The Splendour Falls | 
pickAnother Kearsley book, as these are my easy comfort reads, and reading 10 minutes at a time while nursing requires easy book‘s to get into 😄🤱🏻👶🏼
This one was more like a current day mystery based on a historical past, similar to A Season of Storms. I enjoyed the relationships the character made, though I felt like her growth was forced and not fully worked through. Enjoyable story and memorable characters.
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
pickI do enjoy Susanna Kearsley‘s books! ❤️ #howjessreadsin2019
I actually started this book a while back, then set it aside, but I counted it amongst the unread when I recently inventoried my bookcase, so I'm ready to go ahead and finish it now, before I begin another series.
Tea, warm blanket, kitty, and book. ❤ Not too bad for a Monday night. #littenkitten #catsoflitsy
After Salvage the Bones, I needed something light to read. Susanna Kearsley is more escapist than literary, but I think her writing is wonderfully descriptive. You can tell a lot of research goes into the writing of each novel.
pickThis was a super cozy and nice read. I loved the main characters and the story was entertaining. It had so much to keep me turning the pages and i really enjoyed it!
panIt pains me to say that this book was really boring. Kearsley is a beautiful writer, but this was about 90% description and pointless, uninteresting dialogue, and 10% thin plot. This was written in 1997, which I didn't realize until halfway through the book. It explains the lack of character communication (that a simple phone call would fix) and also demonstrates how much better Kearsley has gotten over the years.
Adding audio books to my player old school style. I still use a first generation iPod Nano and an off line Dell Windows XP computer. Hey it still works, and considering how fast technology moves by the time I can get something new it will be outdated in 5 seconds. Yes, I still use A VCR and a audio tape player. If I had a Betamax I would probably use that too.
And lastly. These are the audio books I got today. I am rather excited about these.
Reading this bundle of fun. Light, mysterious, and lots of Chinon, France + a dead queen and vineyard and hot men= win for me tonight!
