pickThis was a premise about which I was initially slightly skeptical, but I eschewed my cynicism & read on. And I was pleasantly surprised not just by the fact that the premise worked really well, but also by how much I enjoyed this book! It really did totally grab me. Moving & surprisingly thought provoking with a cracking redemption arc for the bad guy & a really satisfying ending. And dogs. What more could you want really? 🐕🐶🐕
panI was underwhelmed by this book. The general concept of the story was great. I actually liked a lot of the little touches that hinted at The Nutcracker. That being said...I didn't like much else about it. The pacing of the story left me bored. I had to push myself to finish it. Then the relationship between characters felt underdeveloped. Same with a lot of the story. Some parts just seemed thrown together. I don't think this is the book for me.
pickI enjoyed this graphic novel, a reimagining of the Korean folktale of Gumiho the nine-tailed fox.
pickThis is a fun book, a light romance with hints of magic and lots of tea but it is not super well written.
Charlotte is a baker who wants to publish her murder story, and when a magic tea pot connects her with a man who might be perfect, Charlotte has to decide what she wants and who she wants to be.
2.5/5 stars read for a light, kissing only, romance with hits of magic and some intrigue. Some weak writing, but a fun story.
pickI love a cozy romance and this one really hit the spot. The story of Lynet a middle class bookbinder and Reggie a posh soldier invalided out from WWI working together to create magic books for the government. #mtTBR #ReadAway2024
Book 4 from my TBR!
Thank you, Jessi! The tagged was from my wish list and I love the Montague Siblings series! I‘m sure I‘ll have fun with book 3. Love it! #jolabokaflodswap #jolabokaflod
