Book 20 of #MountTBR- I may have to check out Stiefvater‘s other books as I loved this one. I love Puck. She is a feisty and strong character. It had just the right amount of a romance and no love triangle!

Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions | Amy Stewart

pick

This is my final book for #booked2018 ! Happy to say that it was also from the mountainous #TBR pile! This is Book 3 of a series based on the real life of sisters who lived in New Jersey in the early 1900‘s. Miss Constance Kopp became somewhat a celebrity due to the fact that a female assistant sheriff, who carried a gun and wore a gold star was quite unusual for the period! Despite the lack of respect that she faced, Constance was a #underdoghero

JanuarieTimewalker13 Oooh, I would love to see that sweet painting behind the book! 5y

DivineDiana @JanuarieTimewalker13 We lost our dear bunny last year. My husband and I went to fundraiser in her honor and painted her portrait. 5y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Ohhhh, bunnies are the sweetest!!! I‘ve never had one, but I‘ve met one at a vet‘s office. 5y

Cinfhen I‘ve heard good things about this book/,series. Sorry about your bunny 5y

True Grit | Charles Portis

pick

4.5/5
I never read this classic nor watched the movies, which isn‘t a surprise because I don‘t really gravitate towards westerns. But, I‘m so glad I read this because I loved it! It‘s beautiful, straightforward storytelling. And I loved the voice of Mattie Ross. Highly recommend.

nelehelen @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft I read this for the “Underdog Hero” for the young MC and Rooster character (who seemed unlikely to show kindness and integrity). Do you guys think it would work?? (edited) 5y

Cinfhen Great choice and AWESOME BOOK 🤠 5y

Cinfhen Mattie was definitely an #UnderdogHero 💕🙌🏻 5y

nelehelen @Cinfhen i love it when i discover books that are so good in genres i would never read! All thanks to awesome reading challenges like the ones you guys put together!! 🙌🏼👍🏼 5y

Cinfhen Thanks!!! I feel like I can‘t get any credit for this one... you just discovered the perfect book on your own.... well done ❤️ 5y

#spooky The Elementals
#underdoghero Murder as a Fine Art

vivastory I just checked out Murder As A Fine Art. Your review has me even more excited for it. 5y

Reviewsbylola It was really good!! The author wrote in his afterword that he immersed himself in 1854 Victorian London for two years in preparation for writing this book and it clearly showed. He went above and beyond by including a lot of details about the period. @vivastory (edited) 5y

vivastory That sounds exactly what I was looking for! I'm looking for a new historical mystery series after I read the final book in MJ Carter's series

The Devil's Feast: The Blake and Avery Mystery Series

Reviewsbylola Definitely Three Things About Elsie. I really enjoyed them all though, which is awesome! @4thhouseontheleft 5y

Murder as a Fine Art | David Morrell

pick

This book is replete with #underdoghero(es). Thomas de Quincey is first and foremost as he races to discover who is recreating the brutal, decades old Ratcliff Highway murders in Victorian London.

De Quincey is best known for his memoir Confessions of an English Opium Eater, which I have actually read but of which I have little recollection. This was an immersive, fast paced historical thriller.

And with that, I‘ve completed #booked2018.

Murder as a Fine Art | David Morrell

I finally found a book for #underdoghero @Cinfhen . It‘s fantastic so far. My reading buddy prefers lounging on the coffee table as I read. 🤪

PS I swear we don‘t beat her or anything. She just always has a super guilty look on her face. 😂

AlaMich Does she wear her little fleece in the house or did she just come back from a walk? 🐶❤️ 5y

The Book Thief | Markus Zusak

I loved The Book Thief. It was beautifully written and told by Death, who was a fantastic narrator. Although I will warn those who haven't read it yet kleenex will be needed 💙
Also has anyone seen the movie? How does it compare with the book?
#MonthofZusak @EadieB @MinDea
#booked2018 #UnderdogHero @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen

jdiehr The movie is worth watching but, of course, doesn't come close to the awesomeness of the book - which happens to be my all time favorite 5y

alisiakae I needed so many tissues when I read this book. 😭😭 5y

Cinfhen Loved the book and the movie!!!!!Watched the movie with my son last year....we both needed tissues 😭😭 5y

The Scorpio Races | Maggie Stiefvater

I need a book that fits #UnderdogHero for #Booked2018. For those who have read it, would the tagged book work? It‘s on my shelves and would also count toward #MountTBR. 🤞🏻

LorieL I think this would apply to #underdoghero for sure! 5y

CrowCAH Definitely works for that category! I LOVED this book; still lives with me!!! 5y

Bookzombie @LorieL @CrowCAH Thank you both! ❤️ 5y
