Happy October! I had a pretty good reading month in September.

Oh, it was both strange and wonderful to be back in the London's.

So first off, I was very nervous about this book -- I worried I would miss Lou too much, but thankfully Celie stood so well as her own character, and the plot was superb as well.

Retellings and I can have a complicated relationship, but there was no complicated relationship here. I enjoyed this book from cover to cover,

Wow! I was BLOWN AWAY by this book. I think part of why I loved it so much is it touched on both themes and ideas we see in ancient mythology - specifically Greek and Viking, which have some of my favorite women warriors.

What do I say? How do I say it? This is a gothic romance/dark academia book, and it delivers in every aspect.
