Spell of Winter | 
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

Anyone else read this?
I‘m 3 chapters in and I‘m not sold and reviews seem to be mixed across the board…
Not sure whether to keep going or DNF 🥴
My life is too busy and hectic to waste time reading books that don‘t capture my interest…. 😬
pickInteresting story, beautifully written with appealing characters. A soft pick.

panA gothic tale with murder, madness, and sex. It was a disappointing read for me. I just did not get what the author was saying with this novel. 2 🌟 read for me.
bailedI don't know what it is, but me and Helen Dunmore just don't seem to get on with each other. This is a DNF for me. 😒
This edition by Penguin is so tiny! Which means the type inside is pretty small. Wonder how my eyes are going to feel after reading this 👀
This is my overly ambitious #stack for this weekends #LitsyPartyOfOne & #24B4Monday #readathon In honour of @MrBook milestone of over 1,000,000 litfluence Hosted by the below tagged people, it going to be a weekend of books, snacks, prize drawings & lots & lots of tea. Come join us if you can!
#BookMail Pt3 This one was an impulse buy after seeing it on @SavidgeReads booktube channel. It sounded perfect for this time of year, a turn of the century story of a brother & sister who after being abandoned by their parents, grow up isolated in a decaying mansion in the woods. It has a strong “Flowers In The Attic” vibe with the growing relationship between siblings who have nobody else to turn to. So trigger warning for incest.

pickSo I'm not sure how to review this book. This is really immersive and the writing is beautiful but I can see why some people don't like it. It won the first ever what was called at the time orange prize. This is a book if you like a gothic type novel set in a crumbling house that is really claustrophobic. Will say though there is incest and this isn't a comfortable book in any way. But it is worth a read if you like that style of writing
pickA Spell of Winter was exactly as I thought in terms of the sentiment in the book, but it was NOTHING like I expected in terms of the plot. Have you read it? What did you think about Catherine and Rob?
