Finally, holidays are over and quiet has descended on the house. Ready to read! Great start to this mystery with “Your future contains dry bones”. I am all in!

In fairy tales, when a witch tells you your fate, you listen.

Sweet romance. Would be a perfectly good “beach read”. Didn‘t sweep me away…

Set in Spain during the Inquisition, this is a story about a scullery maid with some small magical abilities. In a desperate effort to improve her life, she allows herself to be swept up in the politics of ambitious men and women who attempt to improve their social positions by exploiting her. She finds unexpected friends, a dark and tortured soul to fall in love with (who can‘t resist that?), and discovers the depths of her magic. Fun read.

Sweet, coming of age story about escorting two giraffes across the country during the Great Depression. Based on a true event, this book provides a small glimpse of life at that time and is a nice read for animal lovers.
