Ostriches are things that happen to other people

But to love nature...

When I was in middle school, this was one of my absolute favorite books. As an adult, I can think of a million other middle grade novels that I prefer to this one....

My favorite of Saints' books so far. Really a fabulous read.

Somehow I“ve never read this before and I really loved it. Will definitely be seeking out the rest of the series.

It was good, but there are so many better middle grade novels out there

Oh my goodness- such a fabulous read!

A must read. Tragic. Magnificently written. Will definitely be seeking out other books by Barnhill.

Another great Pratchett book

Book 1/14 done! Loved this book the first time i read it, but needed to reread before continuing the arc...

Yet again, I've finished reading this book. Yet again, I'm utterly enchanted by it. Yet again, I'm not really certain what it's about. But it's beautiful. And I'll continue to ponder the story for a long time to come....

#20in4 @Andrew65 Finished my fourth partially-read book this weekend. Decided to read the last chapter rather than listen to the audiobook (hence it taking much less than two hours to get through).

A very interesting read, especially for those looking to prioritize adding native plants to their land.

#20in4 @Andrew65 I thought I had a lot more left to read in this book, than I actually did. So will probably finish up my last book (only two hours of audio left) and then the exciting decision of “what to read next!“

Such an interesting read, although some of it was a bit over my head. Carding could make anyone fall in love with Shakespeare's work.

#20in4 @Andrew65 Book two of four complete. Two more half-finished books to go!

Beautiful written, but such crazy characters...

#20in4 @Andrew65
Finished my first of four books that I'm in the middle of ..

#20in4 @andrew65
Updated Goal: Finish all the books I'm in the middle of reading - Wuthering Heights, Little Big, So Potent Art, Wild Plant Culture

Oh my goodness, it's beautifully written, but all these characters belong on the Jerry Springer show.... 😬😅

A really lovely book. Rambles a little, but really lovely

Such a brilliant read

Oh, the wisdom of Terry Pratchett! What a brilliant, fun read! #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

August #bookspin #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Thoroughly enjoyable. I loved the ending

I love how the author wrote the opening chapter in such a way that i don't have to wrack my brain trying to remember where the last book left off. She doesn't summarize book 1, but definitely reminds you of where you are in the story

❤️

A very interesting read. Had been completely unfamiliar with Lenape folktales, previously

As a child, I read and loved I Am Mordred. This book only hit my radar a few years ago and I'm so glad i took the time to read it. It's another lovely, feminist Arthurian retelling.

Confession: I bought this book knowing nothing about it other than the fact that I adore the author.

Like any Cat Valente book, the writing is MAGNIFICENT, but this plot isn't for me. At all.

Very interesting after just finishing Kaikeyi. A beautiful coming-of-age story. Heartbreak. Beauty. Love. Acceptance. Strength. Divinity.

Two stars simply because i enjoy sarcastic characters. Otherwise, very much not a fan. I'm counting this for my July#bookspinbingo board @TheAromaofBooks. It's no. 2 on my list for this month

All these reviews are well -deserved. The book was incredible!

Updated July #bookspin list @TheAromaofBooks

A fun, refreshing read, but not nearly as brilliant as A Spindle Splintered

Another lovely Marillier novel. Looking forward to finishing the trilogy

July #bookspin list @TheAromaofBooks

Always a good sign ❤️

Another bit of De Lint perfection

❤️

After being very disappointed by my last read, I'll call it quits on page two. Not in the mood for something that seems so promisingly depressing

Bingo... 🙄 #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Part of me adored this book. Part of me felt like I was reading some sub-par BBC Merlin fanfic. There is so much perfection in this book. Then lines that don't fit. A chapter than infuritates me beyond measure (chapter 32 - WTF WAS THAT ABOUT???). And a lot of drama. I should have stopped reading about halfway through. I was much less angry at this book then.

@bookspinbingo @thearomaofbooks #20in4 @andrew65

A line like this is almost laughable when the book is based off of The Lady of Shallot.... 🤦‍♀️

Chapter 32, WTF was that?? @mollyrotondo - i have no idea what i think of this book anymore.......

#20in4 @Andrew65

Goal: Finish reading the tagged book. That's about 100 pages/day. Completely doable if i actually commit to it...

Not for me.... Was hoping I'd fall in love with it like I did her YA books when I was younger. #bookspinbingo @thearomaofbooks
