  (I made this in Canva and the pic of the book was found on Google Images) This is the third installment of the Mary series by Cynthia Hand, Brodie Ashton, and Jodi Meadows! My Salty Mary is a historical fantasy story where The Little Mermaid doesn't actually turn into sea foam after the man she loves weds another woman. She, now living as a human named Mary Read, instead decides to disguise herself as a man and join a pirate crew. She eventually works her way up from cabinboy to captain, and joins a contest to be the next Pirate King (One Piece reference maybe😂???) after the most notorious pirate Blackbeard dies. Mary deals with many other things along the way, such as being torn between her new life as a human and a former mermaid (especially when her father, the Sea King, wants her to come back home), dealing with a new found love with Tobias (who is her navigator and one of Blackbeard's sons). At the same time, Mary's cousin Jack (his mother is the Sea Witch, who is ...

  Welcome to part 9 of my ongoing series of books I don't see talked enough about online! I hope you like these books, too. Links to Goodreads summaries will be provided.  You can check out previous parts here: Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 , Part 4 , Part 5 , Part 6 , Part 7 , Part 8 1. Chasing Redbird by Sharon Creech . A sentimental tale of a girl who tries to heal her family from their problems when she uncovers a hidden trail leading from her town to the next town over. Also deals with her first crush on a boy who may or may not like her back.  2. Serafina series by Robert Beatty (link takes you to the first book). A fascinating historical fantasy series of an eccentric girl and her best friend solving mysteries in and around the Biltmore estate in Asheville, North Carolina. I personally recommend reading just the first 3 books. Book 4 doesn't add much.  3. The Story Girl by LM Montgomery . A cozy, slice of life book set on Prince Edward Island in Canada of two br...

  I love anything Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows put out! My Imaginary Mary is about two young women. They are fictionalized versions of Mary Shelley (here she isn't married yet, so her last name is Godwin) and Ada Lovelace.  Mary loves to write and comes from a literary family, but hasn't been feeling very inspired lately. She's also in love with one of her father's apprentices, Percy Shelley. Ada loves math, science, and inventing things, but does not get along well with her mother.  The two girls find out from one of Ada's tutors, Ms. Stamp, that they are fae. Not fairies! Fae in this world have the ability to magically create anything with just the right tools and their minds. Well, Mary's fae powers awakened first, Ada has trouble with hers. Together, they create Pan, a talking humanoid robot who can move and perform many tasks just like a regular human.  However, a mad scientist finds out about Pan, and he want to pass off the girls' in...

This is the first book of the Mary series. Written by the same authors who wrote the Lady Janies series.  This is a historical fantasy book inspired the the life of Mary, Queen of Scots (our titular Mary) and Francis II (her husband), and other real life historical figures at the time that they worked with or were related to. Mary and Francis are two of our POV characters, still told in third person. There are also some made-up brand new characters related to real historical figures, and one of them is our third POV, Ari. She is the daughter of the famed psychic and apothecary Nostradamus. Ari is not super good at being a psychic, but she is a good apothecary. It takes place in the same world as My Lady Jane , the first book of the Mary series, where everyone is either and Ethian (someone who can turn into an animal) or a Verity (those who cannot turn into animals). The Ethians and the Verities are always in conflicts with each other. In Scotland where our titular Mary is from, a...

  Another great historical fantasy book that is the third installment of the Lady Janies series! My Calamity Jane follows the perspective of 3 characters: Calamity Jane, Annie Oakley, and Frank Butler (all told in 3rd person POV). They are part of Buffalo Bill's traveling sharpshooter show, and they also track down garou,  aka people who are werewolves. One day while fighting a group of garou in a factory, Jane gets bitten by one and so she becomes a garou herself, which is a problem because she thinks her and her mates have a disdain for garou. Except Frank is secretly one himself. Annie does have a disdain for garou at first because she used to work for a family of one and they treated her terribly, but then when she meets other people who are garou and eventually finds out Frank (whom she has a crush on) and Jane are garou, her opinion eventually changes. Jane finds an ad in a newspaper about a cure for garou, and she goes out farther west of the country to find who is givi...
