pickLOVED IT. I was worried because I thought this would be related to Cinderella is Dead, which wasn‘t totally for me… but it wasn‘t and the fairytale references & imagery were elaborate & fun. I loved the characters, it was so good!
pick‘An innocent young girl... a noble youth obsessed with her beauty... and a mother who will do anything to keep them apart...‘
This was an excellent version of Rapunzel. Highly recommend to fairytale lovers.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had fun tracking my #Bookspin books with this graphic this year. I skipped October because of the hurricane. #Bookspin continues to be my favorite challenge. I always look forward to the drawings on the second of the month. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks !
pickThis was good, but lacked some character development - expected with a more YA style of writing.
Mina must navigate being a stepmother to a girl whose father wants a copy of the dead wife he loves and Lynette must learn to be who she is while both must battle other‘s expectations and dark magic.
3/5 Read for a tale of family trauma and family you build with light amounts of magic
so-soThis is the mythical retelling of the Queen of the Gods, Hera. I really wanted to like it, and the beginning and very end were good but the middle drug. It felt like the longest book, but it was actually under 400 pages.

repost for @PuddleJumper:
January's author is Malinda Lo!
I've read and enjoyed some of her YA/retelling books. I enjoyed Huntress and Ash. Anyone else have any recommendations? Drop them below
I'm going to #QueerBC May-May so I'll refresh the author list then and I'll do some feedback stuff March/April to see how to improve it
