"The Tales of Beedle The Bard"

author: J.K. Rowling
literary genre: fantasy
how much I recommend this book: 10/10
The Tales of Beedle The Bard is a book of five children's stories. They are a bit different than tales that we all know - they were write for wizard's children, so they're talking about wizards problems. 
Titles of stories:
* The Wizard and the Hopping Pot
* The Fountain of Fair Fortune
* The Warlock's Hairy Heart
* Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump
and probably the most famous:
* The Tale of the Three Brothers
I think it's really interesting book, especially for fans of Harry Potter.
Hope you'll like it :)

"Angelfall"

author: Susan Ee 
literary genre: fantasy, young adult fiction, paranormal romance, thriller
how much I recommend this book: 10/10






Penryn Young is a normal, boring girl and has a normal, orderly, boring life. Her family is a typical american family and everything what they do is normal and usual.

Seriously, you believed in it?

Let's start again.

Penryn Young is 17-years-old girl who probably can fight better than all adult men that you know.
Her younger sister, Paige, must use a wheelchair, and no one knows why she can't walk.
No one expect of Paige, of course.
And girls' mather, who has mental disorders and is sure that she talks with the devil.
Her husband left , because he couldn't handle her craziness.
Typical, right?

Penryn's life is hard, but it's just the beginning.

Everything goes wrong:
-end of the world
-mass murdering of people
-and angels that come on Earth to destroy everything.

What could be worse?

Angels will kidnap Paige, and only way to save her is through an alliance with a wounded angel. 

First book of "Penryn and the End Of Days" trylogy.

Hope you'll like it :)

"Harry Potter and The Cursed Child"

author: Jack Thorne (script); J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne & John Tiffany (story)
literary genre: drama, fantasy, adventure
how much I recommend this book: 7/10





Fans of "Harry Potter" series have diffrent feelings after reading "The Cursed Child". Some of them are really disappointed, some like it. In my opinion - it's a nice book, but only as something extra, not as the eighth part od Harry Potter. But what's happend in this book?
"The Cursed Child" starts with the action from the epilogue of "The Deadly Hallows". Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione are with their children on King's Cross Station, before their journey to Hogwart.
Albus Severus, youngest Harry's son is scared, but full of hope, too. He knows that his life will completly change when he'll go to Hogwart - and it changes. At first he hates it and wants to do EVERYTHING, to corret mistakes of past. Unfortunately, he forgets, that playing with time can be really dangerous...
I think you'll be shocked  while reading this book, but in my opinion, it's worth it. From "The Cursed Child" we can lear how the world of wizards could be if Voldemort had won or how different life would be for The Golden Trio if Ron and Hermione never start dating. What more can I say? It's a good book, pleasant to read, perfect for a cold evening with a cup of tea.
I hope you'll read this book and enjoy it :)
