A Witch’s Guide to Standing Up to Your Toxic Family: CBR 15 Bingo – Adulthood

A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon by Sarah Hawley

July 13, 2023 by RevGirlUtena Leave a Comment

Mariel Spark has always been seen as a bit of a disapointment to her magical family. Born under a prophecy that she would become a powerful Witch, she never has seemed to master her magic. She only excels at plant and nature magic, but those skills are seen as not as important to the rest of the magical community. One night, while testing her skills, she accidentally summons a demon instead of a bag of flour. Ozoroth the Ruthless is a Bargaining Demon, which means […]

Walter Shows off tricks, and causes trouble

Walter Does His Best, and so do the rest of us

Walter Does His Best by Eva Pilgrim

September 21, 2021 by NTE Leave a Comment

In Walter Does His Best by Eva Pilgrim, Walter is a good dog, or at least he tries really hard to be. Kids will enjoy his misadventures – digging in the neighbor’s garden, giving up his seat on the subway, helping ducks to cross the street – even though his owner certainly does not. As each of Walter’s attempts to help go ever more and more awry, the illustrations and text get more outrageous, and more hilarious – the page where Walter tries to impress […]

I have no idea how to write a review of a book when the number of words required in the review are longer than the number of words in the book itself…

The Not-so Stereotypical Cheerleading Drama

November 6, 2016 by Andrea Krieter Leave a Comment

   Rating: 4/5 Summary: Hermione is in her final year of high school and starts it off by attending her final cheer camp session. However, it ends with her being drugged, left in a lake and raped. Hermione doesn’t know how to feel afterward, though she knows she feels different. Matters are only complicated when she discovers she’s pregnant. I really enjoyed this book. It was a nice break from all the fantasy and magic I’ve been reading. I just needed something grounded in reality […]
