Stephanie Burgis (author of Kat, Incorrigible) shared this app & so, of course, I played with it.
This is who I am now.

Edit: Oh. Right. It‘s not in English. I just kept pushing the pink button until I was presented with pictures. And I used context clues. 🤷♀️
1. “Melmoth“, “Electric Arches“, “The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple.“
2. I've had so much assigned textbook reading lately. I'm *seriously* craving some fiction. Top of my list is “My Sister, the Serial Killer.“ The next audiobook I have on-deck is A.S. King's newest YA, “Dig.“ The poetry collection waiting for me on my nightstand is “Sad Math.“
3. I rec'd the tagged book to a classmate's 13 yr-old who loved “Harry Potter.“
2. Our V-Day tradition is to go to a bookstore as a family. Everyone gets a book and a treat.
3. Orange-unfortunate that I live in Knoxville-home of the TN Volunteers
4. They had no boy names picked out. I guess they lucked out.

This is a review for "Snowspelled" (no Litsy record) by Stephanie Burgis, due out 9.4.17.
It's an adult historical/fantasy novella set in 19th c. Angland. Women are politicians & men, magicians. Cassandra is a rebel-magician who's recently lost her magic & her fiancé; it's up to her to save her society from Elven destruction. The gender flips are fun (e.g. men can be "hopelessly compromised"). It's a quick story (too quick!) with lots of heart.
I follow Steph Burgis on Facebook (& to the ends of the earth). She asked if anyone wanted an ARC of "Snowspelled," her first romantic fantasy novella for adults. I said, "Me, duh." I love her "Kat" books (which are basically like if JK Rowling & Jane Austen had book-babies (magic + regency manners + light romance -- for kids)).
I just started & am already giddy about the combination of carriages, voluminous skirts & trolls. Preparing to swoon.?
Rereading this favorite while waiting for my kids' Spring concert to start. It is our book club book this month and I'm so excited to discuss it.
