Movie: Anastasia

Touted as a YA HF novel, I think it‘s more MG level, Scholastic book. Told from POV of Anastasia, these are diary entries which detail the story of Czar Nicholas and his family.

took me over a decade but I finally have all of the #royaldiary books

I was hoping this was about the woman warrior in the tagged book, but it may be just as good. Good timing for #readingafrica2022

Based on the life of a real warrior queen, Nzingha fought the Portuguese over kidnapping her people to be slaves in #Angola. Brilliant idea and artwork, but the story wasn‘t executed as well. It felt more like an origjn story. The part about her being a warrior was so inconsequential at the end wrapping up most of her life in a catchall sentence or two. Most of the book is about her childhood, which was that she was the daughter of a wise king, ⬇️

The artwork in this ebook is gorgeous but I thought this image was particularly phenomenal. #Angola #readingafrica2022 @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle

Two of the 3 books I‘m reading right now are pretty depressing. So I thought I‘d throw this one into the mix. Since it starts with a kidnapping I‘m not sure whether this will just bring me down even more. But the illustrations are marvelous. So I‘ll cross my fingers and hope it‘s a lighter read (especially since it‘s a kid‘s book). #Angola #readingafrica2022 @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB
