4.5✨

Vivid, humorous & down right chilling. A vibrant fantasy gothic retelling of Snow White with an extremely sharp FMC on the heels of a profound mystery. Very slow burn since the beginning heavily focuses on Anja‘s journey to being fascinated with poison/plants. It picks up heavy midway and throws you right into mystery & intrigue. Not surprised that I adore another Kingfisher novel #Netgalley #arc

I finished this a month ago. And I put it as a blurb because I‘ve been thinking this whole time how to review it and I just can‘t figure it out! The title says it all. Strange things indeed. I feel like a lot passed over my head but I had to keep reading to figure out where the story was going to go. I can‘t say I‘m as enamored by Link as others seem to be, but I want to read more of her. #AuldLangSpine

JamieArc I really wish I had read this with others to talk about. Also, I really loved the Nancy Drew-ish cover. 2d
sarahbarnes I like her short stories better than her novel. I liked Get in Trouble a lot. I‘m going to add this one to my list. 2d
JamieArc @sarahbarnes Thanks for that rec. I will put it on my TBR. 2d
Billypar Get in Trouble is probably my favorite too of the three I've read @sarahbarnes (I haven't read her novel yet). Her style is very unique and dreamy @JamieArc - when I finish one of her stories, I immediately wish I could discuss it! Definitely not for everyone though. My fav from Stranger Things is the opening story, Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. 2d

The 13 Clocks | James Thurber

#CoverStories Day 21: 13 #Clock(s) tells the story of an evil duke who has murdered time (all thirteen clocks in the castle had been frozen at the same time, one snowy night, seven years before – thus it was always ten minutes to five in the castle); an enchanted princess; and a Prince disguised as a Minstrel who wishes to save the princess.

This was a fun read. It was such a good read for book nerds, who dream of being part of a fairy tale. It had such a fun and cozy vibe to it. I highly recommend it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very in character for me to read a Sleeping Beauty reimagining - the theme for February‘s #fairytalereadingchallenge at the end of March… it kept me company on the train from Canberra to Sydney. I love Alix E. Harrow and this was enjoyable BUT calling girls who love Cinderella best vanilla right at the start. Ouch! The Disney version features the art and colour palette of Mary Blair AND Gus Gus! 😐

tpixie I agree - she was a little judgy judgy! Fun read though Sleeping Beauty returns in 3d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, especially since she gave the romantic girls Beauty & the Beast 🤔 like ok? I am slowly working my way through her backlist - so I‘ll get to Mirror Mended, eventually! (edited) 3d

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, I haven‘t read that one yet - even though the paperback is sitting patiently on my bookshelf 🫣 my favourite so far 3d
tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag that‘s great also! I really enjoyed her novels. The Novelas were OK, but the novels were great. 3d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, I‘ve really enjoyed her short stories too - she has a new one out (an Amazon exclusive unfortunately) the knight and the butcherbird. 3d
tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag oh! Thanks! I‘ll look for it. 2d

Vanilla! Those are fighting words!!!

OrangeMooseReads 😄 they are indeed fightin words! Cinderella is anything but vanilla 3d
lil1inblue 😂 I think I take issue with all of the descriptions. 😂 3d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @lil1inblue, fair! (In the main characters defence, she is a dying girl so she does relate to sleeping beauty) 3d

3.5/5
Quick tale for adults with interestingly weird illustrations.
Tale of the past, tale also about the future. Well-constructed, and interesting. I enjoyed the short ride.
