Firefly Hollow (Firefly Hollow, #1) by T.L. Haddix

Firefly Hollow by T.L. Haddix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The book is easy to read and captivating. It's a little different than most romance books that I come across lately, but it very pleasant.
I do not believe that I would read the next book in the series thought. The book is nice but there is something missing there that I cannot put my finger on. May be the drama is a little too much, or may be the love is too unrealistic, I cannot say firmly.
That said, I'd have to confess that I read it in two days ;)

Ratchet the Reluctant Witch

Ratchet the Reluctant Witch by Sara Pascoe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The reason I am giving this book 5 starts is that it is so close to me. I am officially 28 years old now, and I am just begging to understand that I am an adult. I want to be a teenager again, so I could unsay to my parents a lot of the thing I said. On every page of this book I saw myself and I heard the things I said to them and I called them and said that I was sorry, but somehow it feels like too little too late.
This story is amazing. It is as realistic as it is not! It has magic and it has drama and at the same time, it has funny moments, and talking cats and dogs. It is funny and entertaining and it is serious and complex.
I truly believe that this is one of those books that People should read at least two times in their life: as teens and as adults. Moreover this book is definitely going to be on my future child reading list. It can make you laugh and roll in tears and it can make you smile in appreciation.
I believe that this book should be read from mothers too, so that they can remember what to be a confused teenager is.
My deepest respect and gratefulness to Sara Pascoe for Ratchet and her world.

Willakaville: Amazing Adventures of Astronomical Awesomeness by Bald Guy

Willakaville: Amazing Adventures of Astronomical Awesomeness by Bald Guy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is just what I was looking for. It’s perfect for my students ( I am a kindergartner teacher). They love it. They love the characters and I love the morals. It’s perfect. The stories are interesting and help develop the children’s imagination. One day we even tried drawing a picture about Tomatozila. I can recommend this book to anybody who has children. They will love it.

4:50 from Paddington (Miss Marple, #8) by Agatha Christie

4:50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is pretty good. I love Miss Marple, but I have to confess that there isn't a lot of her in this book.
The book is more about the story and the crime itself, not like in the movies I have seen about here. Nevertheless, the book is quite good.
One thing I absolutely adore about Adatha Christie's books is the level of the English language. It may sound funny to you, but it is pleasant to read and be able to imagine all the coulours of the wind because of the rich vocabulary she's been using.

Amazing author, and a good book.
