The Shadow Key by Susan Stokes-Chapman

A mixed bag for me. The atmosphere is great, but the characters and the infodump endings somewhat ruined the overall satisfaction.

Completed Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-Reum | audiobook read by Rosa Escoda | translator Shanna Tan | Review

A delightful read about starting over within a society that demands conformity. Little vignettes of seeking happiness from those who enter YeongJu’s little bookshop.



The Little French Bistro by Nina George | read by Emma Bering | Review
Perfect beach read. French countryside, French men and rediscovering yourself even at sixty when all hope is seemingly lost.

Finished The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann | read by Dion Graham | Review

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

I am not sure how many readers here would find this interesting, but this is among the best graphic novel series I have EVER read, indie or otherwise. If you like this genre, do try!
The Cursed Princess series by LambCat is completely out on Webtoon, but in the graphic novels, it is not even halfway done. I read the entire series from the webtoon app.
Reviews for all four books:
1. Cursed Princess Club Volume One: A WEBTOON Unscrolled Graphic Novel

2. Cursed Princess Club Volume Two

I read The Good Wife of Bath by Karen Brooks, a retelling of Chaucer's Wife of Bath Prologue and Tale in the voice of Eleanor/Alyson.
It moves at a fast pace, was engaging and entertaining. But I thought aspects of it were a little improbable.

I read Every Rising Sun by Jamila Ahmed. An imaginative re-telling of The Arabian Nights in the voice of Shaherazade. Ahmed deviates from the original by giving Shaherazade greater voice and agency.
