The #maid is a favourite with the Ghost Cat. I enjoyed this read which I picked up at a street library in Exmouth WA.

Not my usual genre. I liked the writing style. 3rd person for the main narrative and 1st person for the MC's past. Well written and kept me hooked!

Catching up on my #AuldLangSpine recs from…2024! 😆 Thank you, @Deblovestoread - this one was outstanding. I‘d been happy to see Rebecca Wait on your list because she seems so beloved here on Litsy. I now see why. Loved the writing, and these characters will stay with me.

Same.

Who, really, is the woman behind the man Macbeth who would be king?

A lovely retelling of one of my favorite Shakespearean that really gets into who Queen Macbeth was. Unfortunately for it, it also didn‘t do what I wanted. I had gone in expecting a tale of an ambitious, manipulative queen, & instead got a story of really good, beloved King Macbeth who united Scotland, accepted all. I might like this better on a reread.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

This #YANovel is set on a Scottish “ghost island” (meaning it‘s not on original maps), & opens with Fraser, his mute brother & newcomer Hayley, being thrust together on a stormy night— that in the morning washes up a dead whale & then a dead body not long after! Though predictable, I enjoyed the magic of the whales enough to overcome some of the mixed messages & unrealistic dialogue & characters. Fun audio performance with a great accent!

This is my least favorite of the Seven Sisters novels, so far. The setting in Grenada and Sacromonte, among the Roma cave dwellers was interesting, but I disliked Lucia — she is self-absorbed, selfish, uninteresting and uninterested in anything but her dancing. Tiggy is more wishy-washy. I wanted to like her better than I did. #audiowalk

So excited for Blood of My Blood!
