Editor’s Note: The answers to the questions below were written by 11-year-old Liyla without any help from an adult.

What is the book this month?

The book The Ravens by Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige took me on an adventure like no other. This Book Club is outstanding. It sends you a box with a book and 4 gifts. The gifts go along with the book. The Ravens is a story about sorority girls who are actually witches. Not the green and old warty kind. The girls are divided into 4 groups: water, earth, air, and fire.

Vivian and Scarlett are the main characters and are trying to find out why terrible things are happening and who is making everything go wrong at their beloved Kappa Rho sorority house. At first Scarlett dislikes Vivian, but a very strong connection grows between them. Vivian is the strongest earth sign and someone is after her because of it. Scarlet has to let go of someone she loves in order to keep them safe and stop whatever dark magic is coming or else it will kill them all.

It surprised me the most to find out who was causing the terrible things to happen and why they were doing it. I personally really liked the book. It is a thrilling adventure, funny, sad and loving, all in one. I did not have anything I disliked about this book. I would definitely recommend it.

What is Once Upon a Time Book Club?

It is a monthly book club that comes in the mail with a newly released book with 3 – 5 small gifts with page numbers on them. When you get to a certain page in the book, you open the present and it seems as though you are in the book itself.

Why be part of a book club?

So people like me, who love to read all the time and want to go on adventures, but don’t want to leave their comfort zone, can experience new people and places. I am 11 and can’t exactly drive yet, so I am limited.

What is next month’s book?

The Love Curse of Melody McIntyre by Robin Talley. I cannot wait to read this book.

One of Liyla’s favorite Christmas presents this year was the subscription her mother gave her to the Once Upon a Book Club at OnceUponABookClub.com. The website offers 1 – 12 month subscriptions for either Young Adults (age 14+) or Adults (age 18+). Each monthly box includes a newly-released book as well as 3 – 5 related gifts, a 5” x 7” print of a quote from the book, discussion questions, and online group discussions on Facebook and Instagram.

The August Bella Book Club Review | The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid After all these years posh Hollywood star Evelyn Hugo is ready to tell her life story. She retreated from the spotlight in the 1980s, after years of fame, but remained a legacy. With amazing grace and beauty, she was an enigma that left the public wanting to know more about her life and, of course, the seven men she married along the way. Now, at the age of 79, she is willing to grant an interview with a large magazine on one condition — the article must be written by Monique Grant. When she chooses Monique Grant, an aspiring journalist,

The Edge of Creativity | Creative of the Month | July

“Every child is an artist; the problem is staying an artist when you grow up.” ~ Pablo Picasso The theme of this month’s issue of Bella is youth, so this month I wanted to focus on young creatives as well as those creatives who are focusing on, working with, or inspiring the youth. As I prepared for this month’s story I came to an uncomfortable realization that there are not a lot of young creatives in my world. Sure there are a lot of young people in my life who are creative, but none that I know of that are considered “creatives” and certainly not a whole lot making a

An Extraordinary Event

As a nurse who loves history, I’ve always gravitated to the question: what were the women doing during periods of historical interest, particularly in times of crisis? One group that has garnered my attention is the experience of female military nurses who served in Vietnam. There weren’t many of them, only 4,000 to 15,000, depending on who did the counting. Records of women in the military at that time were often fragmented since female volunteers were rare in a typically male endeavor. I wondered what drew the young nurses to volunteer in the Vietnam War. I found that some came from military families and thought it was a chance to

July Book Club Selection: The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James

Aiken Bella Magazine Book Club July Book Club Selection: The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James Summer is one of my favorite times to grab a fast-paced read. Our July Book Club choice is The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James. For those who are not familiar with St. James, she is master of the period ghost story. In The Sun Down Motel she hits the mark again with a chilling ghost-based mystery that straddles two time periods. In 1982 Vivian Delaney runs away from home with ambitions to move to New York City. However, she ends up in Fell, New York, alone, with her money running out
