Half Upon a Time Series by James Riley


Image result for half upon a timeImage result for half upon a timeHelloooooo everyone! So, lately I have been into this series by James Riley, Called Half Upon a Time. It is a bit of a spin on fairy tales, and I think that it is really, really good! I just finished reading the 3rd one the other day, and I was completely amazed at how many twists were in it!

Image result for half upon a timeIf you like fantasy or fairy tales, you will love these books! Oh yeah. In case you were wondering, the 1st book is called Half Upon a Time, the 2nd is called Twice Upon a time, and the 3rd is called Once Upon the End. If I had to choose one as my favorite, I would most DEFINITELY be the 3rd!!!! I loved it so much! When I was reading it, I completely forgot where I was, and when I lifted my eyes from the page, I was really confused. I was thinking something like Why am I in the library-- I felt like I was in the Wicked Queen's castle!

You should-- I mean you HAVE TO!--read these books!

You're Invited by Jen Malone and Gail Nall

Image result for you're invited maloneHello everyone! Lately I have been into these books by Jen Malone and Gail Nall called Your Invited

The books are about these four girls, Sadie, Lauren, Becca, and Vi. Over their summer vacation they start a party planning business called RSVP. The reason that they started RSVP was to get Sadie's mom (who plans weddings for a living) to see how awesome Sadie's party planning skills are, and to hopefully get Sadie to be able to help out with her mom's business. The reason that Sadie wasn't helping her mom with her business anymore, was because Sadie accidentally messed up big time at a Little Mermaid themed wedding that her mom had planned.

So, I already told you how RSVP started and all, but I didn't tell you much about the characters (Other than Sadie). Lauren is pretty much "The smart one" because she gets amazing grades and studies a lot. I guess you could say Becca is sort of of the "Fashionista" and is a bit boy-crazy. Vi, is the total OPPOSITE of Becca, she is super sporty, and at the beginning she doesn't care much about how she looks.

The second book in the series is called Your Invited Too, and in the book, they are planning a wedding for a lady named Alexandra Worthington, and she has crazy-high expectations of the four 7th graders. She makes them work super hard, and asks them to do all sorts of crazy things for her wedding.

I loved the books so much, that lately, I have been re-reading my favorite parts in them before I go to sleep. 

Read these books!!!!
