Flashback Friday: Historical Fiction

Hey guys! Praise God it’s Friday!! I am very ready for the weekend, lol. How has your week been? Got any fun plans for the weekend? Today I am back with another Flashback Friday, which is a fun weekly meme hosted by Maya @ HerBookishDesires, where we get to talk about older releases. This week’s topic is historical fiction novels, which I must admit is not my favorite genre. However, I do have 1(?) on my TBR, and a couple that are old favorites. If you want more historical fiction novels, you should check out Maya’s post! I’m excited to see what books she picked. 🙂

A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly

Sixteen-year-old Mattie Gokey has big dreams but little hope of seeing them come true. Desperate for money, she takes a job at the Glenmore, where hotel guest Grace Brown entrusts her with the task of burning a secret bundle of letters. But when Grace’s drowned body is fished from the lake, Mattie discovers that the letters could reveal the grim truth behind a murder. (From Goodreads)

I own this one, so I have no excuse. I really need to prioritize it on my TBR!

Seven Daughters and Seven Sons by Barbara Cohen and Bahija Fattuhi Lovejoy

In an ancient Arab nation, one woman dares to be different. Buran cannot—Buran will not—sit quietly at home and wait to be married to the man her father chooses. Determined to use her skills and earn a fortune, she instead disguises herself as a boy and travels by camel caravan to a distant city. There, she maintains her masculine disguise and establishes a successful business. The city’s crown prince comes often to her shop, and soon Buran finds herself falling in love. But if she reveals to Mahmud that she is a woman, she will lose everything she has worked for. (from Goodreads)

Ugh, I love this one! Revenge and romance and an awesome heroine. It is short and very sweet.

They Loved to Laugh by Kathryn Worth

16-year-old orphan Martitia Howland has been transplanted into a Quaker farm family of five intimidating sons and one disapproving daughter. As Martitia runs their gauntlet, she suffers their teasing but finally begins to bloom. Valiantly she acquires the skills they expect of her, and discovers other gifts all her own. Her achievements earn respect in the end and more, her heart’s true love. (from Goodreads)

Another old favorite of mine. The heroine has such a big journey, and I also love the sweet romance. It’s a great coming-of-age story.

Ok, I guess that sums it up, lol. What is your favorite YA historical novel? Have any recommendations for me?
Hope you guys have a great weekend and happy reading!

WWW Wednesday 3/24/21

Happy Wednesday, guys! Hope you’re having an awesome week so far. My school has been insane this week, so I’m posting less (and reading less), but if I can just make it to Easter, I think I’m going to be okay, lol. Anyway, WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words, where we get to talk about what we have been reading lately.

What I Just Finished

So, I finished The Infinity Courts by Akemi Dawn Bowman, and I was pleasantly surprised by the ending. I’m waffling on my rating for this one, but the ending raised it at least a half star. I’m actually pretty excited for the sequel now, which I didn’t expect.

I also finished Covet by Tracy Wolff. The second half definitely drug for me, but I enjoyed that one overall. That series is definitely my junk food series. Guilty pleasure is a bit extreme, but it’s complete fluff with lots of plot holes, lol. I love it for the drama and fantasy, let’s be honest here.

What I Am Currently Reading

I’ve bit in a bit of a slump, to be honest, because of my crazy school stressing me out. I’ve been skimming all these fluffy kindle unlimited books…but we’re not counting those, lol. What I’ve actually made some progress on is my audiobook, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I’m really enjoying listening to those! Very awesome narrator.

I’ve also started Night of the Dragon by Julie Kagawa and Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. Northanger Abbey is definitely on the back burner, but I wanted to read one more classic this spring. I’m not far into Night of the Dragon, but I’m enjoying it so far. I’m thinking about reviewing this entire series in one post instead of three. I’m having a hard time thinking about them separately, lol.

What I Want To Read Next

Empress of All Seasons is the final book on my TBR this month, and I’d really like to finish it before the end of March, but I must admit my chances are looking slim. Not a lot of free time in the next week’s schedule, sadly. But I will read it next, probably, even if it’s not until April.

