The only problem: This position is forbidden to women. She loves sewing more than anything, and she has always dreamed of becoming the greatest tailor A’Landi has ever seen. Ever since her mother died, Maia has been taking over more and more responsibilities in her father’s shop – and she’s a natural. Spin the Dawn follows Maia Tamarin, the youngest of four children and the only girl. But maybe, maybe all this could work in my favor. Girls were supposed to be delicate and pale. The freckles on my face and arms didn’t help, either.

You have no idea how much I love these types of stories, and Abby gave me the perfect excuse I needed to finally grab myself a copy of this one 😁 So thank you, Abby!!!įinlei used to tease that, from behind, I looked exactly like Keton – reedy as a boy. “a girl disguises herself as a boy to get what she otherwise wouldn’t have access to”. It had been on my desperately-need-to-buy-list ever since Althea Althea is Reading told me it included my favorite trope ever, a.k.a.

And being the kind soul that she is, Abby recommended I go read Elizabeth Lim’s Spin the Dawn, knowing fully well that I was dying to get to this anyway. Anyway – shoutout to Abby Beyond the Read and Line First Line Reader, you guys did amazing! I already reviewed Line’s pick, The Winternight Trilogy, earlier this week, so now it’s Abby’s turn. To be entirely truthful, I am also writing this in response to my Can You Guess My Favorite Books? post, in which I promised to review a book recommended to me by the winner of that challenge. I’m so happy to have you, and I hope you know how much I cherish being able to interact with you! 😊Īnyway, since I pretty much only read textbooks in September and didn’t end up writing any book reviews then, you’re getting two this week! Well… maybe that isn’t the real reason. Seriously, why do you like my posts this much? I am beyond flattered that so many of you are willing to return after being hit with the full force of my ramblings, and even respond to them.

A lot has happened this past week – I’m still getting used to my mysterious new font, the government announced Germany would be going back into lockdown starting next week ( *Yay, now that I’m finally almost done with exams and would actually have time to do stuff* 😅), and I passed 200 followers on this blog!!! 🎉🎈🥳 Honestly, guys, I’m speechless.
