The Stolen Queen: A Novel | 
My #Bookspin is a new release historical fiction I'm excited to read! My #Doublespin is a middle grade historical fiction told in verse; it also just received a Newbery Honor award and fits perfectly with Black History Month. Both historical, but very different settings!!

so-soFiona Davis is one of my favorite historical fiction novelists, and one author that I have read all of her books. I acknowledge that I am about to express an unpopular opinion: while The Stolen Queen was enjoyable, it did not fully resonate with me as some of her other novels have.

The fruits of my visit to a local Indie bookstore for my birthday. Had to have those sticky notes! The tagged book is my newly published pre-order book. 🎉📚🎂

pickThis book is exactly what would happen if you mixed The Mummy with Indiana Jones with Night at the Museum with the Met Gala with Amelia Peabody—Davis throws all the best/worst archaeology, museum, tombs, curses, bad family, treasure hunting, you name it tropes at the wall and for the most part they stick. Is it in any real way accurate? No. Is it a fun and entertaining read? Yes, it is and I can see this being a fun escape for readers.
Today‘s reading—the Met, ancient Egypt and a mysterious queen, a curse. What could go wrong? I imagine all sorts of fun and adventure awaits. Danger too…

I am excited about Fiona Davis‘s new book coming out this month! I preordered it from my local Indie bookstore. I am enrolled in a program they have that discounts new books if you preorder them. I want to support this bookstore, do I became a member. Otherwise, except for buddy reads(if not in my local library), I have banned myself from buying books. Quite an addiction so….😂
pickFiona Davis can do no wrong in my book 🥰 I love her stories, the settings, and her characters are so well developed that they practically leap off the page. I tried to pace myself reading this, but once I got past halfway I couldn‘t resist trying to finish it asap. Preorder or put your name on your library‘s waitlist now, you‘ll want to read this when it publishes 1/7/2025!!
So I have some exciting news… I won a giveaway hosted by the fabulous Fiona Davis to promote her new book, “The Stolen Queen” coming out Jan. 7, 2025 🙌
I know what I‘ll be reading this weekend 😎💕
