Over at Booknest.eu I posted my review of The Bear and the Nightingale, a very strong debut by Katherine Arden
“A new take on an old tale… Scratch that. A new take on a lot of old tales. Cold winters are a fertile ground for stories to be told around the fire. And even as the people in Pyotr’s village practice Christianity they still take heed of the old stories. It is into this life that young Vasha is born; her birth the dying wish of her enigmatic mother. She grows up on the stories and has no need to believe in them because she can see the truth on her own. Vasha is a wild girl, beloved by her family but never quite understood. “
I’m glad you’re back blogging again! I’m not sure what “booknest” is, another blog? But hey, very cool. And a book I definitely have my eye on.

Yes. Booknest is a newer collaborative blog I was invited to join. Has a good following and I don’t have to run it! Lets me review at a more leisurely pace than before.

I was wondering what booknest was too. I’m going to have to look through that site more too.
