Sherwood | 
Gisborne said nothing for a time, watching her. Then he took her hand in both of his and raised it to his lips, bowing his head and lingering with all the chivalrous deliberation of a knight out of legend. “Long live Robin Hood.”

He walks to the sounds of steel and fire, and the distant wailing of a Saracen woman. His sword in his hand before he‘s on his feet. He‘d been dreaming of rain on leaves, of the sound and feel of a wet day in Sherwood.

Decided to create my own bingo challenge for May, featuring all the Hoopla and library books I currently have checked out. I hope this will motivate me to get through them while simultaneously combating my procrastination habit of mood reading and indecisiveness. I'll roll a D20 to decide what to read next.🤓
21-25 are books I'm currently reading, or have already read this month. If I get a bingo, I'm (naturally) rewarding myself with a new book!
“Long live Robin Hood.”

pickMeagan Spooner as well as the narrator on this audiobook version outdid themselves! This was exciting, full of adventure and my kind of romance. “Long live Robin Hood!” #48 #BFC22 #FAIRYTALECHALLENGE RobinHood #20in4 #Pantone2022Colour QuietShade/Amazon #Hikeathonreads #TheRoyalReadathon
pickThis was a great read. It was a very interesting retelling of the story of Robin Hood. It was very impressive to see Marian take up the mantle of Robin Hood. I would definitely read it again and again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickI know the story of Robin Hood - I think many of us do, in some form or another - so to have retold by this author, I knew I was going to be hooked.
What I didn't expect was to be crying in my bed at almost 2 am because of how much I came to care for Marian and her story.
pickSimply wonderful retelling of the Robin Hood story we all know.

Enjoyed Huntress so I had the library order this in for me.
pickWhen Robin of Locksley is killed at war his betrothed, Maiden Marian, is left floundering. Unsure of how to continue without him she throws herself into the affairs of the people and before long she finds herself becoming a figure of hope, a vigilante, and a criminal to the crown, Robin O'the Hood. A great twist on a familiar tale.
pickTHIS BOOK. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Loved it!!! I've always been a die-hard Robin Hood fan, and this is so unique and different and heart-warmingly pleasant!!! All the feels!!
so-soIt was okay. I would have liked it better if there had been more romance throughout instead of all at the end, as is it was just tedious.
My most anticipated release of this year. 😌 I'm almost 100 pages in, and it is lovely. 😍
panI am so utterly disappointed with this book. I was so excited to read a story about Marian taking up the mantle of Robin Hood that this displeasure is just sour. From the start Marian is so frustrating & makes stupid decision through out the entire book. Then that ending are you kidding me, Really Gisborne?! You have got to be joking. Also annoying having Marian be better at EVERYTHING over Robin, I have read bad retelling but this takes the cake.
panI wanted to love this book -- the premise is promising & I like Spooner's co-writes -- but by chapter 3 I was skimming just for dialogue. It's overly wordy and easily could be half the length. Then there's the last 100 pages that take an unexpected turn, which I somewhat respect for the surprise factor alone but not at all for the content. It just felt icky. Definitely disappointed with this one. #ya #bookclub
So I started this two weeks ago and then put it down, I finally got back to it.. I‘m just not feeling this retelling. I don‘t like the type of personality written for Marian, and I hate all the “oh woe is me, my love is dead” and all the remarks about how being a lady can be so tragic with no man to tend her. and all the stupid decisions Marian keeps making, like...gahhh this isn‘t the Marian I know and I love. This is just frustrating to read.
Starting a new YA book, pretending like there is no grading. 😊
Got my hold in from the library on Saturday and i am so excited to read this! I love the tale of Robin Hood and this is a retelling where Maid Marian becomes Robin Hood and I really hope it‘s good! I have been patiently waiting for its release!
#currentlyreading and listening to Sherwood by Meagan Spooner. A feminist retelling of Robin Hood.
#BookMail from the past week. 😍
#bookhaul from BN's online spring sale 📚
pickI loved this book. Robin Hood is dead. Maid Marian doesn't know how she is going to go on but she knows she doesn't like the way the people of Locksley are being treated by the Sheriff of Notthingham. So she decides she is going to take the matter into her own hands and protect the towns people on her own. She was a kick ass hero! Can't wait to read what Spooner comes up with next!
pickMy review of SHERWOOD is on Roots & Read today!
This was a great re-telling of Robin Hood with Maid Marian as the hero.

“A lively adventure featuring a lionhearted heroine... plenty of appeal for readers of Tamora Pierce‘s Protector of the Small quartet.” New York Times bestselling author Meagan Spooner‘s next fierce fairy tale-inspired story...
I was intrigued by this book when I received an ARC but I'm surprised at how much I'm loving it!
A giveaway on Goodreads, for my most anticipated book being released this year!! (Okay, so the odds aren't great, but a girl's gotta try!! 😜) #goodreadsgiveaway
