My next audiobook. For the #letterZ #litsyatoz

willaful I still need Z and X. 3d
Texreader @willaful You can do it! Look for tags #letterx and #lettery for the books I‘ve read over the years. And I‘ve got plenty of suggestions lined up if you need them. Do you have any in mind? 3d
willaful I'm thinking Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow for Z. Nothing at all for X, so I'll check the tag.

A soft pick. The cheerfulness and pluckiness of the MC feels a little overdone, but beneath the frothiness of the book‘s overall tone, there is an interesting look at the plight of the women who took up work in factories while the menfolk were at war, particularly the lack of nursery provision for working mothers.

Didn‘t want to stop listening to this one! A hell of a twist at the end too!

Year of Ravens: A Novel of Boudica's Rebellion | Ruth Downie, Eliza Knight, Kate Quinn, Stephanie Dray, Simon Turney, Russell Whitfield, Vicky Alvear

5+ stars! Seven authors each write in sequence from the viewpoints of different people about Rome‘s occupation of Britain, and the attempt of a queen of one of the tribes to force them out. Queen Boudica did exist; her story was told by the Roman historians. But this book follows other characters (one per author): another queen, a slave (Boudica‘s husband‘s illegitimate daughter), a Roman tribune, a Druid, a son of an important character, ⬇️

Texreader a warrior (Boudica‘s chief military official), and Boudica‘s daughters. The story is seamless despite being written by 7 people, and the threads of the story carry through ingeniously. There are unlikeable characters, but most (more than those listed above) end up being sympathetic. This is true even for some characters one might initially dislike. This is a marvelous book. I borrowed it but will try to find a copy to buy. Highly recommended. ⬇️ 6mo
Soubhiville Wow high praise! Glad you loved it. 6mo

This book is astounding, written by 7–SEVEN-authors, about Queen Boudica‘s rebellion against Rome in Britain. Review to come. But in the Author‘s Notes, I thought it amazing that one of the authors gives so much credit to our #authoramonth Kate Quinn! I‘m so glad I read this book; it‘s a keeper (which means I‘ll have to buy a copy). I wouldn‘t have read it but for #authoramonth but I also needed it for #letterY for #litsyatoz. It‘s extraordinary.

Matthew Prince creating events in his head in times of stress reminded me so much of Jenna Hunterson from Waitress creating a new pie in her mind. 🥹 Was really sad that there wasn‘t a recipe in the book for the chai cookies with eggnog icing. I want to make them so bad. I really loved the focus on mental health in this one around anxiety. And Matthew‘s mom can get stuffed. ⬇️

#BookSpinBingo #HolidayBookDragons #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 #Adventathon #LittenListen #SnickerdoodleSprint #ReadYourKindle Star for #AVeryMerryBingo. Letter Y for #ChristmasAtoZ. Turtleneck and a bingo line for #ISpyBingo. Scrooge for #ChristmasCheer. Enemies to Lovers for #ItsATrope. Also I started this one not realizing it was book 2 in a series but I don‘t feel like I missed anything.

Sammy tries to explain Santa to a not-so-bright turkey. This is a long (relatively speaking) picture book with very simple words on each page. Probably good for a 2-3 year old
