I can't articulate my words yet in this book, it was beautiful, I'll try to come to a better description, until that, just go for this!

It started out very slow, I was not ready or prepared for it and I even considered not finishing. I am very glad I did finish, because I really liked the ending. A very cute book

I still really really like this trilogy, and this book is a good one to end it, I love love the characters, and all the dreamy and magical twists, and the wonderful love in it. Sometimes I just want to get swept away by Caraval and Legend himself.

I am very obsessed with the world of Caraval, all the magic, the fun, the love and the surprises and twists.
It focuses mainly on Tella, Jacks and Dante and their relationship, but also we have many secrets to uncover and a game to win.
This book had some of my favourite characters in focus, but I'd say this is least strong book in the trilogy. So if you would consider giving up here, don't, you'll need to read the last one too

This was a very cute read. I loved how we could follow all the way through from an acorn until the tree has lived it's life. I think this book can show kids and even adults, how complex and interesting is nature, and I would gladly recommend this book.

It was a very lovely little book, especially with the characters, who were adorable. I loved the beautiful illustrations too, and I found the story really inspiring, and also hopeful, so it is a great pick me up read if you'd ever need one.
Unlocking the ADHD Advantage: Why Your Brain Being Wired Differently Is Your Superpower by Anders Hansen
informative
This was a very interesting and very informative book to read. I always think it is fascinating to read about different kind of mental conditions, and how our brains work, especially how other brains work, that have their own special way. So this was a very nice book about ADHD and how it was also hopeful.

I haven't heard of this artist before, and finding this book was truly an amazing experience. The silly jokes reminded me of my boyfriend, and with some the characters certain behaviour or comics I could relate WAAAAAAY too much, so it was a fun time and well spent. I even had to stop myself from reading it in one sitting, because I would have loved to spend even more time with it.
I would definitely recommend it!
