National Book Lovers Day 📖

Happy National Book Lovers Day! 📚

I'll be reading one of my most anticipated books of the year later on today after I finish my writing session for my book. Yesterday, I got to 74,600 words written in my WIP. It is a contemporary romance book with some magical realism that I started in May. The book is part of a series of books called The Stacks which are all about a sentient bookshop. This is my favorite writing project I have ever worked on and I cannot wait until I get the draft done. Shouldn't be long now. 

The book I will be reading today is The Witch Queen (The Crimson Crown #2) by Heather Walter. I loved the first book in this duology when I read it about two years ago now and have been waiting eagerly for the conclusion. Today, is going to be the perfect day to finally pick it up.

Review: 

 I've heard a lot about Witch Hat Atelier over the years and it was just a great as everyone has said. The art style is stunning, along with the interesting story. It had me wanting to learn so much more about the world and magic system. I love the idea of how they are able to cast spells.

 

Coco is such a sweet character and I love how enthusiastic she is about learning magic. Her resourcefulness shines in this volume. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her growth in future volumes.

This is a whimsical and cozy feeling story I will be continuing with. I want to know what will happen next and see more of the beautiful illustrations. This was an absolutely wonderful read.

*Thank you to Kodansha Comics, Kamome Shirahama, and NetGalley for my review copy of this book. All opinions are my own.*
