Book Shelf Clean Out: The Adventures Of Charley Tooth

Book shelf clean out: The adventures of Charley Tooth

This one was weird and I liked it. The protagonist Charley accidentally ends up on an interstellar adventure(?) What I remember most is that the scifi alien setting really did feel interestingly alien. I don't remember much about the plot or the characters, but I remember it wasnt much like anything else I had already read. Lovely book.

We absolutely stan any book that brings the banhammer down on dickhead guys flirting instead of respecting the chain of command. As a woman who taught for a lot of years, you really do learn how to walk into a classroom and how to shut this shit down. Thank goodness that there are books out there that tell girls that they are not ever expected to put up with that kind of unprofessional nonsense.

Treasure at the Heart of the Tanglewood

I loved this one, and it was interesting because it's not by an author I know. But i found it so fascinating.

Spoilers I guess?

The protagonist starts off as this mysterious girl living alone in the tanglewood, a mysterious forest. She eventually leaves the tanglewood and goes on an adventure. She has vines and leaves in her hair, and it later turns out she is the tanglewood. Her journey affects the seasons of the lands she visits. As she travels, the plants in her hair change. I don't remember a lot of it (obviously) but this is probably one of the first books I read where a character was also a place/thing

BOOK HYPE: Scarlett Gale, red, the wolf, and the woods

Scarlett gale is the author of 2 books that I absolutely adore (His secret Illuminations and its sequel) which is so far up my alley it's embarrassing

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am for this new work by her..it comes out September 1,2023

A hardworking farmer who moonlights as a dog trainer, Red longs for her brothers to step it up on the family farm so she can get a whole five minutes of uninterrupted time to herself. When her grandma calls down with a delivery request, Red jumps at the chance to go visit the house in the woods she loves so much. No farm chores and a good hike? It’s basically the perfect day!

…right until a wolf walks out of the woods and asks if he can join her.

Sound familiar? Red, the Wolf, and the Woods is a playful, modern take on the classic fairy tale, with a steamy romance at its core. Take some time away from your daily grind to join Red on a flirty, feral adventure!