Ok, I guess that is it for this week! What are you guys reading? Have you read any of these? Hope the rest of your week goes well and happy reading!!

City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare: a New-to-Me Review

Happy Monday, guys! I hope your weekend went well! Do anything fun? I worked and studied a LOT Saturday, but I took Sunday off, which was nice.

Summary Info

What price is too high to pay, even for love? When Jace and Clary meet again, Clary is horrified to discover that the demon Lilith’s magic has bound her beloved Jace together with her evil brother Sebastian, and that Jace has become a servant of evil. The Clave is out to destroy Sebastian, but there is no way to harm one boy without destroying the other. As Alec, Magnus, Simon, and Isabelle wheedle and bargain with Seelies, demons, and the merciless Iron Sisters to try to save Jace, Clary plays a dangerous game of her own. The price of losing is not just her own life, but Jace’s soul. She’s willing to do anything for Jace, but can she still trust him? Or is he truly lost? (from Goodreads)

• Title: City of Lost Souls
• Author: Cassandra Clare
• Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
• Publish date: May 8, 2012
• Series: The Mortal Instruments, book #5

Review

Ah, this book. It was intense. Since this is the fifth in this series, I think I’m going to skip the whole pro/con bit and just sum up my thoughts.

I know I keep saying how much I love these characters, but every book I just love them more and more. Simon and Izzy and Jace and Clary! I love them all. And Jace! Jace killed me in this book. I didn’t realize how much I loved him until he was some odd zombie version of himself. Ugh, I missed him so much in this book! I mean, he was there…but he wasn’t his awesome, snarky self.

While we are on the topic of Jace’s weirdness, let’s talk about Sebastian. Holy cow, what a great bad guy he is. So dang creepy!! He fascinates and horrifies me, but I think he’s a pretty awesome villain. Way more interesting than Valentine.

I should also point out that the plot really sped up in this book. City of Fallen Angels (book 4), was obviously a little bit of a filler novel, although I still enjoyed it, but the series picked up again in City of Lost Souls. And so did the angst. Oh my word, the emotion was very intense. I expected nothing less, but still. I was very sucked in.

Following Good

I’ve mentioned the majority of my concerns about TMI content issues before, so I won’t go too in depth. I think I will give a recap of my content issues when I review the last book. The only thing I have to add is that the LGBT content has been heavier in the last three books of this series than the first three.

Rating

I did really enjoy this one, although I wish there had been more (real!) Jace. Ah well, lol. 4.5 stars.

Well, I hope you guys have a great week and happy reading!

Flashback Friday: Books With Unicorns

Happy Friday, guys! Has your week gone well? Do you have any fun weekend plans? I’m back to school craziness, so. My hope is to spend as little time as possible doing homework. 🙂 Anyway, Flashback Friday is a fun weekly meme hosted by Maya @ Her Bookish Desires where we get to talk about oldie but goodie books. This week’s theme is magical creatures. It’s supposed to be leprechauns because of St. Patrick’s day, but I fudged a little. Sorry, Maya. Somehow I ended up with unicorns…

Drink, Slay, Love by Sarah Beth Durst

Pearl is a sixteen-year-old vampire… fond of blood, allergic to sunlight, and mostly evil… until the night a sparkly unicorn stabs her through the heart with his horn. Oops.

Her family thinks she was attacked by a vampire hunter (because, obviously, unicorns don’t exist), and they’re shocked she survived. They’re even more shocked when Pearl discovers she can now withstand the sun. But they quickly find a way to make use of her new talent. The Vampire King of New England has chosen Pearl’s family to host his feast. If Pearl enrolls in high school, she can make lots of human friends and lure them to the King’s feast—as the entrees.

The only problem? Pearl’s starting to feel the twinges of a conscience. How can she serve up her new friends—especially the cute guy who makes her fangs ache—to be slaughtered? Then again, she’s definitely dead if she lets down her family. What’s a sunlight-loving vamp to do? (from Goodreads)

Ok, you may argue that this is a vampire novel. And you wouldn’t be entirely wrong, lol…but there is a unicorn. Fascinating combination.

