Greek Child's Play

Published in 1945 by Little Brown & Company, Adventures with the Gods by Catharine Sellew and illustrated by George and Doris Hauman is a charming primer created for young children. It contains sixteen stories featuring the heroes of Greek mythology as well as the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus. The book even includes a handy index of all the characters' names and how to pronounce them. This delightful collection of stories provides an accessible introduction to the fascinating world of Greek mythology, making it an enchanting read for both children and adults.

Catharine Sellew, an American author, has a talent for turning ancient myths and legends into children's stories. Written using simple language and ideas, her stories create an almost fairytale-like experience for readers. It's no surprise that her works are captivating and beloved by many.

George and Doris Hauman were a married couple and American children’s book illustrators. They are perhaps most well-known for illustrating the popular 1954 edition of The Little Engine That Could. The couple decided to collaborate on projects because they had so many customers in common. They also used a joint signature for all of their illustrations.

Starting in 2017, the New York Times partnered with the New York Public Library in selecting these titles. To reflect this change, the name of the award changed to "The New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children’s Books Award."

And the award winners are:

Farmhouse by Sophie Blackall

Blog Tour Spotlight: THE THIRD DAUGHTER by Adrienne Tooley! #tbrbeyondtours

Welcome to Book-Keeping and my stop on the TBR and Beyond Tours blog tour for The Third Daughter by Adrienne Tooley, the first in a planned duology! I’ve got all the details on this witchy, sapphic YA fantasy for you below!

About the Book

title: The Third Daughter author: Adrienne Tooley publisher: Christy Ottaviano Books release date: 18 July 2023

A sweeping YA fantasy about legacy, betrayal, sisterhood, and politicizing emotion in the quest for power—all balanced by a slow-burn LGBTQ romance.

For centuries, the citizens of Velle have waited for their New Maiden to return. The prophecy states she will appear as the third daughter of a third daughter. When the fabled child is finally born to Velle’s reigning queen all rejoice except for Elodie, the queen’s eldest child, who has lost her claim to the crown. The only way for Elodie to protect Velle is to retake the throne. To do so, she must debilitate the Third Daughter—her youngest sister, Brianne.

Desperate, Elodie purchases a sleeping potion from Sabine, who sells sadness. But the apothecary mistakenly sends the princess away with a vial of tears instead of a harmless sleeping brew. Sabine’s sadness is dangerously powerful, and Brianne slips into a slumber from which she will not wake. With the fates of their families and country hanging in the balance, Sabine and Elodie hurry to revive the Third Daughter while a slow-burning attraction between the two girls erupts in full force.

A must-read for fans of the BookTok sensations Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson, and These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong.

Seven Faceless Saints by M. K. Lobb is a dark but exciting debut

Seven Faceless Saints is a dark but exciting debut novel from M. K. Lobb. It takes a bit to get into the story, but this is because we spend the first portion of the book weaving into and out of two very traumatized main characters’ minds. Once we understand their world and their traumas a bit, the story takes off into one of revenge, power, religion, and war. It is a story that feels familiar…

Belladonna | Can't-Wait Wednesday

Belladonna | Can’t-Wait Wednesday

Why am I waiting on this title? Death is one of my favourite topics to read about and I adore even more when he’s personified. Signa has had a lot of experience with death over her young life and now that she has to protect her new family she will have to team up with the dark shadow that has been haunting her for her entire life.
