pickA dark fairy tale about a princess who wants to save his sister from her abusive husband. Interesting characters, together and separately. Compelling story. Clever writing. Another case of #authoramonth helping me broaden my horizons.

Thank you @Soubhiville for the lovely books 🥰. I got so distracted opening the box yesterday that I forgot to post. I'm very excited to start Scythe next month. #authoramonth
pick3.5 ⭐ T. Kingfisher has become a master of retold fairytales. This book is loosely based on the Goose Girl tale. It‘s not a tale that I am completely familiar with, so this book was something completely new. While new it held all the classic components of a fairytale. You have the dark and evil entity, in this case of sorceress, who just wants someone with a lot of money that she can control. You have the ingenue, the young one
panWhile I liked Nettle and Bone okay, I did not like this! I don‘t think T. kingfisher is my jam. I found it a predictable, trite story. The audio was terrible IMO. This is a southern family? Why does the grandmother have an accent sliding from Yankee upper society to almost British? WTH? #authoramonth @Soubhiville
I‘m doing #authoramonth and #serieslove2026 plus I‘m part of four book clubs. Two of them don‘t meet over the summer, but then there‘s #CampLitsy instead!
I thought about trying #readordonate again, but rehoming my husband‘s books will probably take at least a few more months.

Another great read by T. Kingfisher. A Southern Gothic supernatural Horror with a heavy dose of humor. Loved it!!
Thanks to #AuthorAMonth book club for introducing new-to-me authors I would not have otherwise read.

I had a little dinner, and I think I‘m finally warmed up again after standing outside in the wind for a while this afternoon.
I‘m taking a break from long book club books to start this #authoramonth selection.

pickFantastic fairytale retelling:
~20% Snow White
~10% Alice in Wonderland
~70% All its own fantasy thing with a splash of romance
Definitely a lot of fun and fast moving!
