Spell the Month in Books: May 2022

Hey all!

Nichijou, Calendar

Welcome by my favourite month of Spell the Month, welcome to May!

Yep, May is by far my favourite month, haha. I just need to find three books. Sure, the Y can give some trouble as I have to have an English book in my possession that has that, otherwise I will have to think up something else. XD This month was an easy month! I found three books easily and I am delighted I can share them with you. This month I got three books that are on my TBR. Two are on my vacation TBR (it isn’t until August, but I want to have books ready) and one is a book I got from the author and I need to read it ASAP.

How it often goes: First up I will show you guys a picture of my stack and after that I will show the book covers + blurb (for the Dutch-Dutch books I translated the blurb for you , for the English>Dutch translated books or English books I picked the original blurb).

The original creator of this tag is Reviews From The Stacks!

Mot en de metaalvissers by Sanne Rooseboom (Goodreads Author), Sophie Pluim , Dutch, Children's Book, MysteryThe week that Mot found a submarine started off fairly normal. That wasn’t so crazy. A lot still had to be done before her big find. She didn’t even have a magnet yet.

Moth is actually called Butterfly. But only her mother calls her. She would prefer a tidy, airy child in a dress. Moth is not like that. Mot likes black clothes and the old, cluttered city she grew up in. Out of defiance, she buys a magnet from her savings to fish in the old canal. She finds a small, rusty submarine. That submarine is the start of a grand adventure, where Mot meets the punk acrobats of De Werf, takes on a powerful billionaire and gets to know her mother better.

The story does not take place in our world, Mot’s city is a bit more rusty and older. It has become a thick adventure book, a youth novel the publisher calls it beautiful. About being yourself, about the fringes of a city and about how mothers and daughters sometimes get in each other’s way.
