Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter #2) | Book Review

Posted on March 17, 2020April 11, 2020 by Rosaline | Rosaline's Rolls and Scrolls

Much has been said about Harry Potter over the years so I'm not gonna dwell much on it. I guess we all know and feel what we know and feel about this series. What I'm gonna tell you is a story of an 11 year old girl who, having ran out of books to read, picks up the second book of the Harry Potter series (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) - which her dad bought her some years ago while she was too young to enjoy the story - to read on the toilet. Because that's what I did and still do and we all do so shut up! Chamber of Secrets was the first

Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews (Kate Daniels #2) | Book Review

Posted on January 18, 2020February 21, 2020 by Rosaline | Rosaline's Rolls and Scrolls

I am convinced the writer is using some kind of magic, because there's absolutely nothing special about the Kate Daniels series. The writing, for example, is way too descriptive and definitely not my favorite style. Every time I've picked a book in the series I have complained about the writing style. And every time after three chapters or so I have been dragged into the story by a strong force that made me forget everything and I have been unable to put the book down...

The Assassin and the Empire by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass 0.5) | Book Review

Posted on January 15, 2020February 21, 2020 by Rosaline | Rosaline's Rolls and Scrolls

his book is written to torture the heart. Every word and sentence is that much more heartbreaking because you know what's going to happen! You know how this young couple's dream of peace and love is going to end! I hate this book for what it did to my soul. And love it, because...

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #1) | Book Review

Posted on January 14, 2020February 21, 2020 by Rosaline | Rosaline's Rolls and Scrolls

When I first read Throne of Glass four years ago, I thought it was a very good version of a typical YA high fantasy book complete with a cool heroine, cannot-be-romance, a love triangle, some sort of competition, evil women, and a good for nothing villain! But the rest of the series turned out to be sooo much more than my initial judgement and I soon...

Fantasy of Frost by Kelly St. Clare (Tainted Accords #1) | Book Review

Posted on January 11, 2020February 21, 2020 by Rosaline | Rosaline's Rolls and Scrolls

Fantasy of Frost is not super mind-blowing, but it's extremely enjoyable. I found it to be a fun and quick read. I could not put it down at all. The pace of the book is not that fast, but the mystery of the veil keeps you going. And even though this mystery is super...

Seven Books You Need To Read Before You Turn 20 | Bookish Talk

Posted on October 9, 2019October 7, 2019 by Rosaline | Rosaline's Rolls and Scrolls

There are some books that are better appreciated at an older age, and there are some that are ageless and can be enjoyed at any time in one's life. And then there are those books that can only be truly loved at a certain point in one's life. Having passed the age of 20 recently, I have stopped enjoying certain...
