I know I'm way behind the times but I'm glad I'm finally reading this book #preach

And I Darken | Kiersten White

Absolutely gnashing my teeth to get ahold of this! An alternate history starring a lady Vlad ÈšepeÈ™? Sign me the heck up. June 28 can't come quickly enough!

Speaking of Little House... this is an absolute gem, with dense annotations and really insightful commentary on the tension between history and fiction in Ingalls Wilder's writing. A healthy dose of reality for those who, like me, grew up with her books. Highly recommended.

WilliamMorrowBooks You should check out Caroline by Sarah Miller! Comes out in September and fantastic for Laura Ingalls fans 🙌 7y

Today's book haul from Value Village. Gotta say I'm most excited for The Ghost in the Little House--what a find!

Good grief, how excited am I for this new take on the Goblin King? Methinks it's time for a Labyrinth rewatch.

Count Vronsky's Daughter | Carola Salisbury

Such a massive disappointment. And it would have been a perfectly fine if undistinguished piece of historical fluff if not for the author's ham-handed decision to make it an Anna Karenina sequel... It completely lacks the complexity and thematic sophistication of the original. Just BLAH.

We Took to the Woods | Louise Dickinson Rich

Finished this today and was charmed to death by it, and immediately ordered a used copy to send to my ma, since it's just her flavour of off-beat memoir, and she'll empathize with the country-living aspect. I don't know that I'll pick up the rest of Rich's oeuvre but this is a lovely hidden gem.
