Hey guys! Today I’m going to update you on my reading log. In my reading log I will log all the books that I read over the course of 2022. I will update you guys on this biweekly. (Again, re-posting)

The Ever Never Handbook

Soman Chainani

This handbook is AMAZING! It just gives you everything you would ever need to know at The School for Good and Evil, from meal plans to uniforms to previous alumni. It just gives you a sense of what Chainani thought of when he imagined The School for Good and Evil. It’s also in full colour, which you know your girl loves. It has soooo much detail that it surprises you. Chainani really thought this book out thouroughly and you can definitely tell. Also I love that Hester has a little input on what she thinks of the handbook. I really liked this book. I would rate it an 8/10.

The School for Good and Evil: The One True King

Soman Chainani

This book literally swept me off my feet. It had such a dramatic ending, and I was so taken aback by it. Once again, Chainani pulled it off and made another outstanding book. I also love that Chainani seperated this series into the “School Years” and the “Camelot Years”. Becaause if he hadn’t I don’t think I would have gotten that same satisfaction. I also love that this book has more action than the other books . Now, there’s just one thing that I didn’t like. The cover art was different. I know that that’s kind of dumb, but when you’re a bookie like me you get mad at the small things. Overall, this book was really good, and I would rate it an 8/10.

The Land of Stories: The Ultimate Book Huggers Guide

Chris Colfer

This book is a combination of an encyclopedia, a journal, and a travel-guide, and for a BIG fan of Chris Colfer, it has a lot of fan-girl stuff in there, like personal interviews with Chris Colfer, and his favorite writing tips, andthings like that.This book includes full-on backstories on all the characters in The Land of Stories. They also give you an overview of Conner’s short stories and the actual Land of Stories. I love that they also included the original drawings of all the jacket art, on every single Land of Stories book. I suggest you don’t read this book until you’ve finished the Land of Stories series, because it has spoilers. I woul rate this book a 9/10.

A Tale Of Witchcraft

Chris Colfer

A Tale of Witchcraft is THE perfect story to read if you’re looking for a semi-emotional, action-packed, well-crafted story. I really love how in the first book of this series, A Tale of Magic, they bring up the issue of witchcraft, but didn’t really exaggerate it as much as they did with, say, magic. I also love how this book is female-strong. Like, there’s Mistress Mara, The Snow Queen, Brystal Evergreen, all the main characters are women. Also, don’t read this book before you read A Tale of Magic, because it WILL ruin it for you. I rate this an 8/10.

The Night Diary

Veera Hiranandani

This book is really heartfelt, and emotional. It’s about a girl living in Pakistan in 1947. I don’t know if you guys have heard about this in history, but in 1947 is whenn India and Pakistan became 2 countries. The main character Nisha, is forced to travel across Pakistan to get to India, because it’s too dangerous for Hindus and Sikhs to live in Pakistan anymore. It’s hard on her whole family, especially her twin brother. It’s a good story to read if you’re into historical-fiction and things like that. Also as a a fan of stories written in diary-form, I feel like Hiranandani does a great job of incorporating that. Overall, I would like to rate this book a 7/10.

World’s Worst Parents

David Walliams

The World’s Worst Parents isn’t really my style, because I don’t really like the super funny books. Like, I’ve never been into Captain Underpants and stuff like that. But, this book was really good. It was super funny, and Walliams makes the names of the parents so that it matches their personality, e.g., the mom who brags a lot is named Belinda Brag. Also Walliams always adds little notes at the beginning. One was from the Queen, and another was from this newsagent that was always in his books. This time it was from his mom. Anyways, Id rate this book an 8/10.

Father Christmas and Me

Matt Haig

Father Christams and Me is the last book in the trilogy that Matt Haig wrote which includes, A Boy Called Christmas, and The Girl Who Saved Christmas. Haig manages to encorporate just the right amount of humour, action, suspense, and fear. I’d also like to comment on Chris Mould’s illustrations. Like they’re so detailed and yet abstract at the same time, and he adds the illustrations to the perfect parts in the book. However, I do find that it’s a little bit slow in the beginning. Before the “Battle of Christmas” happens, there’s a lot of detail, and not a lot happening. But, I do like this book a lot. Overall I think that I would rate this book an 8/10.

The Girl Who Saved Christmas

Matt Haig

So, I mentioned this book earlier and like I said, it was REALLY good. It captures the essence of children’s thinking perfectly. And I should know. I’m 10 years old. I also like this book because it’s a pretty light read. There’s only 207 pages, not a ton of action, and not a ton of emotion. This is a good book to read when you’re bored and you feel like you’ve read every book in your house, and then you see the bright red cover of The Girl Who Saved Christmas. I also like the plot line of this book as well. Honestly, there’s not a lot to say about this book. It could bring up the Christmas spirit in the middle of summer. I would rate this book a 7/10.
