They say some stones are better left unturned. Iโm learning that lesson the hard way. My nameโs Aubry Brooks and hereโs the thingโI have myself a coven problem.
I found my mamaโs book of shadows, and it's clear she didnโt share my magical philosophy of do no harm. She was hiding us from someone, but meeting her former coven only leads to more questions.โณ๏ธ

โณ๏ธOMG... I'm sorry Andrea, but I loved 'Obsession' more than 'Possession'. I was immediately drawn into the book and couldn't put it down. If I hadn't been so busy, I would have finished this book in one sitting. The narrative holds the reader's attention quite well with its quirky and hilarious elements. In the story, everything is thrilling and magical. This book's twists and turns added to its intrigue. I still have the opinion that this should become a TV show..!!โณ๏ธ

โณ๏ธThis book was like an adventure. As Kathka, Nana and Cyrah walked through the desert, it was like I was traveling with them too. I don't usually like books where "walking" is involved. But the mystery behind 'The Seven Lives' and 'The Wise One' may have intrigued me to keep reading. โณ๏ธ
โณ๏ธFound family is one of my favorite tropes and this book is all about that. I also loved the action scenes, the dragons and even the character development of Kathka.

The ending of the story seemed to be a beginning of another story. I have a feeling that there are more adventures to come.โณ๏ธ

โณ๏ธAmerican Stonehenge, written by Mike Goldstein, is a middle-grade fantasy novel, which is the first book in the 'The Adventures of Jimmy & Andrew series'. It's been so long since I read a good adventure novel.โณ๏ธ
โณ๏ธJimmy's parents had promised to get him a dog for his ninth birthday. He was so excited to finally have a dog of his own. But he never thought he would find a pet that could talk to him telepathically. Andrew, his dog, was born more than three thousand years ago. Andrew's immortality and telepathic abilities are still a mystery even to the dog himself.
Jimmy's parents were archaeologists, and when they found information about a hidden Stonehenge in America, the family, along with Jimmy and Andrew, set out to excavate the newly discovered area. When strange things start happening, only Andrew, Jimmy and their new friend Pete can unravel the mystery behind Stonehenge. Read on to discover the mysteries behind Stonehenge with Andrew and Jimmy.โณ๏ธ
โณ๏ธI really enjoyed reading this book. I was really caught up in the mystery and was dying to know more. Aside from the adventures, this book also instills some moral values โโin the kids. This book shows the importance of preserving nature and what happens when we destroy it. The way the author explained about hunting animals was really remarkable.โณ๏ธ
โณ๏ธThe author's writing style is outstanding. It is so simple that we can understand it very easily. We can see the whole story before our eyes as if we were watching a movie. I was even intrigued by the way he told the story, it really was engraving. And the illustrations, they were so beautiful.โณ๏ธ

Malgudi Days by R.K. Narayan
โณ๏ธ"Malgudi Days" consists of 32 short stories, all set in the fictional town of Malgudi. The story revolves around the residents of Malgudi. Although all events take place in the same town, the stories are independent of each other. Each story tells about the life of a family or a person. It ranges from the life of a celebrity to the everyday life of a beggar. Some stories had happy endings, some had sad endings, some were funny, and in some the author gave the readers freedom to come to a conclusion.โณ๏ธ

The language used here is simple and very easy to read. Where there is success, I am sure, there is also failure. So this book is a must read. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy reading books about entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs.โณ๏ธ

โณ๏ธI've always wanted to read Casey McQuiston's Red White & Royal Blue. I was dying to read this bestseller and many thanks to @chikusbookclub for hosting this book reading in June. I'm glad that I got to read this one during The Pride month.โณ๏ธ

โณ๏ธJune was not a good month for me as far as reading goes. I was in a slump and therefore I was mostly into watching series and sitcoms. Thankfully, this book pulled me out of the slump. I never expected to love Henry and Alex this much. If my reading mood had been really good, I would have given this book 5 stars. But unfortunately it wasn't. But I'm sure if I read this book again, I will definitely change my mind.โณ๏ธ

โณ๏ธLike Nora, June, Pez, Bea, Ellen, Luna... there are many characters that were so lovable. Each person had their own voice and they all stood out throughout the story. This is one of the best books in which we fell in love with all the supporting characters (except the villain ๐). I think I'm the only person who loved the political fights in this book. I like books and films that deal with politics. While the film comes out I want to see the red, white and royal blue jacket..! Casey McQuiston has become one of my favorite authors. Now I can't wait to read her other works like One Last Stop.โณ๏ธ

โณ๏ธ'How To Be Ace: A Memoir of Growing Up Asexual' is a graphic memoir written and illustrated by Rebecca Burgess. In this book, the author shares her experiences growing up as an ace.โณ๏ธ
โณ๏ธThis book is very informative and gives a voice to asexual people. The first time I knew there were people who were asexual was from the sex education series. So, basically I was little aware of this representation and was dying to learn more about being an ace. I've had many kinds of doubts, and thanks to this book, I now know them very well. This book is very instructive and introduces asexuality in an easy way. This book not only deals with this representation, but also with obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, etc.โณ๏ธ
โณ๏ธThe graphics illustrated by Rebecca were absolutely amazing and took the reader one step closer to understanding the emotions behind the author. It is very easy to read and I would highly recommend this book to everyone.โณ๏ธ
