pickI'm slowly making my way through all the Pimpernel books in chronological order. They're definitely rather same-y, which is why they're fun to read about once every couple of months 😂 This one was a little slow on action and a little long on everyone contemplating potential action, but I still enjoy the absolutely ridiculous melodrama. Published 1908. If you're looking for some fist-shaking villains and a hero who would rather die with honor ⬇
pickAfter a job change and having my reading be primarily related to a nutrition certification I was finishing up, I am finally back to reading for fun. Reading this on serial reader was the perfect way to get back to reading.
It kept me engaged and although I suspected some things might occur, it still kept me guessing which I love in a book.
This is a recap of what I finished for #JoysofJune hosted by @Andrew65 I had a great time doing this!
I finished 6 books!!!
3 physical books, 2 ebooks, and 1 audiobook
📱 In Search of a Prince by Toni Shiloh 3/5 stars

🎧 Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly 3/5 stars
📖 Her Only Wish by Shelley Shepherd Gray 3/5 stars
Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott 4/5 stars

pickI actually loved this book more than the other book that I have read by this author. I love the time travel plotline and the characters were great. I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars!!! This is the 6th book completed for #JoysofJune hosted by @Andrew65
pickThis is a grand adventure with the Scarlet Pimpernel and his followers rescuing victims from the guillotiné during the French Revolution. An agent of the French government is determined to find out the Pimpernel‘s identity and make him pay for his good deeds. This started out slow but I ended up liking it more than I expected at the beginning. Read for my IRL book club.
pickWell October went a bit off the rails (as it does every year lol). I actually did read 24 books, but reviews were virtually nonexistent. So let's start fresh with November!!
First November read is a very fun Scarlet Pimpernel book. You should definitely read the first book in the series first, but after that they are often just collections of adventures. This one is a little strong on the love drama, but I still enjoyed it. ⬇️
This is easily one of my top ten - if I had to get rid of my library, books. The terror came after decades of warning signs. The only way to not repeat history is to learn from it .
pickA clear, concise account of popular images of the French Revolution (Carlyle, Dickens, Orczy), what led to it, the events, the aftermath, and scholarship surrounding the bicentennial and afterwards.
