#realmathon

I had heard many good things about House of Hunger on Booktube, so naturally when I found out it would be a host choice for Realmathon, I had to read it.  It's dark and gothic setting made every action every character questioning the intent.  I did feel it dragged slightly in the middle, with everything happening in the last fifty pages, but honestly it worked.  You needed to feel for Marion and Lisavet, and understand the complicated relationship between the Nobility and bloodmaids.  The ending is absolutely stunning, bittersweet, hopeful and open ended all at once.  Definitely a book I would not mind having in my collection.

Points earned: +152 (defend) and -35 (attack)

Happy first day of Camp NaNo. I would have gotten more done but I kinda sorta maybe broke my foot so I had to stop. Also, you know Realmathon. Currently reading House of Hunger for it, and it's actually really good so far.

Genre : SPOOKY - Thriller, Horror, Mystery

Spontaneously joining the RealmAThon during Camp NaNo. I have a very long TBR (this isn’t all of them) and a couple different things going on this month, but hopefully it’s going to be a good reading month and lots of good books will be read. Maybe I’ll get through all these. Maybe I won’t #realmathon #reading #reader #massivetbr #tbr #stephaniegarber #anneobrien #williamshakespeare #emilybronte #jaidajones #danibennett #kellyblanchard #hilarymantel #nickmartell #johngwynne #mlrio (at Monterey, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb0cgIYuM3Q/?utm_medium=tumblr
