Practical magic in love review

Every year around fall, I cuddle up and watch practical magic with lit candles. This year, I decided to read the novel for once and before the autumn season officially begins.

Let me honest first, I think this might be the only novel that I prefer the movie version slightly more over the novel (just by Hair). Only for a few things that were different between the two storylines in my opinion that are up for a little debate of which one is slightly better.

I love the storyline of practical magic all the together , the bond of family ups and their downs, through tragedies that bind them together from the past to the present. And I love the aspect of falling in love deep that came about differently for each character.

The idea of practical magic in the wispier of the wind and the candle burning during the night hours , feels like magic through the pages and before I knew it the novel ended.

The owens women reminds me about the women in my life as sisters and as friends their strengths, their kindness, their craziness but like the owens protecting each other from situations and yet fighting when one person is wrong. Even through pain and loss and the chaos of life, finding the love of their lives makes a magical ride of a chaotic rollercoaster storyline.

I love the play of magic throughout the novel, hearing spells, seeing ghosts and their past history of ties that tie to their current lives individually for each sister in the love aspect. Going back Maria owens that had her heartbroken before the aunts, Sally and Gillian ever did. And how the aunts payed for their new roof from their side business , helping out the public.

My favorite quote is that very end of the novel said by sally owens, '' Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary by your garden gate.. plant roses and lavender for luck .Fall in love whenever you can."

I couldn't agree more fall back in love with magic , fate , life and moments despite all tragedy being thrown at the sisters, through blood family fights together and becomes stronger each time. Losing a love that was a deep connection to a tragedy and still finding a soulmate that makes magic appear through electricity of air that I can't be described. Makes the person wake to their core and do anything to protect their soulmate, unconditionally.

The question is Love practical or magical?

That's what I got from the novel, what are your thoughts?

An Eye for an eye mystery Book Review

The concept of an eye for an eye in a fiction novel at it's finest.

Another continuation of Lisbeth Salander's story and she is Fighting harder she ever has before not just for herself but for others. Even a prison can't control Salander from anyone including from herself getting in more trouble. Moving pieces throughout the novel at once it started to move along to the main plot of the connection of the web of family connections as a game of chase beyond Lisbeth.

Eye for an eye - Must read

And nevertheless Mikael is right there to catch it all , helping solving mysteries and other connections to her and the registry that started the mess with other children as well. New characters to add to the drama , like another set of twins Leo and Dan. And the complete unexpected death that started the unravel of fights, searches for answers into the registry to find the answers to those who ruined their lives and protecting another women whom was put in the same prison as Salander for the wrong reason. In this novel Salander is more of a fighter and a protector then ever to take an eye for an eye; taking the punches and yet at the same time always having the upper hand in the situation. The eye of the person who destroyed her childhood to her current life as an adult. And the Hacker society is there help as usual , having her back in her time of need for extra back up.

At the beginning and the end , the question of , "Why is the dragon tattoo is important to her?, to her in her past and to her present. It seem to be the thesis of the novel and I wanted the answer to that question since book one of Lisbeth series began. That representation of that dragon turn out to be the statute of a dragon being threatened with the sword by Saint George. That statue opened up her eyes at a young age of her life during the pouring rain and the end of this novel's questions. I like to think we all have fire in us, either we know it or not, either we use it or not, we have it and that statue make is a great representation of that.

 

First love shouldn't end

I started this series nine days ago , I couldn't stop reading,I even I was less on my phone than ever, (actually I forget I had one)! Three books later and I need more , I am emotionally invested in knowing what's next for Peter Kavinsky and Lara Jean. Jenny Han took me back in remembering my own high school experience and remembering all the boys I had a crush on.

To All the Boy's I've Loved Before

The beginning of a love story with letters that should of never been sent out in the first place leads to unexpected relationship and unexpected feelings.

The talk of school with high school drama; we can all relate to being the eye of everyone. Plus an unexpected kiss from another. Lara jean and Peter find out they fit together more than they ever thought besides faking their own relationship. Little love notes to their honest deal, they fit like a puzzle with out realizing it even if Kitty had a hand in it all , made Lara experience life than seat at home with nothing to do.

P.S I Still Love You

A letter of forgiveness being in start of real relationship between the two. Jealousy come with a bumpy ride. And tag of new characters and an old childhood game that gives you all feels of being a kid. Falling in love with each character like John McClaren is hard not to do like Lara Jean did. Pulled heartstrings, learning things about each character from childhood memories. Can't forget to mention Mrs. Stormy, a lovely lady that I wish was my own fairy godmother!

Always and forever Lara Jean

Pulls more heart strings than the first two novels and more tear-jerking moments throughout the novel. Sometimes things are planned but plans change unexpectedly.

Things have a way of working out in the world of chaos called senior year. Lara jean coming out her shell and being free was enjoying to read. Little tests of love through and through, only making them stronger. Finding that perfect chocolate cookie recipe, thanks Lara. Underneath the night sky; growing a deeper connection before being apart for college, I like to think there is more coming for lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky.

After reading this series in Nine days, like I said before I need more, I am curious about the pair than any other characters. Reflecting a first love is beautiful going through first's together with someone is beautiful even through a first fight. Learning about someone from their deepest thoughts to their favorite dessert. From reading, I found myself laughing along and yet Missing the days where the biggest problem in life was what to wear. This series is definitely a must read and feeling fuzzy feelings of remembering that first crush. I also I think A first love or crush , you will never forget their name or the first time you saw them. Right? I remember my first crush pretty well.



Must read first love story
