I am reading Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo. After reading the blurb, I was sure I wanted to read it.
I picked it up in the airport and thought it sounded interesting
I READ Zatanna and the house of secrets
Read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue for this one!!
I recently read one of the classics, Gulliver's Travels, published in 1726 by Irish author Jonathan Swift. Although he takes a snarky satirical view of the political climate of his times and cleverly places it into an imaginative world, I still found this a difficult book to fully enjoy as a modern reader. Here is ⭐⭐⭐ my review
I read The Elusive Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman. Thank you, Lynn, for recommending this series! I am loving it.I'm impressed with all the research into the countries in which each book is set. It's like a travelogue: between the descriptions of the food, the language and the topography, I feel like I'm there. And the action is worthy of Clive Cussler!
Excellent, I found this book without even thinking of the prompt at the bookstore:The Last Campaign: Sherman, Geronimo and the War for America .
I'm also going to be using it for the 'map' prompt.
Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson is a quirky fantasy based on the Princess Bride, featuring a girl who braves dragons, pirates and the deadly 12 seas to try and rescue her Prince. Here is my review
For this one I might end up reading:Female Apache Warrior and Shaman of Her People: The Remarkable Story of Little Sister Lozen
The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf is a YA dystopian sci-fi by Indigenous Australian author Ambelin Kwaymullina of the Kalyku people of the Pilbara. Ashala faces interrogation as one of the Illegals, captured for possessing special gifts. She must survive the interrogation and save her tribe. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review
I'm currently reading "Armadale" by 19th-century mystery writer Wilkie Collins. There are FOUR separate characters named Allan Armadale, so I guess this one qualifies!
