Book Of The Month
Carolynn's Book Of The Month.
Well, I wasn’t expecting that!
I opened this book having made the decision not to do a dive into who Andromeda was beforehand and I am so glad I did, because I will never see her as anything other than the incredible character that E.S. Mcleod has created. This book is incredible. A story of womanhood and the power men hold. A fight for freedom and love that will get you in all the right places. Every character is perfectly written and complete. You are transported into mythology in a way you cold not have imagined. Expect to see this in my top ten books of the year.
Say Thank You the Right Way ...
The perfect gift for the teacher who's given so much this year.
Retold: Stories from the Other Side
A chance to meet two incredible authors. Andromeda is our book of the month and Havisham is an excellent historical fiction.
