The Lost Letter: A Victorian Romance | Mimi Matthews

This is the first, I fear, of many misunderstandings. This seems to be that sort of book. Oh, dear.

The Land of Stone Flowers: A Fairy Guide to the Mythical Human Being | Sveta Dorosheva

#pricedrop and for me, an autobuy. The only thing I really know about this is that it's beautiful.

The Prince and the Dressmaker | Jen Wang

#pricedrop! I indulged.

Oh, I hope the plot isn't romantic! I'm in the mood for something friendship focused, and this seems perfectly positioned for that.

Poison Study | Maria V. Snyder

bailed

Oh no, I remember this one! I tried reading it once before. Bailed at pg. 1.

esurient Poor book is trying so damned hard to be immersive and exciting to catch readers, and it's so stereotypically YA it makes my eyes hurt. I didn't like the writing style (overwrought and without nuance); zero of the author's enthusiasm transferred to my reading experience. 3y

esurient I got further in to this one the first time I tried reading it, and I remember being disappointed by lesser focus on Being the Food Taster than I had expected. 3y

esurient Anyway, it's currently on sale. #pricedrop 3y

readingjedi Totally agree with your comments. I finished the thing, it doesn't improve 😐 3y

esurient @readingjedi Such a bummer. Tanya Huff did a short story once that involved poison, extravagant food, and assassination, and I remember that one fondly. I need to dig it out. 3y

esurient "Slow Poison" in

Finding Magic

BookishMarginalia Yep, that looks pretty bad. 3y

esurient @BookishMarginalia It's a sad feeling to nope out of a book, but I'm not sorry for it. 3y

Polaris Rising: A Novel | Jessie Mihalik

#pricedrop This one had a glowing review from SBTB, but the grassroots reviews are middling and I increasingly loathe first-person narrative. Maybe I'll try reading the sample.

readordierachel I couldn't get into this one 3y

esurient @readordierachel Yeah, I'm not clicking with the sample at all. 3y

Beyond the Black Door | A.M. Strickland

#pricedrop! I've heard some good buzz about this one -- it has an ace heroine! But it's also written in first-person POV, and YA isn't my jam. hmmm.

The House in the Cerulean Sea | Tj Klune

I legit laughed aloud at this. I guess... I'll have to add it to my TBR...

esurient And whoops, I accidentally one-clicked the buy button when trying to download a sample. Good thing it's on sale right now on Kindle! $2.99! #pricedrop (edited) 4y
