2009 - by Aditya Koppula

Title: 2009

Author: Aditya Koppula

Published: 18 Jul 2020

Series: -

Rating: 3 stars

Synopsis:

Just when everything is going normally, we all come across that "one year" that throws everything at us. "2009" is a poetic short story that explores the human reaction to opportunities, love, empathy and inner strength.

I received a copy of this book in return for an honest review.

As I had previously read the author's other book, when I started reading this I thought that this would also be a poetry book for some reason. If I had looked a little closer at the front cover, I would have seen that it even told me it was a poetic short story. Whoops! Because of that I was a little confused when most of it turned out to be in short story format, but it was still a nice and quick read.

Many of us either have a relationship or a good career, and the lucky ones get both.

This story doesn't follow the story of the author, but an Australian character called Joanna. In the bio of the author on Goodreads, however, it does also state that the events in the book are inspired by true events.

There were a couple of times where I thought there was a little too much description of something, but it didn't detract from the storyline too much. There were also a couple of times when the problems in another country were put into perspective right in front of your eyes which is good though as it gives you a little bit of a wake up call to what's truly going on in the world.

What happened towards the end of the book between Joanna and Ethan is something I wouldn't have predicted if you'd asked me at the beginning of the book. The author does describe the feeling of this situation very well though, and I'm sure everyone has that one bad situation which reading this may bring back feelings of anger or resentment about.

Overall, this was a good book to read as it was nice to follow along with Joanna's story with the odd poem thrown in about how she was feeling and what she was going through too.

We all have that one year that changes our lives forever. Mine was 2009. What's yours?

Romanov - by Nadine Brandes

Title: Romanov

Author: Nadine Brandes

Published: 7 May 2019

Series: -

Rating: 3 stars

Synopsis:

The history books say I died.
They don’t know the half of it. 
Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov was given a single mission: to smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase on her way to exile in Siberia. It might be her family’s only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them, and he’s hunted Romanov before.
Nastya’s only chances of saving herself and her family are to either release the spell and deal with the consequences, or enlist help from Zash, the handsome soldier who doesn’t act like the average Bolshevik. Nastya has only dabbled in magic, but it doesn’t frighten her half as much as her growing attraction to Zash. She likes him. She thinks he might even like her.
That is, until she’s on one side of a firing squad . . . and he’s on the other.

I received this book as an ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review. I also then purchased the book and listened to it as an audiobook.

While reading this book I was enjoying reading about the, at least slightly fictitious, life of the Romanovs as I've never really learned about them in my life -- only what I know from watching the Disney movie Anastasia when I was younger. I also adore the cover on this book! the reds and golds look stunning against the solid black

However, I was hoping that there would be a little more magic than what was presented throughout the book. Most of the time we either see relief spells or are shown/told about the Romanov doll.

There were a handful of times where I felt as if one or more of the Romanov children were forgotten about or simply glossed over. I understand that this wasn't a story from their point of view, but it would have been nice to hear more than just something like "Olga stayed behind to read to mother".

One romance I didn't mind seeing in this was between Evan and Maria and my heart felt for Maria when they were caught together during the surprise inspection and the consequences that came afterwards for them.

My three favourite characters would probably have to be Nastya, Alexei and Nikolai (their father). The bond between Nastya and Nikolai, and also Nastya and Alexei would never be broken in this story, my guess is -- only death could seperate them and even then their love would never disappear.

I may have only given this book 3 stars, but I wouldn't mind reading it again at a later date.

My favourite quote from the book is below:

"We are Romanovs. The bond of our hearts spans miles, memory and time."

Spoilers!

The romantic-type moments between Zash and Nastya weren't too bad and they were just subtle enough to make them believable -- especially when trying to stay unseen while portraying a severe Bolshevik soldier. Towards the end the romantic moments heightened though and I didn't get as into them as I did when the entire family was in the house in confinement. I would have been happy to just see the pair as friends in the end though.

End Spoilers!

