So the plan was to read the women‘s prize for NF longlist. Which of course meant the International Booker looked super-interesting. And as I can‘t do everything, the only possible solution is to read the Carnegies. Yay!
I might just admit that children‘s literature is where it‘s at (and where I‘m at) this year, so there we are. (I‘ve abandoned The Eagle & the Hart for Dirty Bertie. Enough Said.)
This book, however, is gorgeous inside and out.
jenniferw88 I'm struggling with The Eagle and the Hart too! 1mo
rockpools @jenniferw88 Really?! That makes me feel much better! Pretty sure you can handle more ‘serious‘ history than I can. It was a lot!! 1mo
jenniferw88 @rockpools, yes, & I'm glad to reassure you! It's a period I know little about. & you can blame my Dad for the 'serious' history - he's an ex-history teacher & is now a National Trust guide - we've been members since my birth so have visited a LOT of NT places over the years. (I didn't go abroad on holiday to around age 9/10). 1mo
rockpools @jenniferw88 That makes sense. I might just stick with historical fiction for my ‘Kings & Queens‘ history - I finally worked out that I knew John of Gaunt from Anya Seton‘s Katherine. Then I bailed!! 1mo
