79. The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller

I listened to the audiobook for this one and it was my first audiobook and let me tell you, it was the best decision I could have made.

I still need to get my hands on a copy of this book but I assure you I will add it to the top shelf of my books (the all-time favourite shelf) right beside Circe.

At this point, I will read anything that Madeline Miller writes because she is incredible. I don't care that these are "re-tellings" they are everything I ever wanted or needed in life and here we are.

This is better than Troy or anything along those lines and I will forever cherish this book. I'm all for Greek mythology... well I'm all for ANY type of mythology or old gods and stories along the same lines.

So you just know that this book killed me.

78. The Wizard Heir (And The Warrior Heir) - Cinda Williams Chima

I apparently never wrote a review for The Warrior Heir, but I need to write one for The Wizard Heir. I also don't remember much of The Warrior Heir so I'm just going to tell you I loved it before we talk about The Wizard Heir.

The Warrior Heir was an amazing book with all the right amount of action and romance and a teenager losing his mind because his world has been turned upside-down from magic. This is everything you need in an urban fantasy and I love the history behind the guilds and in general, just all of the history this book has for it to work perfectly.

The Wizard Heir brings in new characters and does an amazing job at it! This one starts in a weird place with a group full of evil wizards but its the perfect place for this story to build and become amazing. Honestly, I loved the new characters in here more than I loved the characters from the first one.

The way that Cinda Williams Chima writes is a bit different but it works oh so well and both of these books took me a hot minute to get into but I was so glad when I finally did!

77. There's Someone Inside Your House - Stephanie Perkins

The first chapter will pull you in and you can't stop.

The course this book takes is a wild one that I can't describe. Not to mention one of the main characters shares my name which is not something I'm used to.

One of my friends borrowed this to read before I got to it and she's not someone to read something for romance. Rarely does she even like reading any type of romance. However, she admitted she really liked the romance in this book so that has to count for something!

I wrote in my little review thing that this book made me scared, laugh, and cry at various times. Then I quote "even on the same page sometimes."

So obviously this one brought out quite a few emotions in me!

76. Hocus Pocus and Witch Please - A.W. Jantha

A spooky read for me when I read it in August.

This was the perfect way to get me in the perfect mood for Halloween. Yes, I read it in August, but that's perfect timing to start the spooky season. Don't judge.

I ended up reading Hocus Pocus, then watching the movie, then reading Witch Please. Yes, there are two stories in this book. And the Hocus Pocus one is done fantastically. It's pretty much word for word what the movie was but it was a fun experience to read!

Honestly, this made me love the movie even more than I did before.

Witch Please was a little different, which is to be expected. You can't just come along and make the atmosphere the exact same if you didn't write the first one, to begin with.

But the effort and thought that was put into it was beautiful!
