The Raider Bride | Johanna Wittenberg
post image

I had The Raider Bride as my top read for the last 6 months initially but decided to wait a couple of days and think on it. So as you can see Jane won out again! 🥰 I can‘t go past how I had all the feelings whilst reading this book. 💕
The Norsewomen Series - The Raider Bride is the 3rd in the series - is so fantastic that I‘d put money on there being another one of the series on here shortly. 💕
Thanks for the graphic @chasjjlee 😊

1. Tagged - I haven‘t read this author‘s most recent book as I didn‘t like Nine Perfect Strangers but I remember liking this older one.
2. Has to be lemon tart with a strong skinny flat white 😊
Thanks for the tag @Deblovestoread 😊

A fun read, wildly unrealistic (no pun intended 😏) but still enjoyable.

I don‘t read horror - which for me this is - but after reading this author‘s nuns in space novellas I thought I‘d give it a go.
Sarah has a checkered past that forced her to leave the country and start a new life in 1600s London. Mrs June takes her in as a midwife‘s apprentice - she sees in her what Sarah has tried to hide - her power.
Pretty gruesome in parts but if you like horror it could be a pick.

This week at work is really doing my head in! Bring on the long weekend!!!
This book was perfect for the sort of week I‘ve been having - fun, spicy and very readable. 😊
It took an age for the hold to come into the library, so long I can‘t now remember who recommended it - if it was you - thankyou! 😊

I Must Betray You | Ruta Sepetys

Pickpick

Two YA historical fiction books both set in periods of history I don‘t know much about. IMBY was my favourite out of the two. Ruta Sepetys is a fast becoming a must read author for me.

#bookspin - for once read the book early in the month! 😊

I nearly forgot to post about this book, which probably says it all.
Covering the undoubtedly important and horrific topic of forced sterilisation in the US in the 1970s I found that the way the book was written didn‘t do anything for me.

azulaco That‘s a shame about the writing. It‘s such a potent subject. A well-written book could be devastatingly good. 11mo
Cinfhen TOTALLY AGREE with your review 11mo

You‘ll always find something wilder at the Eurovision Song Contest!
I have a whole playlist of songs that I‘ve loved over the years. My fave from this year was Gustaph‘s Because Of You 💕- see image 😊

BarbaraBB Eurovision is definitely a guilty pleasure 😀😀 11mo
Cinfhen Yesssssss!!! Eurovision defines #GuiltyPleasure and I thought this “act” was hilarious - great choice 11mo

Have read up to chapter 16 so I‘m ready for the first #camplitsy23 discussion!
Initial thought in comments 😏

Books_et_al Must say I‘m not loving it so far. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 11mo
CarolynM I didn‘t like it all to start with, but it did improve a bit, still only a so-so from me. There‘s lots to discuss, though, so it‘s good from that perspective🙂 11mo
BarbaraBB Second half is better I think. Discussion will be great though, I‘m pretty sure! @CarolynM 11mo

Megabooks Great! @BarbaraBB is managing the CL tag list. Sorry you can‘t get to your old handle, but I‘m glad you found a workaround! 11mo
CarolynM Weird! Also annoying to have lost your old posts and book lists. Maybe it‘s a glitch that will work itself out🤞 11mo
Books_et_al @CarolynM it is annoying but maybe as you say it‘ll fix itself 😊 11mo

BarbaraBB I‘ll follow you of course and will change your names in the tag lists of both #CampLitsy23 as well as #TitlesAndTunes! 11mo
Books_et_al @BarbaraBB thanks Barbara 😊 11mo
squirrelbrain Oh no, that‘s annoying. 😬 Following you now. 11mo
AllDebooks Done x 11mo
batsy Oh dear, that's inconvenient! I think Litsy has become a bit of a forgotten app in terms of development or even maintenance. 11mo
TheAromaofBooks I just got a new phone and went to download the Litsy app... and literally can't find it??? I do most of my stuff from my computer, but love using the app to post book reviews because it's easier to take a picture. So all that to say... no idea what's going on with Litsy these days 😂 Glad you made it back, though - I updated your username on my BookSpin list!! 11mo
Books_et_al @TheAromaofBooks it is the weirdest thing but it looks like all posts under my previous name have vanished too! Thanks for updating your list. 😊 (edited) 11mo
Books_et_al @AllDebooks thanks 😊 11mo
TheAromaofBooks I will say that when I click on your old username, it does take me to your account and I can see all your posts!! So you haven't disappeared completely! 😂 11mo
Books_et_al @TheAromaofBooks that‘s good to know! 😆 11mo
PaperbackPirate I‘m sorry that happened to you. How frustrating! 💙 11mo
Cinfhen Oh no!!! Soooo frustrating!! Of course I‘ll update my lists and happy you tagged me xx 11mo
MrsMalaprop I had that problem which ended up being fixed by logging out and back in. 11mo
Books_et_al @MrsMalaprop no such luck for me unfortunately- anyway fresh start 😊 11mo
