The Legend
of the Golden Raven By: K. Ancrum
I gave this
novella 2 stars. I am not sure if it was me or the story. It has been over a
year since I read The Wicker King and maybe that is why I had a hard connecting
to the story. It is only 40 pages, but it took me 3 days to read. I honestly cannot
even tell what it is about. The book did do a lot jumping from present to past.
I will not tell you not to read it but if you do, please read it right after
you the Wicker King.
Wilderlore:
The Accidental Apprentice By: Amanda Foody
I gave this
book 4 stars. It is a fast read about spirit animals. They call them Magical
Beasts in the story. This story is about a young man who has lost his family to
an extraordinarily strong Magical Beast and is left orphan in the town with
lots of rules. He keeps breaking the rules and does not feel welcomed there.
One day he and his fellow working go looking for a mushroom, by the woods
(which are forbidden to be enter) and somehow get into the woods. They find a girl
there who is going to summon this great beast. She ends up summoning a beast
but not the one she wants, and that beast beat ends up bonding with the boy who
lost his family. He does not want the beast and gets into trouble at his
village and must go to another village to try to get the mark removed. He goes
through a lot of trails and learns some important things. There is a lot going
on in this story and I recommend that you read it.
Paradise
Lost By: John Milton
I gave this classic
3 stars. This is the retelling of Satan and his fallen angels from Heaven. I
would suggest that you read the bible version before you read this book. This
was for whateverathon prompt of reading a book out of my comfort zone. Digital
challenge of written before 2018. Personal challenge was to read a classic a
month and top ten.
The Miner’s
Lament: A Story of Latina Activists in the Empire Zinc Mine Strike By: Judy
Dodge Cummings.
I read this

Game. For the Boxofficeathon it fulfilled the prompt to read a classic or
Historical fiction by reading an e-book. I gave this book 4 stars. I have a
review up and the link is below.

Elatsoe By:
Darcie Little Badger
I gave this book 4 stars. This book was used in
the whateverathon for a debut novel and POC Rep. The read digital challenge for
a hyped book.
This is a
native American book about a young girl who can bring the ghost of dead animals
back. There is a lot of magic involved. She is trying to figure who murdered
her cousin and her friends are helping her along with ghost of dead animals she
can bring back.
Swamp Thing:
Twin Branches By: Maggie Stiefvater
I gave this
book 3 stars. This is a graphic novel for young adults. This is about twin
brothers who catch their Dad having an affair and he sends them to visit family
while the parents figure out what to do with their marriage.
The one
brother is very nerdy and has been working with plants and the experiment he is
working on is how to pull the plants feelings into some form. I was confused on
what was doing and what he was trying to accomplish. Anyway, things go wrong,
and weird things happen. Was not on my June TBR but I saw the book at the
library and wanted to read it.
Beauty
Queens By: Libba Bray
I gave this
book 4 stars. This was a ride to read. At first, I thought I was not going to
like it, but I did. This book has a lot of characters and each one is different
except being a beauty queen. There is a trans., POC, Lesbian and a deaf person
and maybe one who might be bi. You find al this out as you read the book.
This story
takes place on an island out in the middle of nowhere. Their plane crashes and
the flight crew do not survive. The girls do and they must learn how to get
along and work together to survive.
Caleb’s
Story By: Patricia MacLachlan
I gave this
book 4 stars. This is the third book in her Sarah, Plain and Tall Series. This
is about Caleb keeping up with the family life in Journal form. His sister Anna
started this when Sarah came into their lives. World War 1 is happening and so
is the Spanish Flu. Somethings take place that I do not want to mention just in
case you have not read the first book. It is just a little more about their
lives.
Grandfather’s
Dance By: Patricia MacLachlan
I gave this
book 4 stars. It is the fifth and final book in the Sarah, Plain and Tall
Series. This book is about the wedding of Anna and life. Again, I do not want
to say too much because it the conclusion of a series. They are quick reads and
fun with some historical fiction in them.
Dear Justyce By: Nic Stone
I gave this book 4 stars. I used this book for the Whateverathon prompt of POC Rep. This is the second book in the Dear Martin series .This book is told in back flashes and takes place at Yale and a detention center. There is a dead police office and a boy is charged with the murder because he is the weapon. Did he kill the police officer or is he being set up? You have to read the book to find out.
Did you read any of these books? If so do you agree with my ratings? If not tell me why.
Until next time keep reading.
