The specific vocabulary is highl
