The Epic Adventures of Lydia Bennet by Kate Rorick and Rachel Kiley
I entered a giveaway for an ARC of this book on Goodreads and then promptly forgot about it until I later received an email telling me I had won one of 15 copies Touchstone, the publishers, were giving away! I found myself actually connecting with Lydia in ways I hadn't through The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, and though there were a few things I didn't like/agree with in the book, overall I enjoyed it.

I had seen this book around a few times and added it to my to-read list, but after recommendations from two of my librarians on separate occasions, I decided it had to be worth a read SOON. I finished this book in less than 24 hours and it wrecked me. I greatly admired Lina for the hope she displayed, even throughout all the horrifying treatment received. It instantly became a favorite of mine, and I liked being able to see another part of the tragic WWII stories. An amazing book I highly recommend.

I had known about this book for a while after seeing many of Tyler's poems on Pinterest. I finally borrowed this from the library and read it in about an hour. I almost bought this book once in Anthropologie a few months ago, but now I'm glad I didn't. It wasn't bad, I just didn't love it as much as I had thought I would.

My little sister got this at a book fair recently and I thought it looked interesting. Fun book with several interesting stories about real-life princesses. I loved seeing how so many of them were fighting for change and doing their best to try and make the world a better place.

I decided to read this after hearing her poem "B" in a TED talk. Some poems were good, some were alright, but all had lots of feeling. I'll cut this short by saying I really agreed with this review!
