I
haven’t forgotten how to read! I just keep watching Game of Thrones.
Last week
I finished Blood Sisters by Melanie Clegg (known as Madame Guillotine on
twitter and her blog). I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to write this
review. Book reviews are hard because I just want to go I LIKED IT! READ IT! This one is definitely more of a record than a review...
Blood
Sisters is about 3 sisters during the French revolution: twins Lucrèce and
Cassandre, and their more rebellious younger sister Adélaïde. The book moves from
sister to sister as they marry other aristocrats and experience the Reign of
Terror first hand. The book is basically romance and gore... and a fair amount
of guillotining. I read Blood Sisters in 2 days, thinking “I’ll just read a
litttttle bit more and then I’ll do something useful.” It is so readable and
engaging and thankfully free of the glaringly obvious historical inaccuracies! You
can tell that the author has spent years researching this topic and it really
makes a difference.
I’m now
off to read lots and lots of short books to make up for being about 10 behind
on this challenge... oops.
The French Revolution book! Yay! Also, you have a sparkly new top thing! That's awesome! I AM EXCLAIMING SO MUCH!!
