Fantastic, I loved it! Similar to Circe and Song of Achilles, great for fans of mythology and retellings. I devoured it in one go!

The Mistletoe Mystery

book cover


This is the 3rd book in The Maid series. It’s a Christmas novella. I wasn’t really thrilled with the book and my granddaughter asked me why I keep reading it. I always finish a book hoping that the ending will make me change my mind. And it did. I still rated it a 3 star because I did find most of the book to be boring and childish. But I’m looking forward to reading the final book. Perhaps it will be about the wedding.

This book was alarming. Most homeschool families do not approach learning the way the author's mother did.

Milk Fed

I decided to read this book after seeing it on bookstagram, and I'm so glad I decided to pick this up! This was an interesting read, it explores so many big and important topics and issues in such an interesting and engaging way. Through the idea of food 'Milk Fed' explores how the ideas put in our heads about body image at a young age effect how we live our lives as adults, it shows how something as simple seeming as eating and hugely HUNGER can play such a huge role in how we exist and experience things each day. It also explores the idea of what a "mother" is and what that figure looks like, and how she is perceived and is supposed to act and be to a child and an adult. Another big theme that comes out in this book is religion and its role in sexuality. It talks about how your upbringing can affect your view of your sexuality and force you to behave a certain way while also not changing who you are. Ultimately it shows the brutal reality of how religion and sexuality often clash and can lead to painful relationships with the people you care about and how messed up family dynamics can be. This book also explores the workplace and how as people we tend to "preform" a certain way with different groups of people, especially for people we see as higher up than ourselves, along with how this effects the way we see ourself. I read this book over the course of two days, it was a fast and addictive read that had me dying to know where the story was going to go. I loved the characters (and hated a few), especially that we could hear the inner thoughts and voice of the MC, it made the story so interesting. I loved this book and can't recommend it enough!