The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge

In 1842, thirteen-year-old orphan Maria Merryweather arrives at Moonacre Manor, her family’s ancestral home in an charmed village in England’s West Country, and she feels as if she’s entered Paradise. Her new guardian, her uncle Sir Benjamin, is kind and funny; the Manor itself feels like home right away; and every person and animal she meets is like an old friend. But there is something incredibly sad beneath all of this beauty and comfort, that shadowing Moonacre Manor and the town around it. Maria is determined to learn about it, change it, and give her own life story a happy ending.

The enchanted valley of Moonacre is shadowed by a tragedy that happened years ago, and the memory of the Moon Princess and the mysterious little white horse. Determined to restore peace and happiness to the whole of Moonacre Valley, Maria finds herself involved with an ancient feud, and she discovers it is her destiny to end it and right the wrongs of her ancestors. Maria usually gets her own way. But what can one solitary girl do? (from Goodreads)

I just read this one, and it is so fun! Such awesome characters and a magical setting. Full review coming soon.

Alright, that’s all. Unicorn books are slightly limited, lol. Although I did consider including Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. 🙂 Can you think of any others?? Have you read either of these?
Happy reading,
Hayden

Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson: a Review

Happy Thursday, people! (one. more. day. lol.). Have you had a good week so far?

Summary Info

All sorcerers are evil. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery—magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather. She hopes to become a warden, charged with protecting the kingdom from their power.

Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire. Elisabeth’s desperate intervention implicates her in the crime, and she is torn from her home to face justice in the capital. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them.

As her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she’s been taught—about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.(from Goodreads)

• Title: Sorcery of Thorns
• Author: Margaret Rogerson
• Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
• Publish date: June 4, 2019

Review

So, I really loved An Enchantment of Ravens, Margaret Rogerson’s first book, and I was excited to try this one. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, so I was surprised to have fairly mixed feelings. Let’s talk about what I liked first.

The Pros: The fantasy world, Austermeer, was so neat! The sorcery wasn’t really elaborated on (it is powered by summoning demons, but not much else), but the grimoires were so cool. They are basically living books that can turn into monsters if not properly looked after. The grimoires ended up playing a much larger part in the story than I anticipated, and I thought the whole thing was very unique and intriguing.
I also loved the humor in this book. Nathaniel was hysterical and continuously cracking me up. Even his demonic servant was subtly funny. It helped break up what could have been a fairly dark book.
Related to that, I did enjoy most of the characters. Elisabeth herself wasn’t my favorite, but I loved Silas and Nathaniel.

The Cons: The plot speed was kind of odd in Sorcery of Thorns. It started out a little slowly for me, which made it hard to get into. Then, it would speed up and lull and speed up and lull. I thought we were getting to the climax a few different times before we actually made it. It just didn’t feel like a steady build, which made it hard to stay invested.
Similarly, I enjoyed the romance, but I did feel like there weren’t really enough scenes with Elisabeth and Nathaniel to make it completely believable. It was cute, but slightly underdeveloped.
Lastly, I couldn’t quite get behind Elisabeth as a heroine, and I’m not sure why. She was somewhat likable, for sure. Very brave, determined, etc. But she was a little…hard-headed? I’m having trouble putting my feelings into words. I guess I felt like there was a subtle feminist message that made Elisabeth a little pushy and not fully lovable. I can’t put it any better, she just wasn’t my favorite character. I didn’t hate her, but I didn’t love her.

Following Good

This one was fairly clean. No language, and pretty minor sexual content. Minimal LGBT content, although it was a main character. No religious content.

Rating

So, I liked aspects of Sorcery of Thorns, but it wasn’t a standout for me. 3 stars. I’m going to have to re-read An Enchantment of Ravens to see if it is as good as I remember. Any excuse for a re-read, lol.

