Between | L. L. Starling

pick

In search of another cozy-type fantasy w/humor and light romance, I came upon this. Since it was on Kindle Unlimited, I didn't realize it was over 1,000 pages until I started. It has great reviews, rated high. I thought it was more acceptable to read 1 big book than 5 (like a lot of series are nowadays.) But it didn't get to the part I wanted! I wanted so much to see Sasha in Between and see how Lorn and her figure things out! Still enjoyable. 4⭐

ItsAnotherJen **The main character is not a teenager, she is 30. I wanted to point that out to anyone else not wanting another book with such young characters. 😬 1d

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West | Gregory Maguire

A complex #LoveHatePairing of Elphaba and Glinda. Loved being able to take my older granddaughters to see Wicked on Broadway when each was a Senior in high school. Loved Part One of the movie version, too. May never read the book, though.

Collected Folk Tales | Alan Garner

so-so

I've had this on my TBR for so long I had almost given up hope that I would get to read it, but the library had a copy!!!!

I liked the range of folk tales from around the world, although a lot are from Great Britain, overall it was a good mix of different countries which is nice to read but I only ended up enjoying a handful of tales.

LoverOfLearning Such a fun reading challenge. Too bad you didn't enjoy this book as much as you hoped 4d

mariaku21 @LoverOfLearning me too. I was hoping to like more stories but I do love that so many are of different countries. 2d

The Children's Book | A. S. Byatt

pick

This was my January book. It‘s a chunk and it‘s slow, and has a massive amount of research (which Byatt said was rewarding). The book takes English children of the 1870‘s, born into the liberal artistic intellectual world of the Fabian Society, and carries us with them through WWI, after which they are clearly no longer children. I adored this massive thing and its vast spread across 50 characters. I read it with a Booker group on fb.
