pickFor people (e.g. me), Google “the woman with the bowl on her head” and you will find out exactly what this retelling is based on.
Fantasy is not my genre of choice unless it‘s magical realism or a retelling, and I absolutely loved this one!
Also fun useless fact: Shiori is the name of a meeting room in my workplace so it‘s good to have a positive connotation to it after this book :)
so-so
@Texreader posted this sale, but be aware this is Book 2 in The Arc of the Scythe series, and you do really need to read Scythe first. For February‘s author for #authoramonth
My stool creaks in the slate-gray silence. I stretch, then turn once again to stare at the partially finished canvas.

I‘ve coughed a lot these past few days, which means my voice is pretty hoarse, but my Covid shot did its job and kept me from getting super sick. Thanks, science!
I still ain‘t about to go out and infect the public, so I‘ll keep on cuddling Casey and reading stuff for a bit longer. Today we‘ve got the rest of COFFEE SHOP IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, which is just delightful. Maybe the pace is a little slow, but I can‘t mind when it‘s so fun.
pickA brilliant romantsy story about twins separated at births This book sees the two queens battle for Eana one last time. Wren‘s magic has become unruly and making her ill, she must travel to the Northern Mountains in search of a cure. Rose is being haunted by her ancestor and receives a warning. Their final battle may take everything they have but what are they willing to sacrifice?
It definitely needs to be made into a movie!
pickSomehow the adventures in this book were much more high-stakes than usual, and the storytelling was a bit more solid. We got an excellent look into Reiko's past, Nyanko Sensei's motivations, and Natsume's relationship with his foster family. #Manga
