Book Blogger Love Tag

It’s nice when a friend thinks you write the best reviews…
Blogger Love!! ❤️❤️❤️

Sydney's Shelves

Hello nerdy friends! Its Thursday so I’m here for a tag! What What!! Sorry got a little 90’s on y’all. Anyway today’s tag is a little different than the ones I normally do. What had happened was I saw where an book blogger award was going around. But there was voting and stuff which of course I missed the deadline for it. However I still had this feeling in my soul like I wanted to recognize some bloggers. Then I saw this video on The Hardback Hoarder’s YouTube channel and again on Pucks and Paperbacks. And I thought to myself… Sydney you could just reword those questions and make it about book blogs. Um, so I did. I follow like a gillion book blogs. But these are ones I especially wanted to promote.

Please pick a few and check them out! Also feel free to do this “award” yourself…

The Bear and the Nightingale
By Katherine Arden
Publisher Del Rey
ISBN13: 9781101885932
Pages: 322
Genre: Fantasy/Fairy Tale

Synopsis:

At the edge of the Russian wilderness, winter lasts most of the year and the snowdrifts grow taller than houses. But Vasilisa doesn’t mind—she spends the winter nights huddled around the embers of a fire with her beloved siblings, listening to her nurse’s fairy tales. Above all, she loves the chilling story of Frost, the blue-eyed winter demon, who appears in the frigid night to claim unwary souls. Wise Russians fear him, her nurse says, and honor the spirits of house and yard and forest that protect their homes from evil.

After Vasilisa’s mother dies, her father goes to Moscow and brings home a new wife. Fiercely devout, city-bred, Vasilisa’s new stepmother forbids her family from honoring the household spirits. The family acquiesces, but Vasilisa is frightened, sensing that more hinges…
