I mean look it‘s hard to not see the ending coming here, but I did enjoy the story. Russian revolution but with a magical Faberge egg. Characters pretty flat and unsympathetic but what can I say, I was charmed nonetheless.

Today's @bookriot #riotgrams photo is for one word titles. I couldn't decide which book to pick, so I used three: one that I've read and loved (Fangirl) and two that I own but have yet to read (Homegoing and Tsarina).

One more #fictionnonfictionpairing. I have a thing for Russia and the Romanovs so these books deserve a place on my #tbr. 📚

GinaAnderson Oh that is too bad. I hate when writers take the easy way out. 9y

maximoffs @GinaAnderson nothing irks me more than when authors use "the power of love" to heal people 9y

"You said it wasn't your fault for being born rich any more than it was my fault for being born poor. And you're right. But if we don't do anything to fix the world, if we just shrug and let children starve and soldiers die and people be treated like cattle...if we don't fix the world, Miss Kutepova, I believe it becomes our fault."

Laalaleighh I love this quote 9y

GinaAnderson Truth. 9y

I see this more and more in the world today with the constant polarization with politics and such. Sometimes I wonder how myself and someone else could both call ourselves American because clearly *I* am right. Always 😉 but really. I really liked this, it put into words I think what everyone feels at one point.

I just made a milkshake and I am reading this amazing retelling of the Russian Revolution with magical realism and I just don't understand why people don't drink milkshakes and read more often?

BookishFeminist I think if more people just made a delicious milkshake and read a great story more often there would be significantly fewer problems in this world 👍🏼 9y

maximoffs @BookishFeminist I agree wholeheartedly. Especially because after this I go back to the God forsaken After series 9y
