pickI liked it a lot, but I gotta say: this is not a YA book, it‘s just New Adult in a funny outfit. I could have done with Margeaux‘s motivations/character being laid out more clearly, but it was a fun read nonetheless!

Happy Monday! What are you up to today?
I‘m working on a new writing project that I hope to finish up before the start of the year. I‘m also hoping to finish up Salt & Broom. I‘ve really enjoyed my time reading it but it‘s time to move on to something new.
so-soThe switches between Rune and Thorn as narrators would have been less jarring if she labeled the sections. Just too much going on - unique RoseBlood school situation, new friends, mysterious past and family, phantoms underground with their own mysterious pasts and connections, psychic vampires (that was a weird curveball), and romance. After reading the epilogue, I understand the real-life and literary references of why she put all of that in.

What are you reading today? I‘m absolutely loving Salt & Broom. I‘m also a fan of the fact that it‘s finally starting to look like fall in Alabama.
My worst book of October. Not because it was bad, but because it wasn‘t for me.
pick#trappedinaspookyhouse enjoyed this retelling of the Ariadne myth, and the tragic story of Phaedra. I had forgotten everything that happened post-Minotaur so this was a fun one for me!
pickI wasn‘t really sure about this novella, and to be sure, I had a slow start with it…. But once the ghost-Ella finds a way to the Prince‘s Ball…. It moved a lot faster and got more interesting for me. It‘s a different take on the Cinderella tale to be sure! And I LOVE the cover. My photo, full of glare, does not do it justice.
so-so3✨The three odd sisters were a similarity among all the books so far. This was their origin story as well as recapping what happened from them in the other books.
pickThis hit the spot!
I absolutely love Jane Austen's Persuasion, so spin offs make me nervous but this was so good! I am a bit annoyed about the Taylor Swift references but I thought this was great. It is a small town romance with lots of quirky characters, but didn't feel like a Hallmark that demonizes working women - in fact Anne is the hardest worker (for obvious reasons)
I thought this was charming, and lived the goose!
