“To the gremlin girls,
I would like to tell you something inspiring,
but the truth is,
when life closes a door for us,
it doesn‘t always open a window.
The good news is:
that‘s what bricks are for.”
Little Thieves by Margaret Owen
Margaret Owen is quickly making herself an auto buy author for me!

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.

I read this book as a child and I remember being absolutely awestruck by it - it is SO ENCHANTING. Through the use of magical languages, relics of an ancient past that are disregarded by most, Hale weaves a beautiful story. Protagonist Ani has the unique gift of speaking to animals which initially seems to interfere with her royalty but results in her salvation when her lady-in-waiting attempts to steal her crown. An all-time favorite.
so-soInteresting story that reminded me of the princess and the pauper. In reverse. Dark writing. The main who stole the princesses life. Vanja is an intriguing character, but not one I could fully get behind. Yes, I understand where shes form -being forced to make bad decisions in order to survive- yet I could get around to her. Interesting curse she‘s stuck with.
pickI loved everything about this book. Such a great, immersive fairy tale, with amazing characters. I absolutely love the hardback of it as well. I can't wait for the next one! #Readyourtbr #readyourshelves
pickI really enjoyed this young adult fantasy. I received it as a gift and it wasn‘t on my TBR, so I wasn‘t sure what to expect.
It‘s quite dark and definitely needs trigger warnings for sensitive readers.
A complicated story of sorcery and politics and found family, I fell for Alyrra and her good heart.
(Sietje doesn‘t realize there‘s a book behind her. She‘s being a good model for a treat. 🤍)
pickWow. What a ride. It was not entirely what I expected & definitely more than I was expecting, so full of twists & turns & angst (loads of teen angst, this one isn‘t for the faint hearted) that it keeps you turning pages…relentlessly, furiously. Fascinating world, intriguing magic system, one of the most excellent, non-toxic male leads you could ever hope for, the importance of agency & consent woven into the story. I enjoyed this YA fantasy a lot.
