Day 19 of #DABSummerChallenge : based on real event/person. The Wild Girl is based on Dortchen Wild who fell in love with one of the Grimm brothers, Wilhelm. . "Stories are important too. Stories help make sense of things. They make you believe you can do things. They help you imagine that things may be different, that if you just have enough courage... or faith... or goodness... you can change things for the better." ~Kate Forsyth, The Wild Girl . #TheWildGirl #KateForsyth #historicalfiction #aussieauthor

Day 6 (!) of #DABSummerChallenge and I can't believe I've posted everyday! I even have tomorrow's ready 😲 Am having sooo Much fun, thanks @dateabook ; even if the fam bam thinks I'm crazy 😅 . Dead Jealous & Dead Silent follow Poppy Sinclair on her encounters with death and subsequent insistence in investigating. Aside from thrilling mysteries, there's also cute romance and a touch of the supernatural. Books are set in Europe, of course, following today's prompt; specifically UK. . #DeadJealous #DeadSilent #PoppySinclair #SharonJones #YA #mystery #thriller

Day 4 of #DABSummerChallenge : a translated book. My pick is because it's the first translated book from Bahasa Indonesia that I came across. I picked it for my f2f bookclub too and everyone enjoyed it saying that it is very inspirational. Even more so when you find out that it's semi-autobiographical! Education & hard work do bring the world to your feet 🤓 . Those 4 little balls are pineapple tarts. They are one of my favourite Indonesian snacks 🤗 . #TheRainbowTroops #AndreaHirata #translation #Indonesia #fiction #semiautobiography #education #teachers #students #poverty #dreams #bookstagram #pineappletarts #nomnomnom

My f2f bookclub's theme this year is fairy tale retellings. There's a list of fairy tales we'll be looking at but we're free to choose our own retellings to read. These 2 books are what I'll be reading in the next couple of weeks. It's pretty obvious which fairy tale 😉 . Reading the blurb for Heart's Blood and it reminds me of Uprooted which I just LURRVEE!Can't wait to start! . #DABSummerChallenge #redrose #rose #fairytales #retellings #bookstagram #BeautyandTheBeast #ScarletintheSnow #SophieMasson #HeartsBlood #JulietMarillier #YA #loveozya
