Light pick. This retelling of Cinderella combines folk/fairy tales from different cultures, and I enjoyed reading the intro from this 10th anniversary edition to hear the reasons for Lo‘s decisions on the structure of the novel. I didn‘t quite click with the writing style, but the last few chapters flew by for me, so worthy of a pick rating. #SundayBuddyRead #LitsyAToZ #LetterA #52BookClub25 #AFairyTaleRetelling

A history of the city of Alexandria, from its conception by Alexander the Great in 331BC to the Arab Spring of the early 2010s. As I have a fondness for ancient history, I found the early chapters most interesting. I felt a bit bogged down with various invasions and a little depressed at the recent “islamification” that has cost the city much of its multiculturalism.

Random House started out by acquiring The Modern Library, so it seems appropriate to picture this memoir alongside my ML collection. I enjoyed Cerf‘s meandering reminiscences and the advantage of knowing which of his authors is still read and which not doesn‘t detract a bit. His humor isn‘t mean, even when “telling tales” on famous people, and it was a dose of lightheartedness I very much needed. And #letterA for #LitsyAtoZ & #doublrspin.

I needed more humor and less thriller, so reading my #doublespin before my #bookspin this month. Also #letterA for #LitsyAtoZ. @TheAromaofBooks @Texreader

This book was a lot of fun and my first book complete for #AuldLangSpine I think it‘s a good fit for people like me who often feel intimidated by the fantasy genre. This story was just so easy to get into. I didn‘t love that it ends on a cliffhanger but I feel like I am invested and will be continuing the series for #SerieLove2025 also I need more Kingsley 🤭🐸👑 #LitsyAtoZ #LetterA
