This sits in the middle of a pick and so-so for me. The only thing that didn‘t make it 100% pick for me was it didn‘t feel complete. I enjoyed the writing and the character development but just wanted more at the end. 3/5

Just finished the book The Ravens. It was the selection for the first roll for #roll100 of this month. hosted by @PuddleJumper . It was just okay for me and was a slow read , not sure due to the book or my mood this past week. (Insert tired working mom emoji here) . The tagged book is the selection for roll 2 this month. Another one that has been on my shelf for a long time :)

PuddleJumper Well done! 1y

Hope you can see the lacy bits starting to take shape. Those spiky things are actually very fine pins.
