The narrating character was a little too passive for my taste.

Review: Lady in Waiting: My Extraordinary Life in the Shadow of the Crown

Lady in Waiting: My Extraordinary Life in the Shadow of the Crown by Anne Glenconner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Only about half of this book covers her time with the royal family, the rest is about her own very interesting life. An excellent read, and not disappointing even if you only picked it up for Margaret.

I received a free e-galley from netgalley.com.

Review: The Furies

The Furies by Katie Lowe
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

This book seems a bit tone deaf considering all the violence in the world right now. It's just really inappropriate to have a narrator who is glorifying murder so much. I was going to donate my copy to the local library but the idea makes me very uncomfortable to some teen could feel a connection to these characters and do something stupid. My copy is going in the recycling bin.

I received a free ARC from the publisher.