Enchantée - by Gita Trelease

Title: Enchantée

Author: Gita Trelease

Published: 21 Feb 2019

Series: Enchantée #1

Rating: 4 stars

Synopsis:

Paris in 1789 is a city filled with beggars, thieves, revolutionaries - and magicians...
Seventeen-year-old orphan Camille has to provide for her frail sister and her volatile brother. They survive by using the pretty magic she learnt from their mother - transforming scrap material into coins. But when things take a turn for the worse, Camille must pursue a more dangerous mark: the glittering court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's Versailles.
Using magic, Camille transforms herself into a glamorous Baroness. But as she is swept up into a dizzying world of riches and finery, suitors and revolutionaries, Camille soon discovers that she's not the only one leading a double life.

I listened to this as an audiobook.

I loved the way that the narrator, Justine Eyre, pronounced the French words that were mentioned as, at least to my untrained ears, it sounded like someone French was speaking the words.

This was the first book I have read by Gita Trelease and I really like the way that she explained the world building and what was going on around the character in France. I did get a little confused between characters sometimes though, possibly because of the French names, but I was able to keep pace with the story by what was happening to each character to keep them apart from one another.

This book reminded me a little bit of the story of Cinderella -- a young girl who simply wants to go to the ball to escape her life at home and the troubles that keep her there; a girl who is able to find love in another world and become a part of it, though she wasn't born into it; a girl who is able to find friendship and her happily ever after in either of the worlds she sees.

I did guess that Lazare may have also been putting on a disguise to deal with his day to day life and I was both right and wrong. Camille's brother, however, was the one character I hated from the very start because of the way that he treated his sisters and how no matter what they gave to him it was still never enough to satisfy him.

Another thing that I really liked about this book was that there was a gay couple in Camille's inner circle but it wasn't treated as a big scandal or anything like that -- it was treated as a normal thing! I know that wouldn't be historically accurate, but I also didn't really care as they made a cute pair and it worked within the story.

I'm also not sure which cover I like more, the one pictured or the one with the face on the cover as I do like them both.

Come Tumbling Down - by Seanan McGuire

Title: Come Tumbling Down

Author: Seanan McGuire

Published: 7 Jan 2020

Series: Wayward Children #5

Rating: 2 stars

Synopsis:

When Jack left Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children she was carrying the body of her deliciously deranged sister--whom she had recently murdered in a fit of righteous justice--back to their home on the Moors.
But death in their adopted world isn't always as permanent as it is here, and when Jack is herself carried back into the school, it becomes clear that something has happened to her. Something terrible. Something of which only the maddest of scientists could conceive. Something only her friends are equipped to help her overcome.
Eleanor West's "No Quests" rule is about to be broken.
Again.

I listened to this as an audiobook.

While I still love how short and sweet the books in this series are and how slightly twisted they are too, I felt like this one didn't really need to be written -- or at least not added into the series, maybe?

It's good seeing the Moors in a bit of a new light and seeing how they need opposites to keep everything balanced in the world. But did we really need to come back to the Moors? How many other characters in the School for Wayward Children are there that we could have read about? I'd love to see a book about Kade or Cora and what they got up to in their own world's and if they ever get back to them.

This book was still pretty good, don't get me wrong, but I just don't feel like it had the same sort of zing that sucks you right in like some of the others in the series did.

I still don't quite see why Jack and Alexis went back to get some of the other children from the school to help Jack do what she needed to in the Moors as she seemed to do nearly all of the work by herself. The big battle at the end almost didn't need to happen as we didn't hear about it start and then suddenly it's over when we hear about what happened to Jill.

Hopefully in the next book it will be about a new character we haven't heard about before or at least not really seen to add some freshness back into the series.

One moment I did love was when Tsumi said this:

"The world doesn't stop spinning because you're sad, and that's good; if it did, people would go around breaking hearts like they were sheets of maple sugar, just to keep the world exactly where it is. They'd make it out like it was a good thing, a few crying children in exchange for a peace that never falters or fades. We can be sad and we can be hurt and we can even be killed, but the world keeps turning, and the things we're supposed to do keep needing to be done."

