#Readaway2024 #FabulousFebruary #20in4 #readathon #HyggeHourReadathon

Spent my #Naturalitsy #HyggeHour reading this novella, a Sleeping Beauty in reverse story where the heroine, Toadling is a human princess but because she was stolen away & replaced with a changeling & raised in the waters of faerieland, she has magic & can change into a toad.🐸 It‘s a quick & sweet read & I enjoyed it.

Accompanying my reading is a pineapple juice bar ⬇️

DebinHawaii … because pineapple juice has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe an irritated or sore throat & bromelain in it can help break down mucus and reduce congestion and inflammation. (Yep, feeling somewhat better but still not 100%) 🤧These whole fruit bars are more fun than drinking the juice. Heading off to bed as it‘s going to be a long & busy work week. 😬 (edited) 1mo

Let‘s turn the tale of Sleeping Beauty on its head!
With a main character (who can turn into a toad) and her mild magic and a kind knight wondering what the thornhedge is hiding, see why the story isn‘t what you always thought—learn why Toadling the changeling is protecting the world FROM the sleeping girl in the tower…
And yes, @rubyslippersreads - you would like this!
For anyone who likes a fairy tale retelling, this novella is a treat. 🐸

LiteraryinLawrence Oooh, cool premise! 1mo

An unassuming, but wonderful MG gem. This book is a “peculiar” mix of genres, combining a little bit of mystery, steampunk, and dark fairy tale. I think it works well, and the stakes feel important. You‘re not dealing with your average cute, Disney faeries. Will definitely be picking up the second book in the duology.

The story lacked any depth and it was a struggle to get through.

📚Currently reading:

📕The Goblin Emperor - A chapter a day.
📕A Storm of Swords - A chapter a day
📙Lord of The Necropolis - Reading before bed.
📙 Thornhedge - Every weekday
🎧Night of the Hunter - From time to time.

Progress:

Overall it was a very good week for reading, I was minimally distracted and even made progress in NotH and TGE.

I started Thornhedge but so far it's not gripping me, but I will finish it this week.

Doppoetry The only reason I picked up Thornhedge was because it was short, and I was a bit behind on my reading challenge. And I was also recommended this author, but so far I am not feeling it at all. (edited) 2mo

I'm not a theologist by any means but this statement doesn't seem correct. (this character is Muslim, for context)

Doppoetry He did say he's not very devout, but this whole passage just puzzles me 2mo

I'm trying to keep an open mind still but this doesn't feel like it's intended for an adult audience. The writing comes off as too juvenile. It irks me that the author writes as if the reader is stupid as well.

Like, yes MC he DIDN'T leave. You don't have to reiterate the point every five minutes as if I, as a reader am too stupid to follow. (because there are also still 90 pages left but that's beside the point.)

A delightful quick read. This is a dark new version of the Sleeping Beauty tale, but it is very different and I really liked it. Not surprising as T. Kingfisher rarely lets me down. If anything, I could have had more of this story. 4.5⭐️

Purpleness What a beautiful cover, too! 2mo
BookishMadHatter I'd want this book just for that cover 😍 2mo

Nessavamusic The UK edition! 2mo
elkeOriginal Nice cover! 1mo

I liked the story, but I don't like Kingfisher's writing style. It reads jarringly for me. Don't know how to explain it.

The cover on the left is 😍, but my eBook had the one on the right.

Another #AuldLangSpine book from @rachelsbrittain's list. Yes, I know, I'm flying through the list. I'm trying to make the best of the days before the regular life starts again.

Deifio Is this a Rapunzel retelling? 3mo
Laughterhp I like that cover on the left way more! My audiobook cover was the one on the right as well! 3mo
julesG @Deifio More of a Dornröschen/Sleeping Beauty retelling, but with a really interesting twist. 3mo
Deifio Ah okay, the hedge part in the title, yeah 🙈...Thanks, my hubby loves T.Kingfisher, that's why I asked 3mo
