The Black Cauldron ~ Lloyd Alexander
Pages: 1- 178
Genre: Fantasy
Book #2 of The Chronicles of Prydian



Quick Review: Loved it. The writing is incredible. I have a new favourite character: Adaon, the wise-bard-prince. Having watched the movie many times, I can say without a doubt it does not do justice to Lloyd Alexander's story.

4/5 STARS






Drama ~ Raina Telgemier

Pages: 1- 233
Genre: Graphic Novel, Contemporary




Quick Review: Laugh out loud funny. Though, I'm not entirely sure I laughed at the right moments. It's a middle school drama, so lots of she likes him but he likes her, etc. I had to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all, but also because I'm guilty of the same. Loved the drawing style.

4/5 STARS
