It’s about that time, friends. When the air turns crisp and the leaves change color and it becomes acceptable to eat warm apple desserts. AHHH, FALL. That first chill in the air and the first hints of smoke coming from someone’s fireplace reminded me of the woods; it just seems like a really vibrant, autumnal place. So this month’s Nookish, in honor of the first day of fall, is all about the woods.
THE WOLF WILDER | This book just has so much that attracts me: wolves, middle grade, mother-daughter dynamics, wolves, Russia, and of course, the woods. In this story, Feodora lives in the woods in Russia with her mother training wolves to return to the wild. But then the Russian Revolution starts (HELLO!! I LOVE THIS) and things get wonky. Excited for this one.
SNOW WHITE AND ROSE RED | YAY Elizabethan fae! I read this book last year with my girls, and I really enjoyed it. It’s a great retelling of this Snow White and Rose Red fairy tale, and it comes complete with magical woods!
THE MAY QUEEN MURDERS | I’m excited for this one guys! It doesn’t come out for a little while, but it’s got this fantastic creepy vibe, which is probably obvious given the “murder” in the title. But more apropos for this Nookish, the synopsis mentions secrets and woods, so here it is. Love the sound of this one.
