5 Reasons You Should Read The Seven Realms Series

Kaya @ afictionalbookworm

Hi friends! Today I wanted to list five reasons why you should read the Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima. So here we goooooooo!   1. Kingdom? No Thank You, How About A Queendom? Yup, this book has a queendom. You know what that means- kick-butt female characters! 2. Thieves Are Totally A Thing. Come on Kaz Brekker fangirls, where you at? Seriously though, Han Alister is conniving, clever, and surprisingly lovable. 3. Wizards And Clans And Gangs, Oh My! Heck yeah there’s a series that has all of these things, and more! There’s so much to this world, yet it’s … Continue reading 5 Reasons You Should Read The Seven Realms Series

Tag Tuesday: Summertime Reads

Kaya @ afictionalbookworm

Hi, friends! I’m excited to be participating in Top 5 Tuesday this week, it seems like so much fun! It’s hosted by Shanah @ Bionic Bookworm. Today’s topic is Summertime Reads, and I’m slightly regretting the amount of contemporaries I’ve read (probably like five in my entire life) so we’ll see how this goes. The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan The Kane Chronicles aren’t as popular as the Percy Jackson series, but I love them all the same! Because it’s a fun adventure that’s not too dark, I’d say this is a great series to add to your summer TBR pile! Geekerella by … Continue reading Tag Tuesday: Summertime Reads

Harry Potter Anniversary Week Day Seven: A Thank You

Kaya @ afictionalbookworm

Hi friends! I didn’t get a chance to do yesterday’s but I’m back for the final day of HP anniversary posts! Today, I’m writing a thank you letter so hopefully it comes across semi-coherent? Dear J.K. Rowling,  Thank you. Thank you for giving us a legacy, a change, a dynasty that will forever change YA. I could write a hundred, a thousand, a million words and it still wouldn’t be enough. But as you look around at the children who dress up as wizards and witches, at the adults who chug butterbeers together, at the legions of people who quote … Continue reading Harry Potter Anniversary Week Day Seven: A Thank You

Harry Potter Anniversary Week Day Five: Ships!

Kaya @ afictionalbookworm

Hi friends! Today, I’m going to be talking about two of my favorite things: Harry Potter and ships! I’m only counting romantic ships (come on, Sirius and Harry’s relationship? Luna and Harry’s friendship? FRED AND GEORGE?) so let’s get started: 1. Harry and Hermione My Wizarding World OTP! I always thought Harry and Hermione had far more chemistry than either Ron and Hermione or Harry and Ginny. Like, the dancing scene? And the way Hermione doesn’t abandon Harry like somebody else *cough Ron*cough cough* did? You can’t deny how cute they are together I SHIP IT SO HARD!   2. … Continue reading Harry Potter Anniversary Week Day Five: Ships!

Kaya @ afictionalbookworm

Hi friends! I’m back with another HP anniversary post but first I wanted to say that I will be gone this week. I’ll have posts going up but if don’t respond to your comments right away, that’s why (I promise I’m not ignoring you!) I can’t wait to see y’all again! Anyway, I didn’t actually read the Harry Potter books until I was eleven, considering I wasn’t allowed to but let me tell you, when I did I fell so hard into the fandom! I don’t really have an actual story to tell so I’m just going to confess some of … Continue reading Harry Potter Anniversary Week Day Four: A Harry Potter Related Story

Film Review: The Incredibles 2

Kaya @ afictionalbookworm

Hi friends! Last weekend for Father’s Day, my family and I went to go see The Incredibles 2. I’ve been toying with the idea of reviewing it in my head considering I know nothing about films but I’m gonna give it a shot! Things I Liked: The focus on Elastigirl! It was such a clever move on Disney’s part showing that it’s possible to be a mom and still kick-butt. “Why did they change math?!” I loved the relationships in this. Like, the way everyone interacted with each other added a depth to the characters that wasn’t in the first movie. It … Continue reading Film Review: The Incredibles 2
