This is the Book Exchange that keeps on giving! Imagine my delight- and surprise- to find ANOTHER book from the amazing Allie- complete with a lovely card and bookmark! I was so excited to read this book (my first by this author) that I jumped right in without realizing it was part of a series. OOPS!!!! I enjoyed the little that I read, and now I have the first entry (thanks, local library!) so I cannot wait to run through BOTH. Thanks again AGAIN to […]

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
I loved Hench, LOVED IT! It’s funny, thoughtful, violent, compassionate and full of rage. Anna Truelove, pronounced troh-MED-lov, is trying to get a stable job working for a supervillain. The gig economy though, means mostly she temps and tries to stave off scurvy while she rises and grinds and waits for her invoices to get paid.

I actually really enjoyed this retelling of The Tempest*, particularly since I had just re-read the play as a refresher, so it was a lot easier to catch all the references and parallels.

Thanks Ardaigle! CBR13 Book Exchange
Thanks Ashlie/Ardaigle! These arrived on my birthday and totally made my day. 🙂
Thank You, Chelz!
I love retellings of classic stories and am so excited you got me A Wish in the Dark. Mosquitoland has also been on my list as a good YA quest-narrative always catches my attention. And that bookmark! I’m a huge fan of sharks so this really made my day. Thank you!
A wonderful Bookmas from andtheItoldyousos
andtheItoldyousos is a kindred spirit when it comes to books. We’re Goodreads friends and often have similarish things to say about the literary fiction we’ve read. I’ve been itching to read both of these, and my dreams came true! Thank you!!!!! (Also, this post is badly overdue, because I don’t have my internet act together these days, and I am very sorry about that)
