The Princess Knight | Cait Jacobs

This book was so much fun!

A medieval retelling of Legally Blonde was something I never knew I needed! I‘m a huge Legally Blonde fan but I never realized that it could be retold in such a unique way. As a retelling, it worked very well. The original characters were translated very well. Clía, the female lead, definitely gave Elle Woods vibes.

This was a cute witchy romance!

The premise is super fun. It‘s about two witches who fall in love during a spell casting reality show competition. The competition parts were very entertaining to read.

The romance aspect worked very well. The two leads, Penelope and Gil, made a great couple. I loved their dynamic and their chemistry.

This was such a cute fall romance!

So many people have read this book, so when I saw it TJ Maxx (for a great price) I knew it was time to give it a shot. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This book was loaded with fall vibes! It gave me all the autumn feels while reading it.

The romance was super sweet but basic.

This was an insightful look into the creation of Frankenstein!

I read Frankenstein earlier this year and loved it, so naturally I had to read this book. I was impressed that Mary Shelley wrote a masterpiece at age 19.

The best part of the book was the depiction of female rage. Mary‘s rage starts off quietly and then slowly simmers into an inferno.

IriDas I hadn‘t heard of this book. I studied Frankenstein multiple times in uni (English major) and was never satisfied with my professor‘s portrayal of Mary. They always made her sound like some frivolous little girl and brushed me off when I questioned her relationship with Percy (I‘m not a fan lol). 2w
oddandbookish @IriDas She‘s definitely not a frivolous little girl in this one! Her relationship with Percy is portrayed as incredibly complicated. 2w

What a fun book!

This is not your traditional murder mystery book since it‘s not written in a novel format. Instead, you are given all the pieces to solve the mystery yourself. These included pictures, interview transcripts, notes, maps, newspaper articles, etc.

This book had a great premise, but the execution was lackluster.

I will say the book is relatable. As a 30 year old who survived my 20s, I did relate to some of the feelings and experiences the author wrote about.

My main issue with this book is that the essays are way too long. They could have easily been trimmed down to half their length.

Wow! What a powerful memoir!

As an Asian American female, I was super intrigued by the premise of this memoir. It did not disappoint!

The memoir is told through a series of essays, which worked so well. Each essay was well crafted and blended personal experience with research. It dove deep into how Asian women have been fetishized throughout history and the media.

This was a great start to the series!

Going into this, I knew nothing about the comic or the danmei novel it was based on. I went into it blind.

First off, the art is absolutely stunning! Since I had an ARC, the majority of the book was in black and white. However, there were some pages in the beginning that were in full color.

This was an interesting middle grade look into America during the Vietnam War.

First off, I did like that it took place during the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War is not often depicted in books, especially middle grade ones, so it was refreshing to see. I also loved the setting of San Diego. I used to live there so it holds a special place in my heart.
