so-soI mean this is kind of a basic book but sometimes that isn't bad. We all drink pumpkin spice lattes while wearing uggs with our hair in a messy bun sometimes *shrugs*
pickWhat if Sparatcus was a woman??? Full of rich history and details about Roman life and culture, I thought this was a great YA novel. It‘s fast-paced with a lot of action and a strong female character.
I‘ve been fighting a book slump. So I decided to read whatever caught my interest and so be it. I refuse to worry about books that were on hold that I haven‘t read yet and probably can‘t renew. Oh well. This book randomly caught my eye at the library and it‘s GOOD. The premise: “What if Spartacus was a woman?” 👊👊
My #readathon totals:
Finished two books I'd already started
Started and finished two books
Started two books
Three of the books counted towards the scavenger hunt in the Goodreads group.
I had a great readathon and I hope you did too, or you'll consider joining in next time!
On to what will probably be my final #readathon book! It was the featured book in the most recent #Illumicrate box and this mug was one of the other products. #YA #youngadult
This is not my type of book so it is going directly to my local LFL.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soA decent 3.5 star read. A bit melodramatic at times, but I enjoyed reading it! Even though I only finished it last week I just realized that I've already forgotten the main characters name...probably not a good sign. 😬 But I do remember her being an unapologetic badass so that's something! A decent pick, but apparently fairly forgettable? Hoping the next installment is stronger!
pickI gave this book 4 out if 5 stars! The main character, Attia, has been my favorite character I've read about in a long time! She was fiesty while still maintaining a gentleness! She was everything a warrior princess should be! And Xanthus balances her out with his calm demeanor! That ending had me wanting to curl up in the fetal position... 😭
