This 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!

1. Yes. I was going to guess 500 but decided to go ahead and count. Turns out we have 916 books currently. 😱 I don't know how that happened lol
2. I only finished like 4 books this month and they were all OK.

It took me years to get around to this book, but it was worth the wait. It‘s an intriguing premise with a memorable cast of characters. The mystery at the beginning was especially interesting. If I had to critique, I would say the first half mystery carried itself better than the second half hero vs. villain plot. Here‘s hoping Miss Peregrine and her peculiar children continue to mystify and intrigue in the second book.

I‘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‘m a little bit late today. My modem decided to freak out and I spent most of the day trying to get the tiniest bit of internet. They are sending a new one, but it‘s going to take a couple of days. I might disappear again, but I will eventually be back. Anyway, I did not expect the story to go where it did. Sanderson never fails to surprise me. I can‘t wait to hear what you all think. #CosmereBuddyRead

Andrew65 @JacqMac I‘ve just started chapter 15 so only about two weeks behind now 😂 Better than 2 books behind! 😳 Hope to catch up before the next book! Really enjoying this one. Very different to the initial trilogy. Interesting to see how (if) if joins up in the future. 4h
Andrew65 Good luck with your internet issues. 4h

JacqMac @Andrew65 Two weeks is much closer. Lol I‘m starting to panic a little because I haven‘t been able to find a copy of the next book yet, but I‘m sure I will get one in time. I‘m also wondering if there will be a crossover of some sort in the future. 3h
Andrew65 @JacqMac What is the next book we‘re reading? Up to Chapter 19 now! 2h
JacqMac @Andrew65 The Way of Kings is up next. It‘s the beginning of another series, that ends with the last book on our list. It‘s a bit of a mixed up list. But I‘m trusting the process. lol 1h
Andrew65 @JacqMac Good progress tonight, got up to the start of Chapter 23. Thanks for the information on the book. Interesting section tonight, and still trying to work out what is going on. 26m

No one cheerfully refuses pie! Yesterday was Blueberry Pie Day, but I made a mixed fruit crumb top instead.

A break from all my backgrounds of spring flowers. My first Lief Enger; this is for the Tournament of Favorites. I volunteered to be an alternate judge.

BarbaraBB What is the Tournament of Favorites? 4h
BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - the goodreads group for ToB runs our own tourney. Last year I judged The End of Drum Time vs The Bandit Queens (I was terrified 😂) 4h
BarbaraBB Nice! And which did you root for? 3h
BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - well, I went with Bandit Queens because it was more fun 🤩 🤷🏻‍♀️ though, I was extremely impressed with the writing of Drum Time. But it was just so bleak. So… both very worthy books. (Which is why book competitions are silly!!) 3h
