The Ten Year Affair | Erin Somers

#ToB26 #22

Yes it‘s a book about a ten year affair but it‘s also not. And it is certainly not as predictable as you might suspect. To me it is much more a book about growing up and becoming a mother and leave the city where you were young and all seemed possible. I really liked it.

📸 Lausanne, Switzerland

Hooked_on_books I liked this, too. I think anyone who has gone through phases in their life in growing up in relationships(which is everyone) has something to relate to in this. 4d
BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books Yes it certain felt relatable at times. 4d
Lesliereadsalot Got this one coming up. So glad you liked it so I know I will too! 4d

ErikasMindfulShelf I‘ve read about half but have no desire to pick it back up. It‘s been a month since I stopped reading. 4d
AmyG I liked this one, too. I flew right through it. Yes @Hooked_on_books it was relatable in one way or another. (edited) 4d
merelybookish I have grown to like it more after reading it as it has stayed with me .Somehow it seems appropriate to me that her most interesting, complicated and honest relationship ended up being with another woman. 4d
BkClubCare Hoping to start this one today! But I also have Blob from the library, so... will see which grabs me. 4d
sarahbarnes I wasn‘t initially interested in this because it seemed obvious, but you‘re selling it for me. 4d
squirrelbrain Looking forward to getting to this (when it‘s published in January! 🙄) 4d
BarbaraBB @merelybookish So true. The affair - existing or not - was not what the book is about 4d
BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes It‘s less obvious and I liked it but it‘s not a favorite of mine 4d
Cathythoughts Sounds good. Stacked 👍🏻❤️ 3d
youneverarrived I can‘t wait to read this. Love Switzerland 😍 3d

Book #22 of 2025: “How the Irish Saved Civilization” by Thomas Cahill

SO well-researched. This book focuses on how the rise of Christianity in Ireland ultimately saved Latin literature after the fall of Rome, and the significant cultural impact Irish missionaries had on Europe through the dark ages and into the Renaissance. Bonus: 1200 year old poem by an Irish monk about his cat, Pangur Ban. History buffs, it‘s definitely worth a read!

The whole first layer is finished - up to bag #22 - from here on out it‘s details 🎉🎉 I am thoroughly enjoying this history, remembering my essays written on the Black Death in uni, but having completely missed the price the Jewish people paid ( W the AF ) when they were blamed even before the disease arrived in towns 🤬

This took a while to get into. There's a lot of description of new ideas, concepts and explanations. And a lot of telling instead of showing. But it was sort of worth it in the end. I'll read the next book to see if that stays true. #22-2025

A woman's extraordinary journey around the world, driven by an unseen illness. At the age of 9, Aubry was struck by a mysterious sickness that forced her to leave home and travel constantly, unable to stay in one place for too long without suffering intense pain. A very long book, but full of adventures of strength, wonder, love, loss, grief, and more. The end was a bit strange though. Book #22 in 2025

Two more books, books 23 & 24 of the series, from the Houston bookstore Murder by the Book. I now only need three books to complete the series

Bookwormjillk That sounds like a fun treasure hunt 9mo
TheBookHippie Fun covers! 9mo
Kristin_Reads I love this series, too! I‘m on #22. I think there‘s 26 total. I started reading this from the very first book when it first came out in the late 90s. I read about one a year but I missed a couple along the way. I‘m hoping to catch up this year! 9mo

Flowers from the Moon | Lynn Hughes

Book #22 of 2024: “Flowers from the Moon” by L.J. Hughes

I picked this up from the Florence Regional Arts Alliance on a whim. I love reading the work of local poets and Hughes did not disappoint. She and I come from different generations and backgrounds but I found her poetry to be relatable, especially “Perspectives and Tack Shed Dreams” and “Dad and I”. I recommend checking her out!
