The Bone Charmer | 
pickThis was a unique book. Saskia comes from a long line of bone charmers, but doesn't want to be one. There's a bone reading ceremony that all teenagers go through that determines their career and potential spouse. Saskia breaks the bone and her reality spilts into two and she lives out two fates at once. The chapters alternate between Bone Charmer Saskia and Tutor Saskia. It was a really solid book. #YA #fortunetellers
BONES + SPLIT STORY PATHS + PRETTY COVER = MY BODY IS READY FOR THIS BOOK
October Wrap Up : 8 books! (4 library books, 3 off my shelf and 1 ebook) Am I still behind on my goodreads challenge? Yes. Is this a concern? Also yes. Favourite reads this month include : The Bone Charmer by Breena Shields, Harley Merlin & the Secret Coven by Bella Forrest (which is allegedly what grown up Harry Potter fans are reading now!), Early Riser by Jasper Fforde (still waiting on that last Nursery Crime book!)
pickI finally got around to reading one of my most anticipated reads for 2019! I really enjoyed it! It‘s a tale of fate and freedom - two timelines for Saskia are caused when she breaks her kenning bone during a bone reading that determines apprenticeships. In the first, Saskia trains as a Bone Reader, in the second, as a tutor who uncovers something about a shadow market and deaths in her family that she wasn‘t meant to...
Canada got an ugly ass cover for this book so my wonderful friend Jennifer got me the US cover! I've been wanting this for MONTHS
I always love it when YA books have solid relationship advice. And in this case, I love it all the more, because this feels like a direct subversion of a lot of soulmate-related tropes (or even just romance tropes, honestly) that drive me completely batshit.
(I always appreciate it when fiction takes the time to deconstruct things like this, but don‘t seem to run into it too often. Alas.)
