After almost six months of visiting Middlemarch, how strange that it‘s over. There were many parts of this #tome that I didn‘t love, but I did love Dorothea, and also the final sentence of the book, and I‘m still thinking about all of it. I understand why it‘s considered one of the greatest English novels, and I also feel like this didn‘t quite hit five stars for me personally, although I am so glad I read it.

After I loved Clear so much, I picked this up. It starts just as beautiful but then it didn‘t hold my fascination until the end. It‘s still a soft pick with an interesting and beautifully written story.

I now have read all the three books I have packed for my five-days-holiday 🙈 Audiobook on my phone it is for tonight.

JamieArc Looks like a gorgeous holiday location! 6d
BarbaraBB I agree, Clear is better. 6d
Ruthiella Thank goodness for technology! 😊 6d

Now that I‘ve read this enjoyable fantasy, I can‘t help staring at my mother-in-law‘s cuckoo clock, wondering if Griselda is in there playing with that wise and enchanting bird! This charming book warmed my heart and stirred my fascination with this intricate timepiece. 🕰️

And yes, @TheBookHippie , I‘d love to know more of your opinion on the Mrs. We may need to read her bio. 😉

TheBookHippie Yes. Must read. I loved this story. 6d
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks It‘s beautiful 😍 6d
mrp27 Love the cuckoo clock. My mom lived in Germany as a kid on an Air Force base and they brought a few cuckoo clocks home. I have wonderful memories of my grandma lifting me up to turn the clock to the hour so the cuckoo would come out. 5d

UwannaPublishme @mrp27 How cool! Do you still have the clocks? What a sweet memory! ❤️My husband says he remembers the cuckoos singing the hour when this clock was at his grandmother‘s house. I hope we can figure out how to get it working again. 5d
mrp27 Both my grandparents have passed and they left one cuckoo clock to my brother, but it doesn‘t work, and they left the other cuckoo clock to my aunt who had it recently repaired so it‘s fully operational. I‘ll have to take pics when I‘m at their houses. 5d
UwannaPublishme @mrp27 I‘ll look forward to seeing your aunt‘s clock. I hope we get to see the cuckoos emerge from our clock. 😊🤞🏻 5d

Once again, I've been away & I'm back. ☺

It's been a busy season - in May, my older daughter graduated from Boston University & my younger daughter finished her freshman year at Dean College. I'm teaching a summer course right now which is keeping me quite busy, but in two weeks I will have much more time on my hands! I've missed you, Littens! Here's to being more consistent on the beat social media platform ever! ♥
