Hooked_on_books Just wanted to let you know I ordered books for you for Christmas over the weekend and they‘re predicting extremely slow shipping (arrival Dec 21), but “updated” to that after I ordered. They‘re coming here, so if they really do take that long, your holiday gift will definitely be late this year, but I‘ll turn them around as quick as I can after they arrive! 16h

Soubhiville @Hooked_on_books no worries! That just stretches the holiday cheer out longer. 🙂. 13h

4.5/5

A wonderful reimaging of Sleeping Beauty begins when a baby is replaced by a changeling and grows up in Faerie with her Fae family instead of her human family. It was a great, quick read, but I did find the first half a little upsetting as it really dove into the idea of what would happen to the baby who was stolen to be replace by the changeling.

I thought the narrator dig a great job brining Toadling's voice to life.

Another re-telling of 'The Goose Girl'. I tend not to pick up re-tellings but I was hit by a BB for this. Oddly, I was expecting an Eastern slant, given the author's name, but it's not there. The writing is decent but, so far, the plot meanders and I don't fully get the protagonist. She actually prefers her substituted life. At the moment, 3.5 stars but I'm still reading.

This is a book that I go back to. It was one I found in high school but such a good story that I just have to keep the-reading when in a book slump.

House of Salt and Sorrows | Erin A. Craig

so-so

I‘ve been reading too much YA/NA fantasy & romantasy lately, a little goes a long way for me in these genres & this was pretty weak in comparison to my other current reads. But I didn‘t want to DNF just because I was comparing it to Iron Flame 😅
Nothing happens until the last 3rd of the book & suddenly it became terrifying & weird. So it was a long journey to get to the good part, but then I was riveted. I didn‘t care about the romance though

Cruel Beauty | Rosamund Hodge

so-so

Not the best thing ever, nor the worst. It felt uneven, and the last section…meh. I get why it‘s there, but I didn‘t care for it. I didn‘t hate this, might recommend it for specific readers, but I wouldn‘t read it again and I wouldn‘t expend effort looking for others by this author.
