Like butter! Beautiful words and sentences. Other sentences like keeping windows closed "perhaps to keep despair locked inside." Happy with my choice to reach for this one from my (Kobo) shelf. ?

Because the covers are all so lovely, here's a snapshot of what I'm #CurrentlyReading. The Woman on the Orient Express is audio. The other two are e-books.
I swear bookdepository.com is trying to annoy my hubby deliberately. When your order comes one book at a time, it makes it look like a much bigger spend than it really is.🤦🏼♀️Today's #bookmail is another Dame Agatha & an Australian author, set in post war Sydney, a #blameitonlitsy purchase. Plus a beautiful bookmark. I'm really loving this set. #SmileItsBookmas🎄#christiescrimeclub
November had its ups and downs, I'm actually surprised I got this much reading in. Hoping for a lot more time to read in December 🙏
Prize for #bestofnovember goes to The Sparrows of Edward Street, a hidden gem that I only picked up because of the #photoadaynov16 challenge. Another case of #blameitonlitsy !!
pickFeisty heroine, fallen on hard times, determined to make the best of things. It's the premise for Sense & Sensibility, Cold Comfort Farm and Little Women, among others. And it's a winner, if not very original.
Aria Sparrow is an original though! Full of sass and wit, meddling in her neighbours lives and plotting to get her family out of the Sydney slum they're forced to live in after father Sparrow's death 'during the war'.
Great read! 👍👍
TFW you comb your shelves looking for #headlesscovers for #photoadaynov16 challenge, find a book that you've owned for years but have never read, you skim the first 10 pages and discover that it is AWESOME ?? This is moving up the TBR with a bullet!
Quote for all the Aussies: "she felt like a crushed Sao biscuit at the bottom of a tin of assorted creams" ?
