Tome Thursday: Hope(less)

Hello everyone!

Today I'm bringing you something a little bit different, or at least different to what I've been reading recently.

It's been a while since I found a really good supernatural book that I'd actually enjoy to the point where I'd want to immediately gobble down the rest of the series; usually what'll happen is that I'll like the first book, but it won't hold my interest all that much that I'd want to devote more time to the subsequent ones.

Not with this.

I picked this one up at random, I think BookBub suggested it to me and the first in the series was free at the time, so I was like sure, why not.

I don't often like YA books, not anymore at least, because I think I've just outgrown them, and most feature a heroine who runs off at the first sight of problems when all you want to do is shake her and tell her to JUST. COMMUNICATE.

This one wasn't like that, which is probably part of the allure here.

Are you ready for this? Better have some hope, because Hope(less) is up next.

Tome Thursday: Persephone

Hello everyone!

At this point in time, my love for Greek Mythology is probably not such a well-known fact, despite me actually adoring it more than I adore a lot of things in the long run. The thing is, however, that I haven't had much interest in books about it for a while, that is until I randomly stumbled over one that caught my interest and wouldn't let go.

I can't even say just WHY it happened - though probably it was Bookbub telling me the book was being offered for a low price on Kobo.

I'm talking about Kailtin Bevis's Persephone.

Now, I have already shown in the past that I have this thing for mythology and retellings (can anyone say Percy Jackson with me?), so I was really excited for this. You have to be a total geek to understand my geekiness, but I also needed something to tide me over while I'm hunting for the latest Alison Weir book about Anne Boleyn.

In any event, however, yesterday was spent mostly by sticking my nose into the pages of this book and not looking up until I was done.