Hope you guys have a good end to your week! Talk to you tomorrow about unicorn books (yes, that was a strange post to write, lol).
Happy reading,
Hayden

WWW Wednesday 3/17/21

Happy Wednesday, guys! I’m glad it’s hump day. This is just a week that is dragging for me, lol. I’m having to write a paper about the evolution of Superman…which for some reason is proving to be difficult for me. Anyway, on to fun stuff: books! WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On a World Of Words.

What I Just Finished

So, I did finish Soul of the Sword by Julie Kagawa this week, and I enjoyed it (although not quite as much as Shadow of the Fox).

But a bit of a surprise was An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson. I started and finished this one this week, which isn’t very impressive because it’s only 300 pages. I’ve read this one before, but I loved the re-read! I forgot how much I loved this one. 😊

What I Am Currently Reading

I am still finishing up Covet by Tracy Wolff, but I’ve just got a little over 100 pages left. For a book that is almost 700 pages, I feel pretty near the end. 😂 This is definitely a junk food novel, but I am enjoying it.

I am also still finishing The Infinity Courts by Akemi Dawn Bowman, and I’m pretty close to the end of that one as well (90%). I think it explores some fascinating themes, but dang, it is a bit dark for me.

I started Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban as an audiobook, which I’m enjoying so far. I also started Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan, which I’ve read before, but I’m excited about my re-read. An Enchantment of Ravens reminded me how much I love re-reading things. 😊

What I Want to Read Next

I know I chose Night of the Dragon last week, but I really mean it this time. Unless I get majorly side tracked, this is next on my list! I really want to finish this series soon.

Well, I guess that is it for this week. How has your week been? Reading anything awesome? Hope the rest of your week goes well!
Happy reading,
Hayden💚

My Spring 2021 TBR

Hey guys, happy Tuesday! Is your week going well so far? And can you believe it is half way through March? 2021 is flying by. But I’m very glad it’s spring! One of my favorite seasons. Anyway, as you probably know, Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. This week we get to talk about our spring TBR list.

1. Red Winter Trilogy by Annette Marie

Perhaps listing the entire trilogy as one entry is a bit of a cheat. But it’s fine. I read these last year, but I want to re-read them for a little Japanese mythology series I want to do this spring. I’m very excited for the re-read, because these are so good!

2. The Shadow and Bone trilogy by Leigh Bardugo

Well, my reasoning for this one is pretty obvious. I read the Six of Crows duology earlier this year, and the trilogy is next. Of course I want to be ready for the Netflix series coming out.. (yaaaay)

3. Empress of All Seasons by Emiko Jean

This one is also for my Japanese mythology series, and I’m excited! It looks really cool, and I appreciate that it’s a standalone. I have a lot of series on my list right now, lol.

4. An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson

I just read Sorcery of Thorns, and it got me in the mood for a re-read of this one. Let’s see if I like it as much as I did the first time around!

5. From Blood and Ash by Jennifer Armentrout

I’ve heard a lot of great things about this one, and I’m excited to try it! I already own it, but I made the mistake of loaning it to my sister first….so whenever she finishes it is when I’ll get to start it, lol.

6. House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas

This is another one I’ve heard a lot about and am excited to try. I blame bookstagram for this purchase, honestly. How am I supposed to resist that cover?

7. The Folk of the Air trilogy by Holly Black

I’ve read these, but it’s been a while…and I’m pretty sure I just skimmed the last book. Don’t hate me. That’s why I’m re-reading, lol.

8. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

Two Sarah J. Maas books on this list! Exciting. 🙂 Buddy reading this whole series with a friend of mine, but I probably won’t start it until May.

9. Sing Me Forgotten by Jessica S. Olsen

I just saw that my library got the audiobook for this one, so I’m thinking I’ll listen to it after I get through another Harry Potter. I’m always interested in Phantom of the Opera retellings.

