Book talk- End of 2020/Beginning of 2021

Hi! I hope you enjoy this Book talk!

This series is aimed to provide a recap and quick overview of the books I reviewed this month.

I have reviewed these books, Inheritence by Carole Wilkinson, Drama by Raina Telgemeier and To Be Mona by Kelly Easton.

A quick recap:

Inheritence- Nic, who moves to go live with her grandfather in a old, remote family home but this house has no reception, 30 rooms and 3 dogs. When Nic had nothing to do she went to search for clues about her mother who died the day that Nic was born. When Nic found magical stones to make her go back in time, she discovers much more about the deep and dark past.

Drama- Drama is set during a school production. Callie had always been in stage crew because she can't sing. At all. She's determined, however, to make something that could be at broadway with a middle school budget. But what happens when the tickets are down and the stage crew are having trouble working as a team? Callie still has her own problems to solve. Not to mention eighth grade formal...

To Be Mona- Sage Priestly wanting to reinvent herself. She wants to get rid of her extra fat, unpaid bills and the crazy Mum. Sage has a teenage crush on Roger Willis, but him being "Mona's boyfriend" adds another reason to hate and be jealous of Mona. Sage gets an lucky ending but it wasn't how she thought it would be. Vern, Sage's "best friend" starts a fight with Sage. Mona and Sage have a school project together and Mona invites Sage over and some secrets are revealed...

The book I liked the best was Inheritance because I found it the most interesting in terms of plot. The main character, Nic, is really relatable and grows as a person over the book which was extremely fun to reflect on. Carole Wilkinson did a great job at developing her characters back story and history,  which made it lots more enjoyable to read and created an element of suspense.

Here is some information on these books,

This series provides  a quick overview/rundown of the books i reviewed this 





Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.


A quick recap,


Little Women- Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy are sisters, who are all distinctively different. This book is about their hardships, triumphs and adventures while growing up and post marriage.

Book talk- So far 2020

Hi! Hope you enjoy the FIRST Book talk for 2020!

I have reviewed these books:

The Peacock Detectives by Carly Nugent, Born to Dance by Jean Ure and Truth Cookies by Fiona Dunbar.

A quick recap:

The Peacock Detectives- Cassie a Peacock Whisperer (kind of, she's just really good at tracking Peacocks) had a really great, normal life up until now. Her parents start fighting any time they see each other, her sister moves out (into the Garden) and dramas follow.

Born to Dance- Maddy, a ballet dancer was asked by Miss Lucas her gym teacher to do a part in the school play but Maddy said it was stupid as Miss Lucas always gave her bad choregraphy. Maddy decided just to perform the dance for Miss Lucas's sake and when Maddy met Caitlyn a new problem formed.

Truth Cookies- Lulu's evil step-mother to be, Varaminta Le Bone, is an ex-model who tries to marry Lulu's dad. Her biological mother died a few years ago. Varaminta has a son called Torquil and they move to the Baker's  (Lulu and her dads) house where they blackmailed and fired Aileen, the family's maid/cook so that Grodmila, Varaminta's evil friend, could be hired.

The book I liked the most is, The Peacock Detectives. I'm not saying that Born to Dance or Truth Cookies were horrible... I am just implying that The Peacock Detectives touched on subjects that are quite realistic and likely to happen at home. The Peacock Detectives is in first person (I, me, myself) so, you get to connect to how Cassie is feeling and her emotions. As the reader, you understand that it's normal to feel that way if you're going through what Cassie did.

Book Talk- September 2019

Hi! This is the third book talk l have done so far. I hope you are still enjoying this series!

I have reviewed these books in September, Girl Underground by Morris Gleitzman and Good Geeks go BAD by Catherine Wilkens.

A quick recap on them,
Girl Underground- Bridget went to a topnotch school and met Menzies. From there they went and tried to save BiBi and Jamal (from Boy Overboard).
Good Geeks go BAD- Ella decides being good doesn't get her anywhere so, why not try being bad for a change? Ella joins BUTTS, a group (kind of) and the influence at home isn't helping either...

The book I liked the most this month was...
Girl Underground because there was excitement and was more entertaining in general. I also liked how Morris Gleitzman linked up the two books Girl Underground and Boy Overboard.

If you want to learn more on them, these are the dates I posted them and links to the post.
Girl Underground-HERE 14th of September and When Good Geeks go BAD- HERE 26th of September.
