Kiddo‘s Christmas #bookhaul (plus four yesterday for jolabokaflod, plus another six or so over the last month for the book advent calendar…). The tagged book is the blue one near the bottom. Oh, and a massive haul in B&N gift cards. What do they say about apples and trees?
pickI enjoy the author‘s descriptions of clothing very much, and I think that the realistic depiction of the time period is detailed enough to be realistic but not so detailed that it‘s gross.
A selfish prince, a conniving queen, princesses under a spell and a sorceress trying to determine who and what she will be, must find their way out of a sorcerer‘s plan.
5/5 read if you like fairy tale retellings and want a twist to a ballet tale
so-soI finished my second to last semester on a stressful note, but it is over and I‘m now working before I go to Great Britain for a study abroad. I finally got over my long everything-book-related slump with this audiobook. It was ok, I didn‘t know it was Christian fiction which usually isn‘t my thing. I was more annoyed with Odette and Jorgen‘s insta-love and their perfect, can do nothing wrong character type. The ending was pretty ridiculous too.
bailedI‘m just so bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😴😴😴😴😴🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
so-soThis book was not quite what I expected. I imagined Odette as having more of the qualities of the original Robin Hood. I also found the writing style disappointing and all the turns of events perhaps a little bit too convenient. Not a bad book by any means, but not an excellent one either.
so-soOkay so this was great EXCEPT for the fact that the hero is a rapey dbag with a half hearted redemption arc. I loved so much about Odile and her journey but Siegfried was awful. This was my #BookSpin pick for July.

I had a really slow reading week and only managed to finish one book. It was a great one though. I've read more this first half of this year than I have in entire previous years so I guess a slowdown was inevitable.

Hopefully I can get more reading done this week and work on my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin before heading into my two #CalibreRoulette picks.