10. The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare

I’m probably being ambitious putting this on the list, but I’m hoping to start it in May. We shall see. 🙂

Ok, that’s it! I’m not sure I’ll finish all of these, but I’m going to see how many I can get through. If I can’t finish them all in the spring, definitely this summer! Anyway, I’m pretty excited about this list. 🙂 What’s on your spring TBR??
Happy reading,

Mansfield Park: a Classics Review

Happy Monday, guys! Sadly, it is back to school for me, lol, but I really enjoyed my spring break. Did you have a good weekend? Got anything fun going on this week? Anyway, on to the review!

Summary

Adopted into the household of her uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, Fanny Price grows up a meek outsider among her cousins in the unaccustomed elegance of Mansfield Park. Soon after Sir Thomas absents himself on estate business in Antigua (the family’s investment in slavery and sugar is considered in the Introduction in a new, post-colonial light), Mary Crawford and her brother Henry arrive at Mansfield, bringing with them London glamour, and the seductive taste for flirtation and theatre that precipitates a crisis. (from Goodreads)

Review

So, I’m back with another Jane Austen. I promise my next classic will branch out a little, but I was in a bit of an Austen mood over my winter break, and Mansfield Park is one of my favorites. And yes, I’m a bit late putting this review up, lol. Again, I’ll give my standard classic review disclaimer: I am by no means a literature expert. I just like what I like. So, on to my thoughts about Mansfield Park.

From what I can tell, Mansfield Park is actually one of most people’s least favorite Jane Austen novels. I think this is partially because Mansfield Park is one of the slower, longer Austen novels, but mainly, I think it is because of Fanny Price.

Fanny is a very unique heroine. She is very quiet and gentle. She doesn’t make sassy remarks or push her own desires onto other people. She is selfless and grateful. However, she is also very timid. She gets embarrassed easily. She’s very sensitive, and all of these qualities make her a difficult character to understand or empathize with in the twenty-first century, in my opinion. I certainly don’t know many young women like her. But honestly, that’s what I like about her. She may not be obviously strong or clever or interesting, but she is good and true. She stands up for her principles, even when it’s hard and upsetting for her. And yes, clever and strong protagonists, like Lizzie Bennet, are much easier to read about. But there is just something about Fanny I like. She has good qualities I wish I had, but she still seems so human. However, I can see that she wouldn’t be a heroine that everyone would love.

Also, the “villains” of this story are so intriguing. Mary and Henry Crawford are selfish and spoiled and have very questionable morals. However, they’re not evil. You don’t hate them. In fact, I think the Crawfords are probably more relatable than Fanny herself, in some ways. But they make such great foils to Fanny and Edmund (her cousin). Where Fanny and Edmund are considerate and wholesome and old-fashioned, Mary and Henry are self-centered and frivolous and fashionable. It makes Mansfield Park a picture of morals and family that is so interesting to me, regardless of how many times I re-read it.

Okay, I could probably go on and on about this. But since the characters are really what sell this for me, I’ll leave it at that. I don’t think this is the easiest Austen book to read (it is pretty long), but it is definitely worth a read if you can make the time!

Following Good

This is a Jane Austen book, which means it is squeaky clean and emphasizes morality. No language, no LGBT characters, no sexual content. Christian religious content, but it’s not preachy or emphasized. More like Christian morals are woven into the story.

Rating

I love this one, although maybe not quite as much as Persuasion. 4.5 stars.

Hope you guys are doing well! Have you read any Jane Austen books? Have a favorite?
Happy reading,
Hayden

Flashback Friday: Friends to Lovers Novels

Happy Friday guys! How has your week been? Done anything fun this week? We’ve been camping at a lake, so that’s been fun! I love spring weather. Anyway, Flashback Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Maya @ Her Bookish Desires, where we get to talk about oldie but goodie books. This week’s theme is actually about books with our favorite tropes, but friends-to-lovers is one of my favorite, if not my all-time favorite trope, so I thought I’d bend the rules a little. 🙂

Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine

This one isn’t really a romance novel, but the romance is very sweet, slow, and friends to lovers. They end up being pen pals, and it is so adorable.

Splintered by A.G. Howard

Splintered has a childhood friends to lovers romance, and it is so cute and intense. Honestly, I guess there are two separate childhood friends who become love interests, and they’re both very sweet.

