Booked with Abby

 Ten years ago, Mary Morton's father vanished. Four years later, pearls began arriving. There were six in total and she ended up with a mysterious indentation to meet the sender. Miss Morton hires Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in hopes that they will accompany her and solve her father's disappearance. The only clue she has though is a map of a fortress with the name of four strangers. Although the Sherlock Holmes  series is narrated by John Watson, I would love to see these stories told through Sherlock's eyes. I would love to know what's going on inside his head. He's so smart and is able to deduce anything in a way that makes me wish I knew how he did it. I love that the Sherlock Holmes  novels are so short so it's easy to just fly through them. So far, my favorite book in this series has been The Hound of Baskervilles.  I recently got a graphic novel of  The Hound of Baskervilles  so I'm excited to read more Arthur Conan Doyle books. I loved the BBC seri

 Mary is the queen of Scotland, but she's spent almost her entire life living in France. She's also spent her entire life hiding the fact that she is an eðian. Mary can turn into a mouse. In a kingdom ruled by Verities, it's a secret that could cost her her head. Aristotle (call her Ari) Notredumos thought being one of Mary's ladies in waiting would be the perfect way to secure her position in court, but she never thought she would stumble into a plot that could change France's fate. Francis is Mary's betrothed and one of the few people that know her secret. When the king of France dies in a suspicious "accident," Mary and Francais are thrust into a world of conspiracies and treason. I have always been a fan of Mary, Queen of Scots. This whole era of royalty is something I always enjoy learning more about. I was so excited to finally get a novel about Queen Mary from the Lady Janies! These authors never cease to amaze me with their astounding stories.

 Hunter and Mercy Goode are twin witches. They are the direct desendents from the founders of Goodeville. As their ansentors before them, it's time for Hunter and Mercy to become Gatekeepers- protectors of the gates to different underworlds. When their mother becomes the first in a series of murders, it's up to Hunter and Mercy to avenge her death. They'll need more than magic if they hope to defeat the mythical creature terrozing Goodeville though...  THAT ENDING! I NEED THE NEXT BOOK NOW! Spells Trouble  was a great book though there were some parts that where a little boring. It was really slow, but I'm still going to read the sequal when it comes out next spring because I need to know what happens to Hunter. I love the cover. And the name. Both are great and defitnly the best part of the book. I love the names of these two girls. Hunter and Mercy. I just love it. That is the best name for twins. My favorite of this sisters was Hunter. She was somewhat independent. M

 Clay and his friends have never seen the outside world before. They are part of a prophecy that is predicted to save the Sandlands from total war and destruction. When Clay finally does escape the cave, he finds himself in more trouble than he thought he would. He and his friends have been taken captive by the evil Queen Scarlet. Out of the five main dragons featured in this book, Clay was probably my least favorite. He was so positive all the time but not in the cute way Sunny was. Clay was immature and annoying. On the other hand, my favorite dragon in the book was Starflight. He was calm the whole time and I think I just related to his personality the most. He was pretty serious the whole time which was a welcome break compared to all the other dragons who shared the same excitable personality. While on the topic of characters, none of them were very dynamic. Even Clay, who was the many characters, was static. He spends the whole book focused on two things: finding his family and t

Leila was orphaned when she was just a baby. Since then, she was adopted by Mr. Veron. Leila is an escape artist and finally found her place among the Magic Misfits. After defeating Bosso and his gang, a new mystery will arrive for the Magic Misfits to solve. At the same time, Leila is trying to figure out more about her father's past.     One thing I love about these books is Neil Pattrick Harris integrated LGBTQ characters into his story. Mr. Veron is gay which I think is awesome!     My favorites of the misfits, Olly and Izzy. They named their mouses Ozzy and Illy which I think is adorable. Each book in this series is about a different misfit which I love. Book one was about Carter and book 3 is about Theo. For the next book in the series, I'm hoping that Izzy and Olly get separate books. They so often get grouped together which is one thing I don't like about the series. I get that they are twins and all but they are often looked at as the same person. Page Count: 336 P

 Tilly and Oskar are bookwanderers. They can travel into any book they want, but their powers are put to the test when fairytales start leaking book magic and causing chaos. While on a trip to Paris, the pair travel into a book of fairytales only to find that the characters are getting lost in the wrong story and mysterious plot holes are opening. Compared to The Bookwanders, The Lost Fairytales was kind of a letdown. Half of this book didn't seem to have any real plot and Tilly just ran around a book the whole time. Tilly was so infuriating in this book. She couldn't follow any rules! Her grandparents gave her two rules. ONLY TWO. Tilly broke them both on the same page. She was so careless and had no disregard for others. In the first book in this series, Tilly worked so hard to find her long-lost mother Bea. Bea was literally only present for a total of maybe ten pages. Most of the time she was in the background and didn't talk, let alone do anything. There was one moment
