Shadow Spinner
Shadow Spinner | Susan Fletcher
5 posts | 12 read | 3 to read
Every night, Shahrazad begins a story. And every morning, the Sultan lets her live another day -- providing the story is interesting enough to capture his attention. After almost one thousand nights, Shahrazad is running out of tales. And that is how Marjan's story begins.... It falls to Marjan to help Shahrazad find new stories -- ones the Sultan has never heard before. To do that, the girl is forced to undertake a dangerous and forbidden mission: sneak from the harem and travel the city, pulling tales from strangers and bringing them back to Shahrazad. But as she searches the city, a wonderful thing happens. From a quiet spinner of tales, Marjan suddenly becomes the center of a more surprising story than she ever could have imagined.

I love Spin Day!!!!! @TheAromaofBooks Thank you for giving me something exciting to wake up to! Looks like this is shaping up into a month of rereading for me since #Doublespin is a group read, and I‘m joining #hashtagbrigade for Dracula which is an old favorite, and #Bookspin is a seasonal mood read and I recently picked up a copy of The Turn of the Screw, another old favorite, with this amazing pulp cover so it feels like fate to reach for that.

DGRachel That Tor cover of The Turn of the Screw is AMAZING! 😂 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Enjoy!! 1mo

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is NINE! Our official #DoubleSpin number is FOUR!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone‘s lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) everyone/keep track of who wants to bingo and who doesn‘t!!

I use the same tag list for the entire year, so if you would like to be added or removed, please just let me know. It takes me a while to tag everyone (there are over 200 of you!!!) so I will add “FINISHED” to the last tag batch so you know whether or not I missed you. If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong. ⬇

Shadow Spinner is a wonderful tale that I return to time after time for it reminds me of three wonderful truths:
1). There is magic in story telling.
2). Friendships can come when you least expect it.
3). Love and forgive, for everyone faces their own demons.

A wonderful rendition of a tale spun from Arabian Nights!

Reading this book with a student. It was a little slow to start, but now I‘m getting into it
