The Introvert's Book Club

We've moved! Please read along here Get out the cream and sugar because this book has some TEA. Brit dishes about many of her past relationships and touches on some of her more famous moments in the media. She delves deeply into her relationships with J.T. and Kevin Federline. This is definitely an interesting autobiography. She gets deep into her issues with the Spears family and the years during her conservatorship. She lets you into her thoughts while she discusses the not so subtle tyranny inflicted on her by her family. There are definitely some dark and sad moments to this book, while it does seem as though Britney is sincerely attempting to heal from those dark years. She does come off as almost hateful towards her family but can you blame her? Imagine working grueling hours imposed on you by your parents, who are taking all of your money and doling it out to your siblings, paying off their own debts, restricting your access to food, your own vehicle and cell phone, or any p

  We've moved! Please read along here We're back in Graves Glen for the sequel to The Ex Hex and this time around we hear all about Vivi's cousin Gwyn, who was quite a prevalent character in the first book. Something I really liked about the way that this book was written is that Vivi and Rhys are still pretty prevalent characters entwined into Gwyn's story. Rhys's brother Wells shows up to take over the family vampire den otherwise known as the Penhallow house in Graves Glen. Obliging his father, Wells is on a mission to "re-stamp" their family name on Graves Glen since the Jones family is now powering the town's magic. Of course, he's decided that the way to do that is to open a magic shop across the street from Gwyn's magic shop. This makes for a nice little rivalry story between the Jones and Penhallow family with Vivi and Rhys attempting to mediate. Vivi and Rhys depart on a honeymoon of sorts to Wales, leaving Gwyn and Wells to hold down

We've moved! Please read along here This book has been on my book shelf for like 2 months and I'm so excited to have finally cracked it open! This book lands us in a charming mountain town in Georgia that is giving off Halloweentown/Gilmore Girls/Good Witch/Hogwarts vibes. In Graves Glen we have witches, a college, ghosts, a talking cat who's very much interested in treats, magic, and of course, an ex boyfriend from 9 years ago who turns up unexpectedly! Vivi is a witch but spends most of her time pretending that she's not one. She's a college professor who's very close with her aunt and cousin who are her only close family members. Cousin Gwyn plays a pretty big part in this story, auntie is more of a side character. Rhys, the ex, has returned from Wales to charge the ley lines in a cave in the mountains for the magic town but he starts to have a strange string of bad luck and of course, that brings us to our main plot. There's a mystery to solve, intense f

  We've moved! Please read along here Let me begin by saying that I won this book as an advanced reader copy in a Goodreads giveaway. This book is not something that I would normally gravitate towards but I found the description very intriguing.  Ok, now that we've got that out of the way, this book is the best one I've read in months. Dumas's writing comes off as prose at times. It's poetic and beautiful, which is definitely not lost on me. The book is so intelligently written with such an incredible story. It's got some elements of  Jurassic Park, Night at the Museum, The Black Phone all carefully rolled into a very original, beautiful and surprising story. One of the things that I really enjoyed in this book were drawings of the dinosaurs and the way that they helped bring the museum displays to life. I don't know much about them (dinosaurs) and I found myself googling a lot of prehistoric names in the barely 24 hours (after working 12 hours) this book to

We've moved! Please read along here At last, we return to Charming Cove. Once again, I absolutely loved this book. Just as great as the first! The little town and it's characters are, in fact, charming. I love the familiar element and I was so happy to see it again in book 2! Penelope and Boris are two I'd love to meet. The vampire element is interesting but don't expect Sookie Stackhouse vibes as our heroine Emma is an orphan witch desperately trying to gain the title Head Witch in her coven to get herself a family. This book has a great love story and I like the fact that Aria was included quite a bit in this story and even became a bit of a friend to Emma. Every year, the coven throws a ball and it's up to Emma to throw the perfect one to guarantee her permanent spot in the coven and it's a great read to see whether or not she can pull the ball off with her fake vampire Duke boyfriend secret. Don't miss this book series! Both are page turners. Linsey Hall

  We've moved! Please read along here Ok, so I know that this book took me FOREVER to read. I want you to know, it's not any issue with the book. I've just had a ton of stuff going on! Went on vacation and I've been reorganizing the whole house, making room for new furniture. Not to mention, fall stuff like apple orchards and pumpkin patches! Anyways, I really enjoyed this book! There's always something new in Lana's Thistle Grove series and this book is no exception. This book is Emmy's cousin Delilah's story and let me tell you, she's hard for me to like. She's definitely interesting though. In the last book, Delilah lost her memory due to the oblivion glamour that Nina cast with her goddess power. While much of her memory has been restored her mind is still fractured and boy is she pissed at Nina. Delilah gets a familiar, Montalban and I don't know why but I freaking love books with familiars. This was a wonderful addition to Thistle Grove
