Reading Habits + Readabits Tag Mashup

 I have done 3 book tags on this blog so far, and they are really fun! 🀩πŸ₯° This is one that I’ve been wanting do for a while, and I think the questions are going to be really fun to answer. This is a mashup of the Reading Habits Tag (created by TheBookJazz) and the Readahabits Tag (I couldn’t find the original video). They both are pretty similar so it makes sense to do it in one post. Ok - on to the tag(s)! πŸ˜„ Reading Habits Tag:  1. Do you have a certain place at home for reading?  Kind of - I mostly read on my bed (like 80 something % of the time). I used to read a lot while eating (a meal), but unfortunately that was discontinued πŸ˜’πŸ˜© (hi Mama). I read almost everywhere in the house really!

Wizards Of Once - Cressida Cowell

Image
Before I begin I would like to apologize for the big gap between my previous review and this one - I just didn't really feel like writing it. That said, I hope you enjoy reading this and maybe it will inspire you to pick up the book for yourself! 13-year-old wizard Xar wants magic more than anything. One day he decides to set out into the Badwoods to capture a witch and steal her magic.  Xar is greatly surprised when he captures Wish, a warrior princess, and her assistant bodyguard Bodkin.  Wizards and Warriors have been enemies for ages, so they both are a little put-off.  Xar, Wish and Bodkin then go on a perilous journey and become unlikely allies.  With witches, mean queens, sprites with attitude and dungeons - this book is a truly wild ride.  About the Author:  Cressida Cowell grew up in London on a small, uninhabited off the west coast of Scotland.  She has a BA in English Literature from Oxford University, a BA in Graphic Design from St Martin's...

Don't freak out, but it's the middle of the year. πŸ˜± πŸ˜… Note: re-reads are not included.  What is the best book you have read so far this year?  πŸ“šπŸ’– I always find it impossible to narrow this down, but here are my top 6 of 2021 so far: The Remarkable Journey Of Coyote Sunrise - Dan Gemeinhart All The Impossible Things - Lindsay Lackey Brown Girl Dreaming - Jacqueline Woodson A Pinch Of Magic - Michelle Harrison The Unadoptables - Hana Tooke Starfish - Lisa Fipps What is the best sequel you have read so far this year?

I do talk about it in my review of the first Keeper of the Lost Cities (link towards the end of this post). A new release that you haven’t read yet but want to - Glitter Gets Everywhere - by Yvette Clark Most anticipated release for the second half of the year? I don’t really...