My Brother's Name is Jessica - by John Boyne

Title: My Brother's Name is Jessica

Author: John Boyne

Published: 18 April 2019

Series: -

Rating: 2 stars

Synopsis:

Sam Waver's life has always been pretty quiet. A bit of a loner, he struggles to make friends, and his busy parents often make him feel invisible.
Luckily for Sam, his older brother, Jason, has always been there for him. Sam idolises Jason, who seems to have life sorted - he's kind, popular, amazing at football, and girls are falling over themselves to date him.
But then one evening Jason calls his family together to tell them that he's been struggling with a secret for a long time. A secret which quickly threatens to tear them all apart. His parents don't want to know and Sam simply doesn't understand.
Because what do you do when your brother says he's not your brother at all? That he's actually your sister?

I listened to this as an audiobook.

Unfortunately, I hadn't read any of the reviews of this book before I bought myself a paperback copy -- the main reason I'd purchased it being that it sounded like I might like it and I liked the rainbow-type colours on the front.

I was wrong, however.

While I didn't hate this book, it also wasn't for me. After also having read some other reviews I've noticed that they're thinking along the same sort of lines that I am.

I didn't mind that the point of view was written by Jessica's younger brother, but it was definitely annoying when Same referred to his sibling as "my big brother, Jason" every single time he went to talk about Jason.

The story also isn't as much about Jessica, and more along the lines of Sam dealing with the information he's been given suddenly. Also really didn't like how their parents almost ignored them their entire lives up until the point where Jessica being hot news in the papers ruins their mother's chance at being P.M. -- that's when the parents finally wake up and realise that they've just handed their children off to a million other people besides themselves and now they're teenagers.

I do understand that Sam didn't necessarily understand what was going on as he had been brought up to essentially think that there was no such thing as transgender. However, whether you believe those that say they're transgender or think it's a bunch of bologna -- they exist and they are human beings just like you!

One part I really liked was when the coach of the school football team showed up and wanted to know whether Jason would be leaving the football team thanks to the rumours throughout the school about their family. The coach didn't see a male or a female on the team -- he saw a human being who was a damn good player who he didn't want to lose.

2020 O.W.Ls - Magical Readathon

The Magical Readthon O.W.Ls are usually done in April and the Magical Readathon N.E.W.Ts are in August. But it's ultimately up to you if/when you do them as everyone's different and everyone has different things happening I their life.

If anyone else would like to, then feel free to join in with me!


UPDATE:

While I didn't have any specific career in mind when I started my O.W.Ls and just wanted to see how much I could read following the prompts, I managed to finish O.W.Ls for three magical careers -- Astronomer, Graphic Designer, and Trader of Magical Tomes.

For my N.E.W.Ts in August I'll choose one of those three magical careers and try and finish the magical reading exams for them and see how I go. I'm proud of myself for reading as much as I did though and audiobooks were definitely my friend this month!



How It Works:

This month-long magical readathon was started by G from Book Roast (go check out her YouTube and Instagram if you haven't already! She's such an amazing human being!) This readathon is based on the exams that the Hogwarts students take in the Harry Potter books and movies - their O.W.Ls (Ordinay Wizarding Levels) and their N.E.W.Ts (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests).

All the extra documents, like the invitation letter (which includes reading prompts) and the careers guidebook are linked in the description section of the announcement video on G's YouTube channel and are also available on the website too. They are absolutely free to download and check out!

After you select a career (although you don't have to if you don't want to), you can check out the prompt list which details the type of book you need to read to "pass" the subject. If you want to know more just check out G's YouTube channel!



Important FAQs:

I copied these from one of the extra documents from G's website (magicalreadathon.com) just in case anyone else wanted to join in! I still recommend going and watching her YouTube video though where it's all explained much better than I could ever explain it, plus there's other FAQs on the website you can read if you want too!

Are the prompts the same each time?
No! The prompts change each year to give us some variety.

Are rereads allowed?
Absolutely! Especially of the Harry Potter books ;)

Can I carry on reading a book I've already started?
Unless specified as one of our special prompts all reads must be started and finished within the readathon time frame.

Can I read one book for multiple prompts?
Unfortunately not, it's one exam per book.



Magical Careers:

There are many different magical careers you could choose from and G has even included some new ones which were suggested by subscribers in her YouTube comments!

