I am posting a book every day from my TBR collection. 📚

Day 72

#tbrmountain #bookstoread #tbrpile

Here‘s my June TBR. I‘m much of a mood reader, but I‘ve been doing a pretty good job of sticking to the TBR I set (for the most part 😂)

I‘ve gotten pretty far on all the challenges I‘m doing, so I might take a break and read only what I want to read for the month of June. Though a few on this list are for prompts!

Happy June! So happy it‘s finally feeling like Summer! ☀️☀️📚📚

#JuneTBR

We are strong and proud and beautiful and there are not enough stars in the night sky to measure our worth. Yes, I think. I am just a woman.

In light of what is happening in America right now, remember ladies, that your beauty, your power, your worth, is endless and priceless.

This book is so depressing right now, in light of what‘s happening to women all around the country. #stopthebans

I feel a scream, loud enough to make the whole world deaf, building in my chest.

Another reviewer called this the Handmaid's Tale for YA, and that does sum up the world building. It's done well, and I enjoyed the story.

How adorable is Kristen Simmons? #GRCC

The Glass Arrow is one of my favorite dystopians I've read. Full of action and a rich setting and WOLVES, this is a great, swift read. 🏹

I've had this book sitting on my shelf for ages, I think I got it as part of a super clearance on BookOutlet but I finally picked it up because @FearYourEx was glowing about it so hard, and it was great. A dystopian, stand alone novel, with a heroine you adore mostly because she fights so hard dispite all the odds being stacked against her. . . Kind of the YA version of A Handmaiden Tale

"they've forgotten, or maybe they've never learned, that their worth is not determined by how much a man wants them."
- kristen simmons, THE GLASS ARROW ?

Right now I'm reading Phantom Rose by Tanwa Adanlawo but after I'm thinking of reading The Glass Arrow by Kristen Simmons.
I've also completely scratched my TBR this month due to Netflix, so tell me should I give it a go?
Short Summary
Woman and Men used to live as equals but now ten generations later woman are considered property. Aya lives with her family outside the city where she is caught and put up for auction. Her only hope is a mute boy.

the story was fantastic, kind of a Handmaiden Tale vibe in a dystopian world where women have become both rare and property. Used for breeding (if the are able) and for toys is they are not.

The heroin is so feisty, I loved how she fought tooth and claw throughout the book and even though she failed time and time again it was so satisfying to see her efforts. There was romance, danger, and the fierce need to protect yourself and loved ones.

I've been thinking of changing up my feed and adding a few more pictures taken outside with a shallow depth of field. What do you guys think? Should I have more pictures like this in my feed or do you prefer/really like my original white background?

Thanks for your input. 😉

Hunger Games meets Handmaid's Tale....

I have the best reading companions 📚🐶💟🐶

cant wait to pick up this book tomorrow 😊📚

We are strong and proud and beautiful and there are not enough stars in the night sky to measure our worth.

In a world where females are scarce and are hunted, then bought and sold at market for their breeding rights, 15-year old Aya has learned how to hide. With a ragtag bunch of other women and girls, she has successfully avoided capture and eked out a nomadic but free existence in the mountains. But when Aya‘s luck runs out and she‘s caught by a group of businessmen on a hunting expedition, fighting to survive takes on a whole new meaning

Kristen Simmons was a great author to meet. There was a group of ten us to see her. She's the only author that I met that made us do a craft with her. Lol
I liked this book. She has a degree in psychology and social work. She really brought that into her book.
It's definitely something to check out.

The Glass Arrow was a pretty good book. It mentions a few heavier subjects, but other than that it's a clean book. I really liked the main character and her half-friend Daphne.
