pickI was thinking this was going to be akin to Madeline Miller‘s style of Greek myth retelling, but it was an analytical history lesson about women getting the shaft while their male peers are glorified over and over for the same or worse behaviors. A fascinating, scholarly, and at times comedic look at 10 women who deserve another portrayal than what history gave them. Book #63 in 2024
pickA fun mystery, but *trigger warning* a young child is kidnapped. This is a multi-POV thriller and fortunately one POV is the child, so just know he will be okay. There were so many POVs that switched often and a very convoluted plot. Definitely an interesting but altogether easy read if you keep an open mind and blindly follow crazytown. Book #63 in 2023

4/5
There are a few genuine surprises throughout this one. Also notable is the theme of survival: when given the choice, who do you save? The storyline may be a teensy bit contrived, but it's worth it for the entertainment factor.
pick#63 was kind of boring filler, but as expected, Saga bounces right back. Lots more trouble for the kids, baddies still on the hunt, and a mom just trying to survive. The only thing that vexed me is this issue has more Esperanto than they‘ve used in a while and having to read with Google Translate is annoying.
I am super busy at the moment but wanted to get this out early again. So no pretty dice this month but my Dwarven cleric who hasn‘t decided which god to follow and licks stone to determine its age has rolled for Novembers #roll100
Roll 1 = 63
Roll 2 = 92
Roll 3 = 25
Tag me at @puddlejumper so I can snoop on everyone's reading
panVery gripping!!! This was a smart, creepy, and so well written. I cannot believe the twists…I didn‘t see THEM coming!!!! Reminded me of Lucy Foley‘s ‘The Guest List‘. Book #63 in 2022
