One of my favourite #BookBloggers is Rachel at THE PERSPICACIOUS BOOKWORM. If you aren’t already following her #blog, I suggest you rectify that oversight so you can read insightful, well written #BookReviews across a multitude of genres, as well as author interviews and other bookish content. @bookstodon
ROMANITAS by Sophia McDougall is a tale of political intrigue set against the backdrop of a Roman Empire that has endured into the 21st century. Read my review to find out whether the book successfully delivers on the promise of its intriguing premise. @bookstodon
#book 15: PROMISE BOYS by Nick Brooks -- a YA #mystery that addresses deeper contemporary issues facing young men of color. Thanks to the publishers for the review #audiobook copy.
Today finished listening to "The Wicked Bargain" by Gabe Cole Novoa and read by Vico Ortiz. It's a good #YoungAdult adventure, a historical #fantasy with #pirates and magic in the Caribbean. The main character is transmasc, and the details around that were skillfully folded into the story (while being just one part of a multi-faceted protagonist). Ortiz's reading was nicely varied. I also enjoyed how Spanish is incorporated into conversations.
Today's review! Barnabas Bopwright Saves the City by J. Marshall Freeman:
"Excellent writing, believable, relatable characters, a delightful coming-of-age story... Filled with adventure and angst, and a lovely cast of characters who were relatable, believable, and very charming."

I recently finished "All hell breaks loose" the prequel book about Skullduggery Pleasant. A Y/A supernatural mystery series of books.
It started a bit slow but towards the end I started to it's potential. I always prefer a series that gets better and better the deeper I get into it.
A wickedly comic feminist mystery about the dark side of a hopeless romantic’s seemingly perfect love story—for readers of Jessica Goodman and Kara Thomas.
The trilogy of Ferryman is now complete : Ferryman, Trespassers and Outcasts. I only read the first book for the moment, but I really loved this ya novel. The characters are very deep and touching and their backstories are explored along the way. Claire Mc Fall’s novel is extremely poetic and introspective. It is a spiritual and paranormal romance, a very unique mixture that kept me hooked.
