Winging Home: A Palette of Birds | Harold Rhenisch

Wow!! What a crazy fall I‘ve had! Super busy with family events, finally completing a graphite drawing I‘ve been working on for months, new school year with great students, weekends away, fantastic birthday celebrations, and now preparing for the holiday season! This image represents how happy I am to finally send my #LMPBC books winging away to their next readers. SO sorry I‘m late! Reviews to follow!!

The Mermaid | Christina Henry

pick

When her love is swallowed by the sea, a mermaid finds herself choosing to work with PT Barnum‘s museum while in the throes of grief. Can she find peace while learning about the human world?

This was a beautifully written story. Lyrical and sweeping, but very grounded in the real world. I loved the relationships between the women characters. The pace was very slow, for the most part, until everything came to a head in the last bit. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

The Vanishing Half: A Novel | Brit Bennett

pick

I really enjoyed this book. It was emotional and such a good story. I wanted to know what happened next. I‘m so glad I decided to read it even though it was a little difficult for me. I‘m thinking that since I already have the next read for #LMPBC #Round15 #GroupT, I will read ‘I Am The Messenger‘ asap and get them in the mail together. This is my last week at a job I‘ve had for 14 years so I‘m prob not making it to the PO until next week anyway.

The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, Book 1) | Maggie Stiefvater

@Readergrrl it arrived today thank you I am going to try and read it after I get the boys down for bed. I really hope I like it seeing I have not been able to get into any of the other books she has written. #LMPBC #Round15 #GroupX @KateReadsYA @persephone1408 @suvata

Thorn | Intisar Khanani

so-so

Princess Alyrra is dreading her arranged marriage to a far away prince. When a sorceress switches Alyrra and her companion‘s bodies, Alyrra is ready to start a new life as a goose girl. Her plans are disrupted when she has to decide if saving the prince is worth her new life.

This was a fun twist on the Goose Girl! Lovely world building, great 2ndary cast, & a romance I can get behind. But Alyrra is inconsistent & a bit passive for me. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

The Vanishing Half: A Novel | Brit Bennett

I‘ve been absent recently. Life has been heavy. I‘m not sure this read is going to help but it‘s next on my TBR. I received it Saturday for #LMPBC #Round15 #GroupT. Here goes ladies! @Kimzey @vonnie862 @Readergrrl

Readergrrl Honestly, I loved this book, but if you are feeling the weight of the world right now, don‘t force yourself to read it. Just send it on its merry way! Read something to bring you joy or help you escape for awhile. My feelings will not be hurt one bit!! I enjoyed this book, but it is a heavy read that I wouldn‘t want to read either if I weren‘t in the right frame of mind. Zero pressure! Reading should be a pleasure, not a burden! 2y

BookishBelle Thank you @Readergrrl ! I‘m going to give it a try. 2y

The Bloodprint | Ausma Zehanat Khan

so-so

I was very eager to read this novel: a 🚺author who writes about a 🚺 MC with a Middle Eastern/North African tone to the fantasy world…but I kept translating this into a fantasy Taliban world. I was too distracted drawing parallels between the novel and what I‘ve learned about life under Taliban rule. Still there were beautiful scenes and I should reserve judgement until I read the next in the series. 2.5/5⭐️ I‘ll be mailing this out today!
