It was a bit depressing for my tastes. It was just ok for me. Others may enjoy this book.

When your niece leaves her library books on the dining room table, you‘re obligated to read one of them while eating breakfast. Then you write a haiku about it. #haikuhive #haikuaday

A dark retelling

Absolutely fantastic version of sleeping beauty. I really love when authors take an existing fairytale and completely turn it on its head.

Nevermind the astonishing amount of cat hair. Bastet has been rolling around.

Started this with print and was really struggling to get through. I switched to audio and it was much easier to get through. The story of Isobel, a Scottish seamstress who ends up going to Salem. What I didn‘t catch from reading but came through much clearer in audio was that Isobel sees color in letters and in a time where this could get you killed. It‘s a story of perseverance and friendship. Read for #literarycrew

Librarybelle It‘s good to know that the audio is easier to get through than the print—I actually still have a little bit to read of this, and it‘s not as engaging as I had hoped it would be. 5d
Sargar114 @Librarybelle I was having the same issue, I would recommend switching then. The narrator does a Scottish brogue and it works well while she also does the male voices which I always find kind of weird. But audio was much better to get through. I ended up enjoying it overall, probably 3.5 if I‘m gonna be technical. 5d
Librarybelle Very good to know! 5d

Hi. 👋🏻

This is my new favorite song (“Tickle Me Pink” by Johnny Flynn).

He sings, “When nothing goes right and the future‘s dark as night, what you need is a sunny, sunny day.”

AMEN.

It‘s even (tangentially) book-related! I came to the music by way of writer, Robert MacFarlane.

Check it out if you like folksy stuff!

AnnCrystal 🤩🍎🎶🍏💝. 6d
