The Leopard King


Title: The Leopard King
Author: Ann Aguirre
Rating: middle shelf

I am the biggest Ann Aguirre fan ever! I think she is marvelous, so writing this review makes me very sad. I was very disappointed with this book. It is very different from her other books. It is most defiantly a rated R kind of book. I had to skip 1/3 of it because of all of the nasty stuff in it. The book seemed to focus on that.  Also it's language was WAY to colorful for my taste.
 If you could get past that and just read the adventures and journeys of the characters I thought it was great! Because of these conflicting feelings I gave it a middle shelf rating. I'm hoping the next book is cleaner, because I was so excited for this series!!!!

This is book 1-6 in the series. I think I will continue the series when the new book comes out solely to know what happens with the characters next. 

The book focuses on the characters Dom and Pru as they are trying to save their wolf pride while navigating through trials of grief and romance. 

What did you guys think of this book? If you have read it please leave some comments. 

If you want a copy order it online from Amazon or Ann Aguirre's website.

Fantastic Beasts: The Movie

Even though I was not a giant fan of the book Fantastic Beasts I had to go see the movie as a Potterhead and member of Gryffindor. It was so worth it. I would give it five stars. The movie was made very well and the cast was spot on. Eddie Redmayne was AMAZING as Newt!!!  I can't wait to see what happens with the next for movies in the series! I'm hoping to see many more adorable beasts! I think there's real potential and the storyline!

The only other thing I wanted to mention was the term "NonMag." Why can't everyone just be called a Muggle?! Even though I live in the USA and the official term is "NonMag" I have no intention of switching from the term "Muggle." I'm just being internationally minded!!

Have you gone to see Eddie Redmayne in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? If not, go and see it now or you will regret it!!!
Once you have seen it let me know what you thought in the comments!!
Happy viewing!!!∞ ϟ 9¾ ♔ ⚯͛ △⃒⃘ ➵

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

Title: Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
Author: Newt Scamander
Rating: Bottom Shelf

Before I give you the reasoning for my rating I would like to tell you a story about myself. Every time I go to read a book series with more than 3 books I fail. I have a built in three book limit so I unfortunately have not finished the Harry Potter Series, however I do enjoy them. 

You may be asking why I read this book without completing the series...
My book club picked to read this book before viewing the movie as a group, however it was not necessary. You do not need to read this encyclopedia to go see the movie. The 5 Fantastic Beasts movies are about Newts adventures to learn about the creatures and write the book, rather than being about the book it's self. 
I personally would not recommend this book for your personal library unless you are a Harry Potter die hard collector.
