All my purchases and free stuff I got at the huge #Bookfair in Leipzig this Saturday! Spot the cute Fourth Wing booksleeve and the cute pink one with the reading woman 😍✨.
pickNovella about an Icelandic trader who travels to Mongolia in the 8th century and returns with a herd of horses led by a white mare.
A fascinating story and great fun exploring the people and places referred to.
panUnpopular opinion: This was just annoying, none of it makes any sense and the romance happens on an insta love basis. MC is so unlikable, most of the motivations of any given character don't add up and all of the plot could have been avoided by people talking to each other. Also I found the plot twists very predictable. The confusing historical background was a bit hard to follow.
But came across the first flowers while listening😍
pickI stalled in reading this because of personal stuff, but today seemed like the right day to get back to it. I read 150 pages of it in two big gulps, as usual with these books. It feels like a good place to leave the series, though I'm actually not sure if it's meant as a conclusion or not.
It was my #DoubleSpin book, though it still leaves me in search of a #BookSpinBingo. I really am not doing it on purpose this time...!

Thanks for the tag! So happy you are back.
1) snowflakes, they usually started to bloom around my birthday (end of March) where I grew up
2) tagged - the UK edition
pickI thought Emily's conviction that Faerie is structured not just on rules and traditions but on stories to be a fascinating idea. It's also interesting to see her have to defer to Wendell for once, as this is his realm and his family they are dealing with.
Looking forward to seeing more of these characters, and curious as to where Fawcett will go now that she's covered encyclopedias, maps, and story compilations!
