Daughter of Sparta | Claire Andrews

Just finished last night. A retelling of the Daphne story she is a powerful female MC who is not swayed by the charms of Apollo, not intimidated by the seemingly insurmountable task of saving Olympus and not phased by the mistrust thrown her way for being an outsider in Sparta. Fast paced, emotional, and a satisfying character journey. #recentlyread #nospoilers #retelling #recommendsday

What Kind of Paradise | Janelle Brown

I actually finished this book shortly after posting the quote from it. 🙃 The story of her growth stayed with me. Discovering such a thing about her father, relearning herself, the advent of the internet 🛜 and the place it has in our world. A fascinating narrative of intrigue and suspense. Growth stories are a favorite and this is definitely one of those. I also liked the historical information. #recentlyread #nospoilers #bookofthemonth

This book did not take me long to finish, because once started I couldn‘t put it down. I did not expect to feel so invested in this story but Melanie and Wanda touched my heart. The survival, the questions about humanity, the reactions and the love. The ending left me with a contented sigh. More like this, please. #recentlyread #nospoilers #dystopian #fantasy 💙

The Orphanage by the Lake | Daniel G. Miller

April 11, 2025 Omg I am screaming inside but I could not have asked for a better ending. I feel like in a lot of books I read (e.g. thrillers), the author chooses to save the main character rather than let the main character die or get killed. In thrillers, I also find that the main character is fighting for their life and being deceived by a lover or a friend that eventually turns out to be an enemy. She survives... 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #nospoilers

This book is one of the most interesting worlds I have ever encountered, but after my 🧠 made sense of the weirdness I was able to thoroughly enjoy it and understand the premise. The number of books in this collection is daunting to say the least, but it is an intriguing beginning and I am thankful I gave it a shot. I want to find out more about the main characters! #recentlyread #fantasy #discworld #readonkindle #nospoilers

Catching up on reviews. The ending was a twist I did not see coming (🎩💁🏻‍♀️) and the relationship between the MCs is just my favorite. Talk about an unlikely criminal. And the satisfaction of the solution! I am looking forward to the next installment! #nospoilers #recentlyread #mystery #cormoranandrobin

It has taken me time to put together my thoughts after finishing this saga. The love I feel for these characters and the heartbreak/joy I experience when they live their lives is a testament to the authors ability to weave a compelling narrative. The pulse throbbing worry I get at the most intense passages will always be a fond memory. Definitely worth the time spent. And that last line… #nospoilers #recentlyread #outlander #historicalfiction 😳🥺

“I know exactly who and what you are, Violet Sorrengail.” -Tairn 🖤🐉

Who she is = a badass who deals with pain on a daily, willing to stand by her man, be worthy of her dragons and save the whole continent in the process.
This series lives rent free in my heart now!

I was reading my chapter for tomorrow & realized there was only one more so I went ahead and finished. What. An. Ending. So thankful to @BarkingMadRead for leading the #hashtagbrigade and pointing me in the direction of books I probably wouldn‘t pick up on my own & creating a community to share them with. There was so much yelling, swearing, absolute fury from me for some of these characters #bellingshit will not be forgotten #dontthrowthekindle

Cuilin Perfect review!!! 12mo
