Articles can be excluded that one works

I surprisingly had 3 5* reads in Round 1
Three Dark Crowns the start of a fantasy series with a twist

Island of Secrets and The House of Dust and Dreams which were surprisingly good finds for the mini. If you like The Nightingale you will like these.

Have we decided on our battle book are we going with Ancestor or Ancestral Night we need to let District 7 know.

To clarify for battle books
We need to plan our 10 books before the start of week 2.

Really enjoying it, the Crete books I’ve read for this challenge have been an eye opener

Green is for Leprechaun - COMLLETED 12/1/24
(view spoiler)[Leprechauns love all things green. Or maybe that's gold. Maybe it could be a greenish gold. You ponder if greenish gold is a color. Maybe it's when gold gets old and rusty.

Clearly the only solution to this problem is to craft a 4 leaf clover out of gold. That would attract any leprechaun in the region and probably quite a few of your fellow Novelarians.

Read a book with leaves or a tree on the cover to gather your leaves.

Then read a book with a gold cover or with gold in the title to convert the leaves to gold.
26/4/22
Earn 3 experience, a green shard and 6 Leprechaun coins for crafting your clover. (hide spoiler)]

DQs Day 4 - "Love Has Come to Mean Death" - end

15. I personally haven't read Jane Eyre and therefore can't compare the two books which makes me feel a bit regretting, but then again so many of y'all don't seem to like this as a retelling. Do you think you'd feel differently about the book depending on whether you've read Jane Eyre or not, and do you want to pick up Jane Eyre now if you haven't yet? What if you hadn't been aware of this being a retelling and the characters had different names?

It’s been a long time since I read Jane Eyre I would need to re-read to compare.

16. I was secretly hoping that Agnes had romantic feelings for Antoinette and that she was more involved in the last part of the book, but alas it was Dr. Poole. No big surprise there. Has your opinion of him changed in any way after he "confessed" and tried to help Jane and Edward? And if you could bring someone back from the dead, would you do it? Theoretically you wouldnt be aware of any consequences, but logically I think we've learned that there's always consequences...

He learnt his lesson and to condemn a person because they have made a judgement of error is not in my nature. I wouldn’t bring anyone back from the dead. They should be left in peace

17. Jane came back for Edward and saved him of course, and now they're living happily ever after. How do you feel about them as a couple, and is there anything you would have changed about these last couple of chapters as the author or simply just a fan of the original work?

I actually enjoyed these last few chapters and like a HEA

18. Was this your first book written by Sharon Lynn Fisher, and do you think you'll be reading more by the author? Were your original expectations met? Anything else you want to add?

This is the first book by this author that I’ve read but I do have Before She Wakes: Forbidden Fairy Tales on my TBT

Bonus for everyone but especially those who have read Jane Eyre before: I challenge you to say at least one good thing about Salt & Broom - other than "it ended!!" lol :b
