Books are like wine--the best people have full cellars

I'm on chapter 3, but it feels slow-going so far. Does it get better? So far, I'm getting a lot of information, but all I've learned about the story is that our main character hates the main boy that's been introduced. Will this be a story that ends up on my DNF list?

GondorGirl There was a lot of info dumping in the very beginning, but once the MC starts interacting with the other characters the plot really gets going. I ended up really loving the book and am excited the second book comes out soon. 3y

Heart-breaking (!) and tender telling of the giantess/witch Angrboda as she tells her story, away from the Norse gods that only wish to use her and revile her.

After a long reading slump brought on by depression (damned beast), I have finally read again, and I cannot imagine a better novel by which I could enjoy reading again!

Mystery, history, murder, and poetry--how can there be a better combination?

I, personally, just didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would--Nordic myth type stories are usually up my alley. I finished it, but I don't think I'll be reading the next book whenever it's released.

Starting this book! I was giddy to see that it starts with a quote from Edith Hamilton about the myth of Persephone🌺, one of my favorites 😊

ETA: Is anyone else supposed to be folding laundry 🧦 at the moment 😇 ?

I would rate this 4 out of 5 pages, so don't let the so-so rating put you off--it just wasn't 'Pick' (5/5).

This is a gripping story of witches in 17th-century England on the surface, but is more Handmaid's Tale that actually existed. One follows the main character, Fleetwood Shuttleworth, through her journey navigating this world with a tight grip on the book, hoping she is not consumed by it--when all she wants is a baby and autonomy.

Reading Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstances and loving every page! I love honest, naive characters, and Weyland Grey is the perfect picture of one!

Excuse the Kleenex box--allergy season has been rough 🤧🥴😷
