Break it Down: Prequel - The Luddite Rebellion (Wales Rising Book 1)

MamaBee recommends:

A Touch of Darkness

by Scarlett St Clair | Buy this book

It’s a retelling of Hades and Persephone. It has a modern touch and is filled with self discovery, romance, magic and just enough of Persephone being a badass.

Jos (Darlington)

I enjoy reading most genres. Enjoy library visits. Looking to meet new people who enjoy reading also.

Jos recommends:

Rebecca

by Daphne Du Maurier | Buy this book

Has the intrigue and mystery, colourful characters and through the eyes of a young woman whose name is never mentioned who is expected to live up to the previous mistress. It’s full of sunshine and love but very dark also

BookDemon136 (Durham)

I am 23 years old recently graduated and I love reading books a lot. I am a moody reader and would read anything that springs my fancy however I am also an avid romance reader so would love to just be in community where I can discuss and share all my love for the genre.
