Death of a Gossip | M.C. Beaton

I adore Hamish! He‘s like the Columbo of Scotland‘s police force - everyone thinks he‘s a little slow and definitely quirky, but he‘s very intelligent and resourceful. Much of the action takes place in the Highland village of Lochdubh, where the skies #BloweNorthernWinde . Tagged is the first in the series. Fast reads, a little repetitive, but it feels like visiting old friends every time I read these books. #WinterWonderland

Cinfhen, TrishB

TrishB Great pick 👍🏻 it can indeed be windy up there! 5y

Aesop's Fables | Aesop

The North Wind and The Sun, one of the many fables by Aesop, is about the Wind and the Sun bet on which can force a man to remove a coat. We know who won!
Moral of the story: ‘Gentleness and kind persuasion win where force and bluster fail.‘

The Mediaeval Baebes: Songs of the Flesh | Erotic Print Society, Marie Findley, Vania Zouravliov

#blowenorthernwinde #winterwonderland
Some of my Baebes memorabilia. Saw them on a show years ago that Numan was on and was immediately interested in hearing more. They give a brilliant live show and are great to chat to. They did a Victorian style erotic print book - on the right!
We had this song playing at our wedding ❤️

Cinfhen

Cinfhen What a beautiful song choice ~ it‘s absolutely enchanting ✨💫⚡️✨💫✨ 5y

Cathythoughts Very special song so ♥️ 5y

TK421 I've been a fan of theirs since they did a song with Delirium back in the day. It would have been really cool to see them with Gary Numan. 5y

TrishB @TK421 they‘re definitely unique. 5y

Chrissyreadit I had a cd of theirs but have no idea what happened to it now... 5y

TrishB @Chrissyreadit now you have to find it! 5y

Chocolat | Joanne Harris

#Winterwonderland #BloweNorthernWinde I haven‘t read the book but I remember that the North wind has a lot to do with when the mother and daughter move around in the movie. Also, I remember this part because in the background of Vianne telling her daughter about her grandfather, the song playing in the background is Eric Satie‘s Gnosiennes No.1. I‘m a sucker for a good score.

Cinfhen, TrishB

Cinfhen Nice one, Reggie 5y

Cathythoughts Loved the movie 👍🏻 5y

JennyM 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 5y

JennyM But more importantly, did the snow last?? Did you make a ⛄️? 5y

Reggie @Cinfhen Thanks!! @Cathythoughts me too!! @JennyM Today, because it‘s snowing overnight here right now. 5y

TrishB Love a bit of Satie too 💜 5y

GatheringBooks haven‘t seen the movie yet. :( 😭 nor have i read the book. 5y

batsy I read it when it first came out (such a long time ago 😲) and remember that I enjoyed it. 5y

Cinfhen It‘s still snowing??? Wow!!!! 5y

Cinfhen @JennyM is sweltering by the pool and you‘re freezing 🥶 5y

JennyM @Cinfhen @Reggie Yey...I‘m so hanging out for the ⛄️ 5y

arlenefinnigan Oh the book's lovely 5y

Reggie @TrishB his music is lovely. 5y

Reggie @GatheringBooks the movie‘s great!! 5y

Reggie @batsy when I picked this all I could think was, “omg, that movie was over 10 years ago!!!” And also that they snubbed Leno Olin out of a Academy Best Supporting Actress nomination. Lol 5y

Reggie @Cinfhen @JennyM I‘ll take the freezing. We don‘t have too many of those days here. 5y

erzascarletbookgasm I remember the movie 👍. Good pick. 5y

Dona Flor: A Tall Tale About a Giant Woman with a Great Big Heart | Pat Mora

pick

#WinterWonderland Day 28: The cover of this book reminded me of #BloweNorthernWinde. This is the story of a gigantic beautiful woman named Doña Flor who lives in a small barrio in the American southwest. The villagers do not fear her presence, in fact they look forward to her giant steps, the songs that she sings allowing birds to come and build nests in her hair. She reads encyclopedias in under 5 mins too! My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7Au

Cinfhen, TrishB

Cinfhen Beautiful interpretation and stunning illustrations 💚 5y

TrishB Beautiful book again ❤️ 5y
