Book Review | #bestiemademe | The Sword and the Dagger by Robert Cochran

07.31.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

**Disclaimer: I received a free copy of The Sword and the Dagger by Robert Cochran from his publishers in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you to them for this opportunity.

The Sword and the Dagger by Robert Cochran is a young adult historical fiction novel.  It is a multi point of view novel set during the reign of Genghis Khan.  Three very different characters are forced to come together on an unlikely mission.  I rated it four stars on Goodreads.

Book Review | #bestiemademe | A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

06.03.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

The May book for the #bestiemademe challenge was A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer.  Kari has been bugging me to read this book for a long time, as is the standard with all of the #bestiemademe books.  And as with all of these books, Kari was right.  I was really engaged in this story, and absolutely loved it.  I gave it 5 stars on Goodreads.

Book Review | #bestiemademe | Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

April’s #bestiemademe read is Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller!  I listened to this one as an audiobook, just to switch it up from the usual style I’ve done for reading the previous #bestiemademe books. Daughter of the Pirate King is a YA fantasy novel about, you guessed it, the daughter of the pirate king, Alosa.  I rated it four stars on Goodreads.

Book Review | #bestiemademe – We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

04.06.2020 by Kari // Leave a Comment

91kkPLZfk8L I read We Were Liars at the beginning of this year. I forgot exactly when Ashley recommended it to me, but it was long enough for me to have had it on my TBR, finally buy a copy, and then have it sit there for a little while longer.

Due of the nature of this book, it’s going to be a short and vague review. I do apologize in advance.

Book Review | #bestiemademe | American Royals by Katharine McGee

Here is my March read for the #bestiemademe challenge: American Royals by Katharine McGee. Kari has been bugging me to read it for forever, as she read it super early on.  You can find her review here.  I genuinely don’t know why it took me so long to get to it, but it was a perfect read for me this month.  Again, it was another wonderful recommendation and one that I absolutely loved.  I gave it five stars as well.

A: When I was little I was obsessed with Nancy Drew books.  I’d take two out of the library each week and read them.  One year I joined this club at the local library and part of it was doing this newsletter thing that included an author profile.  I suggested Carolyn Keene because Nancy Drew was amazing so obviously so was the author.  Then the librarian told me that Carolyn Keene wasn’t real and it broke my little reader heart.

Hi friends 💙 So we all know Geralt is from the Hi friends 💙

So we all know Geralt is from the school of the Wolf. However, there’s also the Cat (also known to produce “evil”), Bear, Griffin, Viper, Manticore, and Crane. I think I’d like to be part of the Wolf or the Bear or Viper schools to be honest!

That being said, what are some of your favorite books with animals in them?

Hope your Sunday is going well. I just finished by case brief and compare and contrast for my class, so I’m feeling rather accomplished right now.

What are you currently reading?

Right now I’m reading A Song of Wraiths and Ruins. It’s so good!

I’m excited to pick up this badass lady series as well.
