Continuation of a grand adventure. Wonderful writing and a compelling story. Can't wait to read the third book.

This was great. Historical fiction with great characters and a real sense of time and place. Ended on a BIG cliff hanger so can‘t wait for the next one (though I probably will have forgotten the cliff hanger by then).
Not sure if this counts for #seriesread2021 it‘s the second in a trilogy!?

JenniferEgnor I‘ve thought about reading her books. I love the covers, the titles, and the plots sound so interesting. 4y

MsMelissa Good to know it‘s part of a trilogy. The release date of the final book will hep me to determine when to read the first one! 4y

TrishB @JenniferEgnor I have loved all her books! 4y

TrishB @Book_Fiend_Melissa took me about 25% to remember the first one! 4y

I‘m hoping just to read today (not that there are many other things on option tbh!).

charl08 Sounds good to me. 4y

Cathythoughts Enjoy ❤️ 4y

BarbaraBB No other options here either. Reading, working, walking. We now even have a curfew. My kids are getting really frustrated. 😬 4y

Cathythoughts @BarbaraBB it‘s so hard on kids 4y

TrishB @BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts I would hate to be 15-25 at the moment, when your life should be full of fun and you‘re stuck inside with your parents. Barbara- where there people roaming the streets at night?? It‘s all seems very hard this time. 3rd lockdown and no end in sight. 4y

TrishB @charl08 it‘s a good job really! 4y

BarbaraBB As far as I know not really. I live in the center of Amsterdam and it is very quiet here at night. Our government keeps looking for additional restrictions instead of vaccinating. So frustrating. How are things in Liverpool? 4y

TrishB I thought vaccinations were going ok, but now there‘s questions about the gaps between them. I have no faith in the govt but really want this to work. @BarbaraBB (edited) 4y

I‘d forgotten about the Mosse book until I got the notification as I had on pre-order! And encouragement from @Caroline2 for the other one.

Caroline2 I‘m such an enabler!!! 😆 I seriously need to stop looking up amazon book deals now! 🤦‍♀️ but so glad you‘re joining in the February buddy read! 😉 👍 4y

JillR I really loved Any Human Heart ❤️ There‘s also a TV mini series which I loved too, on Channel 4/More 4 I think... 4y

Reviewsbylola What a nice mail day! 4y

TrishB @Caroline2 excited too 😁 4y

TrishB @JillR that‘s good to know! The chances of me watching the series is pretty thin though 😁 4y

TrishB @Reviewsbylola it definitely was. 4y

#audiowalk yesterday to the little post office that‘s open on a Saturday afternoon. We‘ve had cruise liners parked in the bay for months now, but it still looks SO Weird to see the Queen Mary 2 hovering above your town!

The book‘s an ARC, out January. Took me a while to get into, but I‘m totally absorbed now. It‘s long, though!

Cathythoughts Beautiful picture 4y

rockpools @Cathythoughts Thank you 😊. 4y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Seaside towns are so cozy and beautiful to me (unless there‘s a Sandy occurring) but in normal storms, it‘s still cozy. Love this. I think that‘s so cool to see the QM out there. I‘m not sure if she passes my way, but she looks familiar (I‘m off Sandy Hook, NJ) We used to have ships sailing by on Sunday and Monday evenings (I believe) def Sunday, not 100% sure about Monday. The planes have calmed down too. It‘s weird, but I like it. 4y

rockpools @JanuarieTimewalker13 I‘ve always been a winter-seaside-town person - big coat, empty beach and I‘m happy! We were seeing maybe 4 or 5 cruise liners a year going past into Torbay or Dartmouth (Devon, UK) but they‘ve been ‘mothballed‘ here most of the summer - currently 3 in the bay here & 4 more just round the next headland in Torbay. It‘s quite odd! 4y

JanuarieTimewalker13 I want to see your part of England so badly...especially after seeing @Andrew65 photos!! Breath taking!! Yes the seaside in the winter is wonderful!! 4y

Andrew65 So surreal! 4y

Starting #CYOreadathon right this month with an early morning walk and an audioARC. My goal is simply to read something cos I want to.

Also joining @rsteve388 walking a mile a day for the month. It‘s a cunning ploy to make sure I leave the house each day thro the winter. 1.5 miles this am. 🌅

I‘m celebrating my last week of freedom/first weekend of freedom (depending how you look at it). I start an actual 9-5 full-time job on Monday, via Zoom.

rockpools I haven‘t worked ft office hours since 2002 😱 - there‘ve always been ‘library hours‘ (random weekends/evenings with weekday time off) or flex or a hodgepodge of jobs pinned together or self-employed-‘what‘s a weekend?‘-ness. It‘s going to be an adjustment! 😁 4y

Sace Was this the view on your walk? Gorgeous! 4y

rockpools @Sace It was. I keep trying to get to the beach for sunrise... and missing! 4y
