pickA highly fictionalized account of Madame Tussaud‘s life including an interesting take on the French Revolution. The writing style was interesting. It felt like reading a fable. The author is a playwright and YA author so that‘s likely why. Interesting characters, including some villains and a lot of people that are neither good nor bad. I recommend for anyone interested in wax figures, the French Revolution or just looking for something quirky.
so-soIt was okay, mostly sad actually. At times read more historical than fiction. Follows the life of Sophie and her family during the French Revolution and the glass-blowing houses she grew up in.

They're definitely rather same-y, which is why they're fun to read about once every couple of months 😂 This one was a little slow on action and a little long on everyone contemplating potential action, but I still enjoy the absolutely ridiculous melodrama. Published 1908. If you're looking for some fist-shaking villains and a hero who would rather die with honor ⬇
pickAfter a job change and having my reading be primarily related to a nutrition certification I was finishing up, I am finally back to reading for fun. Reading this on serial reader was the perfect way to get back to reading.
It kept me engaged and although I suspected some things might occur, it still kept me guessing which I love in a book.
