pickMy favorite of Saints' books so far. Really a fabulous read.
pickSomehow I“ve never read this before and I really loved it. Will definitely be seeking out the rest of the series.
so-soIt was good, but there are so many better middle grade novels out there

pickA must read. Tragic. Magnificently written. Will definitely be seeking out other books by Barnhill.

Book 1/14 done! Loved this book the first time i read it, but needed to reread before continuing the arc...
pickYet again, I've finished reading this book. Yet again, I'm utterly enchanted by it. Yet again, I'm not really certain what it's about. But it's beautiful. And I'll continue to ponder the story for a long time to come....
#20in4 @Andrew65 Finished my fourth partially-read book this weekend. Decided to read the last chapter rather than listen to the audiobook (hence it taking much less than two hours to get through).
pickA very interesting read, especially for those looking to prioritize adding native plants to their land.
#20in4 @Andrew65 I thought I had a lot more left to read in this book, than I actually did. So will probably finish up my last book (only two hours of audio left) and then the exciting decision of “what to read next!“
Oh my goodness, it's beautifully written, but all these characters belong on the Jerry Springer show.... 😬😅
pickA really lovely book. Rambles a little, but really lovely

I love how the author wrote the opening chapter in such a way that i don't have to wrack my brain trying to remember where the last book left off. She doesn't summarize book 1, but definitely reminds you of where you are in the story
pickA very interesting read. Had been completely unfamiliar with Lenape folktales, previously
pickAs a child, I read and loved I Am Mordred. This book only hit my radar a few years ago and I'm so glad i took the time to read it. It's another lovely, feminist Arthurian retelling.

Confession: I bought this book knowing nothing about it other than the fact that I adore the author.
Like any Cat Valente book, the writing is MAGNIFICENT, but this plot isn't for me. At all.
pickVery interesting after just finishing Kaikeyi. A beautiful coming-of-age story. Heartbreak. Beauty. Love. Acceptance. Strength. Divinity.
panTwo stars simply because i enjoy sarcastic characters. Otherwise, very much not a fan. I'm counting this for my July#bookspinbingo board @TheAromaofBooks. It's no. 2 on my list for this month
pickAll these reviews are well -deserved. The book was incredible!
pickA fun, refreshing read, but not nearly as brilliant as A Spindle Splintered
pickAnother lovely Marillier novel. Looking forward to finishing the trilogy
bailedAfter being very disappointed by my last read, I'll call it quits on page two. Not in the mood for something that seems so promisingly depressing
Bingo... 🙄 #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks
panPart of me adored this book. Part of me felt like I was reading some sub-par BBC Merlin fanfic. There is so much perfection in this book. Then lines that don't fit. A chapter than infuritates me beyond measure (chapter 32 - WTF WAS THAT ABOUT???). And a lot of drama. I should have stopped reading about halfway through. I was much less angry at this book then.
@bookspinbingo @thearomaofbooks #20in4 @andrew65
A line like this is almost laughable when the book is based off of The Lady of Shallot.... 🤦♀️
Chapter 32, WTF was that?? @mollyrotondo - i have no idea what i think of this book anymore.......
bailedNot for me.... Was hoping I'd fall in love with it like I did her YA books when I was younger. #bookspinbingo @thearomaofbooks
pickI loved this book. The story, the sisters, the fact that it is inspired by (and includes) one of the Child ballads. Magic. Religion. Heartbreaking perfection.

bailedDNF. I just can't. Maybe high school/college me would have loved it. But not my thing.... #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks
pickA lovely collection of short stories, all filled with Cooney's magnificent prose