The different careers (old and new) are:

- Alchemist

This is a new little section which is basically adding on to your TBR for your chosen career. If you want to do a little something extra but don't want to pick a second career or if you want to follow the rules (I'm looking at you, Slytherins!) then why not check out the prompts for these (hopefully I've summed these up correctly, but check out G's website or YouTube channel to read them in full):

2020 Reading Challenge - Monthly Key Words

I wanted to do another year long reading challenge so after some Googling, I found this particular one on GIRLXOXO. It seems pretty interesting and I've never tried one like this before so I thought I'd give it a shot!

There's even a hashtag they created for if you share any social media photos about it -- #MonthlyKeyWordGXO

You can also link back to them in the posts if you'd like to -- Kim is chapter_adventure on Instagram. Kim and Tanya also share an Instagram for their blog which is awesomerxoxo on Instagram.

I'll edit this as I finish corresponding books to help me keep track and to keep you up to date!



How It Works:

This reading challenge runs for the entire year of 2020, and each month has six "key words" (hence the "Monthly Key Word" title of the challenge -- it's a fairly self-explanatory title).

The title can be a variation on the key word, so instead of 'water' you could read a book with the word 'waterfall' in the title. Eg, using 'water' as a prefix.

You're also allowed to tweak the key words to help you out! so instead of using the key word 'forest', you could read a book with the word 'tree' or 'woods' in the title. Eg, synonyms for 'forest'. 



The Key Words:

JANUARY: Water, This, Hello, Sun, New, Six

FEBRUARY: Girl, Any, Love, Red, Note, Throne

MARCH: Dream, Day, In, House, Luck, Friend

APRIL: Lost, Below, City, Jewel, Night, My

MAY: Sky, Name, Blue, Book, Enchant, Is

JUNE: And, Beach, Number, Wish, Down, Word

JULY: Boy, Last, Day, Into, Dear, Summer

AUGUST: Kiss, Flower, When, Happy, North, Right

SEPTEMBER: Star, Cry, She, Window, Forever, Eye

OCTOBER: Haunt, Around, Shadow, Grave, Murder, Deep

NOVEMBER: Look, Forest, Out, Colour, Lock, Now

DECEMBER: Sword, Magic, Fly, Of, Silver, Crown



Key Words Completed:

I haven't managed to read something for every single month, so I'll leave out the months where I didn't read anything that corresponds to the keywords for that month.

2019 N.E.W.Ts - Magical Readathon

Normally the Magical Readthon O.W.Ls would be done in April and the Magical Readathon N.E.W.Ts done in August. But I'm behind, like usual, and I really want to do them this year instead of waiting for April 2020. I want to stick to the rules as much as possible - so I've decided I'd do my O.W.Ls in August and my N.E.W.Ts in September!

As we have finally hit September, so it begins!

If anyone else is in the same boat as me then feel free to join in with me!

Advanced warning: this post is going to be quite long as I'm not going with any specific career this year so I'm mainly just seeing what I do and don't complete therefore everything will be listed below.

Get comfy...



How It Works:

This month-long magical readathon was started by G from Book Roast (go check out her YouTube and Instagram if you haven't already!) This readathon is based on the exams that the Hogwarts students take in the Harry Potter books and movies - their O.W.Ls (Ordinay Wizarding Levels) and their N.E.W.Ts (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests).

After you select a career (although you don't have to if you don't want to), you can check out the prompt list which details the type of book you need to read to "pass" the subject. If you want to know more just check out G's YouTube channel!

In the O.W.Ls you only need to finish one book per subject, however in the N.E.W.Ts you may be required to read multiple books per subject to prove your skill.

Each subject in the N.E.W.Ts will contain three prompts -- each for a specified grade. If you check your career guide, under the N.E.W.Ts section of your chosen profession you will find your required subjects and also a required grade. Check the N.E.W.Ts study guide and find your required subject. Next to the subject it will have three prompts, one for each grade.

To get an Outstanding you have to complete the two prompts before it. This means you have to read three books, completing the prompt for Acceptable, Exceeded Expectations and Outstanding.

Important FAQs:

I copied these from one of the extra documents from the description in G's YouTube video just in case anyone else wanted to join in! I still recommend going and watching her YouTube video though where it's all explained much better than I could ever explain it, plus there's other FAQs you can read if you want too!
