Review: Goosebumps: Horrors of the Witch House

Goosebumps: Horrors of the Witch House by Denton J. Tipton
My rating: Unrated.

I'm choosing to believe this is a prequel to Terror in Little Creek and everyone just changed their names/transed their gender before the game started. And that someone mitosis'd into the Choi twins

Review: Yesteryear

Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Natilie is one of the worst characters I've ever had the displeasure of being in the POV of. It was awesome.

I'd recommend pairing this book with either the book Ripe by Sarah Rose Etter, if you liked the first half of the book more, or the movie Don't Worry Darling if the last hundred pages were your favorite part.
