4/5

Violet may have been a villain, but when evil adopted father dies, she has an opportunity to start over, by opening a florist shop in the town next to the castle she used to live in. But a power vacuum is tempting to other villains, and Violet may find it harder to be good than she expected.

I really enjoyed this cozy fantasy about people looking for a second chance.

This is book 4 in the series and the first I have read but I will definitely go back and find the earlier ones. Its a really clever and twisty story. This is a bit of a slow burn to begin with but it keeps you reading. The story is told by multiple characters and jumps times a bit but its easy to follow, and helps the story develop. The ending was really cleverly put together and I enjoyed the various twists along the way. #Netgalley 4*

OutsmartYourShelf

This is a well-researched, very readable account of the history of the campaigns for female suffrage (voting rights) in the UK. As per the title, it concentrates heavily on the parallel, more militant suffragette movement in the UK & its links to the Pankhurst family in particular.

The author does an excellent job of being balanced towards the subjects - detailing the many good things about the campaigns but also not ignoring areas of weakness,

OutsmartYourShelf both in the Pankhursts' politics & their private lives. Indeed Emmeline Pankhurst herself was an odd mix - alert to the poverty of the working classes, yet refused initially to buy her son the glasses he needed to see properly.

It brought home to me just how misogynistic the government was in dealing with these courageous women. Behaviour which was expected/tolerated in men campaigning for their rights was condemned in women, & the methods used
3d
OutsmartYourShelf by the police & those in power were disgraceful.

All in all, this is an excellent introduction to the subject. I really enjoyed reading it as it is written in a way that is informative yet not academically dry. 4.5🌟

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Pen & Sword, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

The Odds of You | Kate Dramis
Pickpick

I absolutely loved The Odds of You! It was a super cute and fast-paced romance that I flew through in one sitting. The chemistry between the main characters was so palpable, and the banter was top-notch. If you're looking for a book that gives you all the warm, fuzzy feelings and a really satisfying HEA (happily ever after), definitely pick this one up! Thank you #NetGalley, #KateDramis, and #MacMillanAudio for allowing me to listen to this ARC.

Xolo | Donna Barba Higuera

4/5

I thought this was both a fun retelling of Aztec mythology from the perspective of Xolotl, as well as a good introduction to some of the Aztec gods and mythology for middle grade readers. I really liked the part where Xolo sees himself in the dogs he helped create and sees that his flaws aren't as bad as he thought.

4.5/5

Simran is a witch. Vina is a knight. Both are trapped in a story that will inevitable lead to their deaths and then the cycle will repeat again. But something is hunting down and killing stories, and Simran and Vina must work together to find out what is happening if they hope to stay alive long enough to have a chance at changing their own story.
