#2025reads

If I read this this year this would be #AllergicToChunksters, I‘ve had this for a few years but this looked like a difficult read (I knew nothing of Ancient and Imperial China but now know a little more). The story is of civil wars that went on for almost a century at the beginning of the first millennium. ⬇️

AnishaInkspill There is a lot of violence along with drama and comedy and many characters, I wouldn‘t be exaggerating if I said multi-ten thousand, and this translation is the abridged version.

The last third did drag, but overall, this was an amazing read, and next time I would not hesitate to read this.

Lisa Waller Rogers wrote a wonderful book of American history. When PeopleWere Things shows us the true history of those who fought for the end of slavery. Harriet Beecher Stowe was a Christian woman who wanted to see the abolishment of slavery in the US as did Abe Lincoln. They & MANY others fought for this because they believed it‘s what God intended for us all & what the Declaration of Independence intended as well.

#2025reads #Pemberlittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig

Every time I read Pride and prejudice it gets better. The first time, I read this as a romance, the second time I saw more from Mrs Bennet‘s point of view, this time I saw it as Elizabeth saw it. One of my favourite scenes this time is the realization Elizabeth goes through to see how she misjudged Darcy. ⬇️

AnishaInkspill The scene that never stops being my favourite is when Elizabeth tells all to Jane. 1w
Austen_meets_Annie I love this so much! 1w
AnishaInkspill @Crinoline_Laphroaig ❤️the more I read Jane Austen's work I'd say she has been underestimated, and I have a sense that there is a lot more for me to discover. 1w

This is my last Jane Austen read for the year, and it made sense to end with the novel with Pride and Prejudice. Every time I read this it gets better.

Reading today, another short by Poe. I‘ve only known a couple of his poems and really like the rhythm that runs through them, I‘m finding this rhythm is also in his shorts. This is the third story I will be reading by Edgar Allan Poe.

#2025Reads #FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl -- sorry I forgot to post this last Friday

A retell of Medea and Jason's stories.

I like Natalie Haynes, and her story style that puts women in Greek myth back to the frontline. This is not my favourite book but I liked the first 2/3, the story was rushed through in the last 1/3. Throughout there were many interesting details so I will get my own copy.

AllDebooks I'm reading this now. 😊 3w
AnishaInkspill @AllDebooks oh brilliant, looking forward to hearing what you thought of it 3w

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl #2025reads

This week it‘s 2 shorts by Edgar Allan Poe (The Tell-Tale Heart and The Pit and The Pendulum), I just need a little break from my current read: Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, so this was a nice switch before I get back to it.

This is sad, beautiful, funny, warming as it is unsettling. And in the midst of all this there is wonderful imagery like this:

“There were so many things a tree could do: add color, provide shade, drop fruit, or become a children‘s playground, a whole sky universe to climb and hang from; an architecture of food and pleasure, that was a tree.”

quote fr “December 2001 The Green Morning”
