Despite other challenges and a reading slump I‘m grateful for the summer. It just feel so good to be outside. 🌞🌳🌞

Long weekend calls for a decadent Argentinian tart and this ‘winter‘ book. I had set this book aside for winter months but I was in the mood for some adventure. Glad I gave in because I‘m thoroughly enjoying it. ❄️🌊❄️ #currentlyreading
I thoroughly enjoyed this well researched tale of hardship and survival, though I did have to handwave a couple things*. I almost wish the trial hadn't happened, to give more room for the stories of these women, individually and as they traveled together & learned to rely on each other. Having said that, the trial was interesting as well as infuriating. As for the things that didn't quite make sense: several of the women chosen to go were odd ⬇️
Arctic Fury is hands down the kind of female-led book you want to kick down new year‘s winter doors with! Witty comebacks, gruelling conditions, and a wonderful cast of characters. Full review is on my GoodReads!
Right book, wrong time. I've had this book sitting beside me for the better part of a week and I'm only 30 pages in. Waving the white flag for now, and picking up another book.
I'm really wanting to meet my reading goal for the year during this month and so, I want quick, exciting reads. Unfortunately, “Arctic Fury“ is not the right read for me right now. Back to the TBR for this one. This was my #Doublespin book for the month.

I can forgive a few historical bendings of the truth - this is of course fiction. I really enjoyed spending time in the Arctic with these women - seeing their vulnerability in nature actually give them the strength to shake off the constraints they've lived under in nineteenth century society. There's some great detail of the expedition - that helps you really feel the depth of cold a winter in the north can offer. Grab a blanket and dive in!
This week I did my first #readingonlocation for nearly 2 years. I love finding a quiet reading space that adds something to my reading. This week I took the tagged book - all about a band of women travelling across the Arctic Circle to try to find Franklin. - to the Polar Museum, part of the Geological Dept at Cambridge University
This book has so much #litsylove ! It‘s an amazing real life story of women taking on the world! I love the polar regions- can‘t wait for the weather to turn, I‘ll be wrapped in blankets reading this one. Thank you so, so much @Kdgordon88 xxxxx
Get this off your TBR list and start reading it! It‘s a great story of amazing women!
i‘ve been wanting to read this since it‘s published and wish I would‘ve read it sooner! This is amazing!

"In the front row sit the survivors." This evocative first line sets up a chilling tale, in more ways than one. In 1854, Virginia Reeve stands trial for the murder of Caprice Collins, just one of the adventurous women who failed to return from their quest to discover the fate of Sir John Franklin's #lost expedition.

Have to share this current-day version of an incredible team of women braving the Arctic for a noble cause. Love this book and admire these women! Video from Good Morning America

This was so good! A bunch of strong woman who can do amazing things, some not boring courtroom drama, and lots of suspense it was right up my alley. This was the last book I finished in 2020 and it was such a nice way to close out the year.
This was an enjoyable HF novel. A group of women are chosen to search for the missing crew & ships of Sir John Franklin, a British Naval explorer who went missing in 1848 exploring the Arctic Circle. This was a great blend of history, fiction and courtroom thriller. Thanks for the gift @Hestapleton and kudos to @theladygreer for her outstanding research, attention to detail and creating such memorable characters who felt authentic & fresh.
I‘m really enjoying this HF #WrittenByALitten @theladygreer and it‘s sort of kismet that my bookmark, that of the Sierra Nevada Mountains is highlighted in this book☺️
Review is up on my blog. Check it out.
