pickThis fresh take on a classic character was everything I hoped it would be!
The story follows our protagonist as she faces exile, through a story of continuous challenges that lead her to claiming her own power and creating her own place in the world.
If you're looking for a beautiful, captivating new take on Greek mythology, look no further!
panI‘ll preface this by saying I loved the first 2 books in this series. That being said, I hated this book. It literally felt like pulling teeth to finish it. I tried to make a list of what I disliked, such as the slapstick no-stakes action, the robot characters, the bad dialogue, or the irritating frequent narrator asides, which took me out of the story every time. But it can all be summed up with poor writing. Not even the romances could save it.

I realized I never posted the #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead title for May! This is the first in a trilogy that features Morgan Le Fay from the Arthurian legend.
Read at your own pace throughout May. I‘ll post periodic check ins during the month, and discussion will take place on May 31st.
Please let me know if you wish to be added to or removed from the tag list.

bailedUnfortunately bailing on this one for now. I might try the ebook once my hoopla borrows reset for May, but I've been slogging through this audiobook. I'm a third of the way and feel like barely anything has happened. Has anyone else read this one? Does the pace pick up at all?
I'm bummed because it was doing some cool things inverting the Darcy/Elizabeth characters that I was excited to see explored
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
pickThis has been on my list for awhile, and a reading challenge prompt spurred me to get to it. I really liked this feminist retelling of the myth of Atalanta. How did I not know that she sailed with the Argonauts? Patriarchy, man. 😉 The ending might not be what everyone would consider happy, but I thought it was perfect for Atalanta, whose greatest desire in life was to be free and entirely herself.
#Baturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon
For tonight‘s #HyggeHour I‘ll be reading Mouse House for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 & with the remaining time, more of the tagged book for #JaneAustenThenAndNow
I‘m drinking pineapple lemonade (it‘s humid tonight) & having some of this lemon cake bomb that I got at the bakery near the bookstore on Saturday. 😋🍋💛
Mood is tired & not ready for Monday at all. I‘ll be heading to Kona very early tomorrow. 😵💫

This retelling for me is poor integrating and even boring. I‘m not the target audience but didn‘t like it. However, the illustrations are beautiful made by the author. 2⭐️
Had to share a picture, because I love all the extra artwork shared throughout this trilogy!
