“Was Shakespeare anybody much?” 😊😂 When the YA book you grabbed up (based on the cover alone) while at the library is about to go into a rant... ❤️ I‘m on page 64 and I‘m still clueless as to what is going on, but one of the characters is now chatting books with a pixie 🤷🏼‍♀️ The pages are so pretty, so I keep reading in hopes it will pick up in catching my attention better.

HjHill @gossamerchild this book kind of makes me think of you. 6y
gossamerchild @HjHill are you implying that I rant about things that only only make sense to me?!? 😂🤣😂 6y
HjHill @gossamerchild 😂 no... but I guess that could be true too. It‘s set in Dartmoor, with an odd mix of historical references, mythology(maybe), bookish references & pixies! Apparently it‘s also an abridged take on a classic... I‘m not sure how, but I might look at that more later. Kind of fun. 6y
HjHill @gossamerchild there were a lot of classic literature references in the following 10 pages. You might enjoy... or not. 😆 Basically I keep reading to find out how the fairies play into the story. 6y
gossamerchild @HjHill nice. 🤣 6y

I finally picked this up again after a week+ and I had read the first page about 3 times. I love when books speak to you so quickly, and when you can also hear the author's voice come through so clearly. Looking forward to this read & love all the photos sprinkled in.

I love this book and look forward to the second in the series. 9-12 year old me would have ranked this right up there with Inspector Gadget, and this would have added to my imaginary play where my notebook was really a hidden computer. I borrowed the book, but I'm feeling like I need to get my own copy. First, the cover art is fantastic, and the story is just wonderful. Like "The Billionaire's Curse" a great young reader adventure/intrigue story.

RadicalReader @HjHill I absolutely adore the book‘s cover art so often I‘ll pick up a book simply because of the stunning cover 6y

Okay... I am just starting this & not 100% sure of where all of the options for posting can be accessed, so don't mind the inexperienced posting, but I'm jumping in! Also, my coffee has not kicked in and I ramble too much while sleepy, so I will attempt to keep it short. I picked up this title because it is the new Fox Cities Read pick. A community read with the potential for a powerful impact. I look forward to a great read, and discussions.

RadicalReader @HjHill all the posting options are going to be located on the plus symbol on the bottom center of the screen. You can post quotes, blurbs( emotions and thoughts about chapters and sections) and reviews of the books you‘re reading. 6y