The Girl With The Borrowed Wings by Rinsai Rossetti

Ugh, I love this one! The romance is very slow burn, and I love watching their friendship develop and then become something more.

Well, I guess that is it for this week. Hope you guys have an awesome weekend! What is your favorite trope? Do you have a favorite friends to lovers novel?
Happy reading!
Hayden

Wicked Fox by Kat Cho: a Review

Happy Thursday! Are you guys having a good week? Ready for the weekend? I’ve been on spring break this week, so honestly…I’d rather the week last a little longer, lol. Ah well. All good things must come to an end.

Summary Info

Eighteen-year-old Gu Miyoung has a secret–she’s a gumiho, a nine-tailed fox who must devour the energy of men in order to survive. Because so few believe in the old tales anymore, and with so many evil men no one will miss, the modern city of Seoul is the perfect place to hide and hunt.

But after feeding one full moon, Miyoung crosses paths with Jihoon, a human boy, being attacked by a goblin deep in the forest. Against her better judgment, she violates the rules of survival to rescue the boy, losing her fox bead–her gumiho soul–in the process.

Jihoon knows Miyoung is more than just a beautiful girl–he saw her nine tails the night she saved his life. His grandmother used to tell him stories of the gumiho, of their power and the danger they pose to humans. He’s drawn to her anyway.

With murderous forces lurking in the background, Miyoung and Jihoon develop a tenuous friendship that blossoms into something more. But when a young shaman tries to reunite Miyoung with her bead, the consequences are disastrous . . . forcing Miyoung to choose between her immortal life and Jihoon’s. (from Goodreads)

• Title: Wicked Fox
• Author: Kat Cho
• Publisher:  G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers
• Publish date: June 25, 2019
• Series: Gumiho, book #1

Review

Ok, very mixed feelings about this one. Let’s get into the pros first.

The Pros: I am a big fan of Kdramas, so when I found out that this was set in Seoul and focused on Korean mythology, I was so excited! And I did really enjoy hearing about Seoul, Korean culture, and the Korean myths. In fact, reading (kind of) Korean words and learning more about Korean culture was definitely the highlight of Wicked Fox for me.
I also did really like Jihoon. He’s a cute, cheeky little brat, but I liked him. I enjoyed the supporting characters too, although they didn’t have a ton of development.

The Cons: So, my pros kind of have flip sides. I did really enjoy the Korean culture, language, and mythology. But I do wish there had been a little more to the fantasy development. We got some historical flashbacks about the history of the gumihos, which was neat, and we (EVENTUALLY) learned about gumiho’s beads. But seriously, what is described in the summary took about half the book. I was expecting more, but that was basically all there was to the fantasy. Which was a little disappointing.
Now, the characters. I’m not sure about Miyoung as a heroine, or her and Jihoon as a couple. She was kind of a jerk to him for quite a while, and then they were (very briefly) friends, and then they loved each other? But why? I just didn’t get it, and even though it took half the book, I never felt very invested in their feelings for each other. I also felt conflicted about Miyoung. I didn’t hate her, and at times I pitied her, but I also couldn’t fully understand or root for her.
Lastly, the plot. Like I mentioned, there was mainly the summary information, which took about half the book. The rest of the book was spent in twists and drama that didn’t make a ton of sense and seemed to be present solely for the purpose of drama. The ending was so-so, kind of bittersweet with only mediocre resolution.

Following Good

Wicked Fox was fairly clean. No clear LGBT content, no language, minimal sexual content. The religious content mainly focused on shamans, but also included Taoism and other brief mentions of some traditionally eastern religions. Christianity was present in only one character, and I found it a little frustrating that it ended up being a villain. The other religious characters were more morally gray.

Rating

I didn’t dislike this one, but it was a little disappointing and meh. 2.5 stars. The sequel that just came out is about some of the supporting characters, so I was tempted to check it out, but I think I’m going to pass on it. I just wasn’t invested enough in this series to continue it.

Hope the rest of your week goes well!
Happy reading,
Hayden
