Thank you @Eggs for creating this fun play-card and Thank You, @kspenmoll @dabbe & @TheSpineView for the tags 😘📚💝💖💝💖.

#WondrousWednesday

1- I was going to give an answer about my everyday loves...yet, I've strangely been weighing a version of this question for awhile now.

👇

AnnCrystal I mean, on a less personal level.

I've been contemplating patterns, cause and effect on a micro level, and purpose.

Alway been fascinated by the ripple effect, and about how every single one of us participate every single day.

Knowingly or unknowingly, locally or globally, the tiniest of actions can build into something incredible.

The simple act of living and existing matters even on those days that feel humdrum.

1- The Mud Pony by Caron Lee Cohen. To this day, it remains a favorite.

2- I have a strange connection with Bruce Wayne. I don't know why, I just understand his character. I would have said Batman in the past, but it is Bruce Wayne's Batman that I understand.

👇

AnnCrystal Of course, right now, Batman has become impossible for me...due to reality being so vary Gotham-like.

3- The Half King by Melissa Landers. five🌟. This book was surprising. I began it believing it was going to be a Beauty & The Beast infused love story...it was something else entirely. A storyline of a woman finding her power in a male controlled world.

Pickpick

I read the bulk of this during March, which turned out to be a perfect read for Women's History Month!

While this is fantasy fiction, it draws from real-life women inequality issues across society, religious orders, and political structures.

When I first began this book, I expected a “Beauty and the Beast with gothic undertones“. This is more “medieval, cursed king finds his sorceress“.

I very nearly bailed at the very beginning...

due to a scene of animal cruelty.

AnnCrystal Since this book had been a gift for my birthday, I gave it one more try...and I am very glad.

I don't know why this began with such a terrible scene...perhaps to make readers worried for Blue (FMC Cerise's dog) once he is gifted to her by the king. I know I was freaked out worried for Blue throughout the whole book...

AnnCrystal There was a little Beauty and the Beast at the beginning, but it quickly became it's own unique story that became better and better with each chapter. I didn't like the king at first, then I began to adore him right along with Cerise.

This book turned out to be a genuine gem that I absolutely loved. Those last scenes where dynamite 📚💝.
