Hello everyone!!
July is almost over and we are getting into August. As you might have guessed it, it is time for my monthly reading wrap up.
In July I read five books (3 ebooks and 2 physical books) and the three of them were ARCs.
The Tangleroot Palace: Stories by Marjorie M. Liu
This is a collection of short stories with a novella at the end. It was published by Tachyon Publications on June 15th 2021.
This was the first time I read anything from Marjorie Liu and I really enjoyed her writing style. I really liked the stories as well, some of them more than others. I liked that almost all the stories had strong female protagonists , who were resourceful.
The stories were magical and haunting at the same time, with beautiful world building and from the majority of them I wanted more.

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Real-Life Tales of Black Girl Magic (Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls) by Lilly Workneh (Editor)
I really like this series of stories about rebel girls. They are always very inspiring and at the same time informative. Every time I read a collection like this I am amazed by all the incredible things women can do if they want to.
Highly recommend it for younger and older readers alike.

Release Date: September 28th
The Ancient World: Ideas in Profile by Jerry Toner
This is a small non-fiction book about the ancient world and more specifically about Rome and Greece. It was published originally in 2015 by Profile Books and I read its Greek translation (Maria Fakinou translator) by Patakis Publications.
It was pretty interesting to read as it introduced a new perspective to the Ancient World and the study of it. The author's writing style and though was easy to follow.
This book is a good introduction for beginners and also for more advanced readers in the subject.
It is also a quick read as it is only 160 pages.

A Torch Against the Night (An Ember in the Ashes #2) by Sabaa Tahir
The second book in the series was even better than the first one. It was more action packed and full of emotions. I love the characters and their development. I also liked the unexpected plot twist and I cannot wait to read the next book.
Rating: 5 Stars
Review to come pretty soon.
A Dance with the Fae Prince (Married to Magic #2) by Elise Kova
This is the first time I read anything by Elise Kova and I couldn't be happier.
I loved the story and the characters. The romance between the main characters is slow but beautifully written.
I also really enjoy the world building and I think I will read the first book in this world to find out more.
By the way, you don't have to read book 1 to enjoy this one. They are standalones just in the same world.
Rating: 5 Stars
My review will come later in August.
Release Date: August 19th
That's it for this month. Let's see what August will bring readingwise.
See you in the next post and don't forget to keep reading!!!
