pickThis 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!
panI‘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.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) is discussion day for this month‘s #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead ! Zeke had his visit with the specialist today with a medical procedure to determine things tomorrow, so I will post at some point during the day—the specialist is over an hour away from me, and he has to be there early morning with a pickup time in the evening.
I will tag everyone to let you know the questions have been posted!

So our cozy house has 7 rooms, including the bathroom; the only room that doesn‘t have any books is the bathroom. 😊
I couldn‘t count them or explain — just easier to show bookcases in every room, and yes, I also use shelves inside of a linen closet. 😂
Favorite April reading: tagged 👍
pickSad but ultimately hopeful book of poems about one of the many dark parts of United States history. File it under “stories the Right doesn‘t want your kids to know.”
Edited to add the photo. 😑

1. I wish it were a library. I have books EVERYWHERE. No idea how many, perhaps a few hundred. I'm in the process of getting new bookshelves and reorganizing, but it's taking forever because I'm lazy. 🤷♀️
2. HEARTSTONE by C.J. Sansom: my favorite historical-detective-fictional author. 🤩
pickBoth read for #AuthorAMonth. I‘ve already posted about The Rose Code.
The Phoenix Crown didn‘t pull me in right from the start but I‘m glad I gave it a chance. Set around the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, it follows the story of four women. Last year I read another book about this event, Outrun the Moon by Stacy Lee (#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD), & loved it! I think once I stopped comparing this book to that one, it was more enjoyable.
