An enlightened 4.5 stars from me for this wonderful book. Land Girls collects the experiences and memories of over 300 ex-land girls talking about what they did, how they did it and why. It‘s a wonderful and engaging read that shares some of the history of WWII that we very rarely hear about.

Time to get that essential before bed relaxation started. It‘s a ritual for me to read for 2-3 hours before I go to sleep each night. Sometimes it‘s much longer but very rarely less. I have done this since I was a child. I find it relaxing and it keeps my mind and emotions in check - especially after stressful days! What reading rituals do you have?? #history #nonfiction #WWII #bookblogger #booklover #bookish #bibliophile #landgirls

Reading this book makes me long to be out in the garden making the flowers bloom and attracting the bees and birds. I wish summer would hurry up and these snow warnings would go away until winter. It‘s so amazing to read these stories of actual land girls and their genuine memories and experiences. My dream is to be able to write something like this myself one day. Share history with the world. #history #landgirls #nonfiction #bookish #bookblogger

Wow. This book is so interesting and so readable. I managed to devour five chapters in the bath and am now seven chapters in and almost halfway through. Why is it that I find nonfiction much more compulsively readable than any kind of fiction? I really don‘t know. I need snacks to continue this surprise relaxing evening. #history #nonfiction #landgirls #WWII #bookblogger #bookaddict #bookish #bibliophile #booklover

Emilymdxn You‘re making me wish I had snacks now too 😛 7y

Bath time reading. I actually adore reading in the bath. It‘s so therapeutic and relaxing 😌 I really really need to invest in a Readers bathboard so I can safely bring a mug of tea with me for ultimate relaxation. So... is reading in the bath for you? 🛀 #bookishbath #bookish #history #nonfiction #WWII #landgirls #bibliophile #bookblogger

Emilymdxn I‘m currently typing this from the bath! Reading in the bath is honestly my favourite activity in the world 7y
alisiakae 🤚🤚🤚 Me too! Especially in the winter. 7y
Sophoclessweetheart @4thhouseontheleft @Emilymdxn I am honestly so very glad I decided to leave IG and move here permanently. I‘ve noticed already that the people here are not only 1000x kinder and more social but you also understand the simple joys of reading for pleasure (in the bath!) rather than reading for hype or likes. 💛💛💛 7y

Emilymdxn @Wanderingwithwords I feel just the same! I‘m very new here and just blown away by how healthy it all is, it‘s so good for me and the people are amazing 7y
Sophoclessweetheart @Emilymdxn I couldn‘t agree more. I‘m not technically new because I made my account shortly after Litsy was opened but I never posted anything and kind of forgot about it. Then with all the negativity and the Zuckerburg controversy I decided to stop using IG and my friend reminded me of Litsy so I moved here instead. I‘ve only been here a week though since then. So I‘m kind of “new” 😹💛 7y
Emilymdxn @Wanderingwithwords I‘m glad we ‘met‘ them! I‘m enjoying meeting new people and other people who are new to this 7y
Sophoclessweetheart @Emilymdxn Me too! You have a lovely taste in literature! 💛💛😊 7y

My next read is going to be Land Girls by Joan Mant. This is a nonfiction and one I‘ve been looking forward to reading for a while now. I have a couple of nonfiction books on the Land Girls so it‘ll be nice to finally make a dent in them. Has anyone read this one? #history #nonfiction #WWII #landgirls #joanmant #britishhistory #booklover #bookblogger #bookish #bibliophile

I‘ve finished all my books and am now at that awkward time between books where there‘s so many to choose from. These are my top three priority nonfiction TBR books but I have a lot of fiction I want to get to too. Decisions decisions! What are you reading? #booklover #bookstagram #bookaddict #bookreviewer #bookblogger #prettybooks #prettycovers #bookish #readwomen

laurieluna Currently got Colour of Magic on the go for #ookbookclub, and The Crowns of Croswald. Goblins of Bellwater on kindle for those late night reading times. 🙈 7y
Sophoclessweetheart @miralunasbooknook Ahh! Colour of Magic 😁💛 I‘ve been watching the film repeatedly lately. 7y
