Well now I know why the hold time was so long for this one: this is the oatmeal book.

Hot breakfast aside, this is actually a really good Rachel book.

Solid 3.5. Pretty good but not sure its one I would return to.

I think I have said this before but I think sometimes middle grade is used a little too broadly. This sits perfectly between kid lit and middle grade. Not short enough to be a children's chapter book but not complicated enough to be middle grade. I don't know what best describes that but that's where this book sits for me. 

This book is very cute. A little witch with her flying broom and talking cat, going on little adventures over the course of a year in her quaint sea side town. This has got to be the epitome of cozy fantasy. Low stakes and vibes. That what this book is. And I think readers are either going to love or hate it. For me I think this is great. That perfect "read a chapter out loud before bedtime" kind of book. 

This book is almost nothing like the movie. I think its even less like than the movie then Howl's Moving castle was. If you go into this looking for the movie then you are going to be disappointed.

A solid children's read. Perfect for any little witch or wizard looking for a comfortable read. 

 

I read this and it was very cute!  Like Aggretsuko but Shounen Ai 

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. An LGBT inclusive mecha novel that is so obviously inspired by anime. Listen, the writing is nothing to write home about. Its functional and non-offensive. The characters haven't had enough time to really come out of their shell and stretch their legs. But the plot and themes is what I am here for. This is a great start to what I am HOPING is an amazing series. Not as good as Iron Widow but its definitely going to quench your thirst. 

This was just kind of okay. The art is cute and the story is solid. But its not something I would probably normally pick up.

It reminds me a lot of InuYasha but with talking animals. Also this is very grumpy old man adopts an abandoned child trope. I do really like the wolf characters.  I like their human forms and I love that they are kind of like mobsters. Also Tachibana is so cute 🥰 

Anyway here is every picture of Tachibana:

This is a 5 star smut book and a 3 star regular book.

Characterizations were incredible inconstant and there was so many potential plot points and themes that the author decided to not follow. Charlies and Warren were incredibly under developed. And you know what, there were too many sex scenes.

Mr. Burke is an agent of chaos and I love him.

Won't be going back and reading the other books. 

This was not what I thought it was going to be at all. The novella length is not doing this book any favors. I'm not expecting a grand in depth adventure but I at least expect a compelling story and interesting characters. This had none of those. Everything in this book feels so flat and bland. None of the characters are interesting, forget any of them being likeable. This book is not an ode to the magical girl genre, it barely qualifies as being in the genre at all.

1.5-2-ish stars. I'm really disappointed. The middle-grade Sailor Moon novelizations are better than this
