Emma's Beautiful Books

     Hey guys! It's Emma! Today I have a book review on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets  by J.K. Rowling. This book follows Harry as he starts his second year at Hogwarts with his best friends Hermione and Ron. However, at the start of the year, weird things start happening at Hogwarts. A new horror haunts Hogwarts and turns people to stone. Who could possibly be controlling this monster? Can the school recover from these attacks?      First, I absolutely loved these characters. One thing I liked about the characters in ths book is you can see how the have matured since the last book. In the last book, I found Harry to be a little immature at some points and that annoyed me. However, in this book, I can see how he has grown since the last book and I really liked seeing that. If you didn't read my review on the first book, Hermione was my favorite character of that book and that didn't change in this book. Her personality makes laugh every time...

     Hey guy! It's Emma! Today, I have a book review on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone  by J.K. Rowling for you guys. This is actually the third time I have read this series and I thought I would do a review on each book in the series. This book follows Harry as he learns that he is a wizard and goes to study at Hogwarts. While he is there, he meets his best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, begins his studies in Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Herbology, and discovers the wonderful sport of Quiditch. However, lurking in the shadows of the castle is the Sorcerer's Stone, a stone with the power to give someone eternal life, and none other than Voldemort, the man who killed Harry's parents and attempted to kill Harry, is after it. Will Harry be able to adjust to this new world of spells and magic? More importantly, will he be able to survive Voldemort and make it through his first year at Hogwarts safely?      First of all,...

     Hey guys! It's Emma! Today, I have a book review on P.S. I Like You  by Kasie West for you guys. This book follows Lily as she starts exchanging letters anonymously in her chemistry class. What starts as continuing song lyrics on her desk turns into sharing secrets and opening up to each other. Can Lily piece together who this mystery person is or does she even want to find out?      First, I loved the two main characters in this book. I thought Lily was so sassy and relatable. Her family was absolutely hilarious and their dynamic is very similar to mine.  I think one of my favorite parts of this book was the relationship that Lily had with her friends and family. Lily and Isabelle, her best friend, had that relationship that made you automatically think, "That is totally me and my BFF." The main guy, Cade, was very adorable. At the beginnimg, I didn't like him that much, but that was kind of the point. However, as we got to know him, I l...

     Hey guys! It's Emma! Today, I have my August wrap up and September TBR for you guys. In the month of August, I read two books. I planned to read more, but school decided that wasn't happening. As a result, I'm a little behind on my Goodreads goal for this year. And by a little behind I mean 9 books. Anyways, let's get started.      The first book I read in August was A Study in Charlotte  by Brittany Cavallaro. I gave this book a 4 out of 5 stars. I found this book very interesting. All of the detective work and Sherlock Holmesness of this story kept me on the edge of my seat. I did have one or two problems with this story, but you can read more about those in my review of this book.      The second book I read in August was P.S. I Like You  by Kasie West. I gave this book a 5 out of 5 stars. This story was definitely adorable with it's chaos and song lyrics. The main character, Lily, was so sassy that she made me laugh a few...
