so-soI loved Wintering and was so looking forward to this one by May. Sadly, it did not meet my inflated expectations. I had a hard time connecting with May and her thoughts in a few of her essays. While there are a few great quotes in here, I was left feeling so-so over the whole book.
Thanks for offering this #BuddyRead ! #Naturalitsy #MidWinterSolace

Hooked_on_books It‘s always disappointing to love one book by an author and have another disappoint! Hopefully her next outing works better for you. 11mo

Librarybelle @youneverarrived Wintering was so good! 11mo
TheAromaofBooks I have actually seen several reviews of this that said something similar. Apparently I need to read Wintering but give this one a miss!! 11mo
Jess_Read_This So disappointing to hear it didn‘t resonate like Wintering did. I really enjoyed Wintering too and had been meaning to read this one. 11mo
Librarybelle I know there were some in the #buddyread who really liked it, @Jess_Read_This and @TheAromaofBooks so definitely still try it. There was something about Wintering that was so magical and inspiring…maybe it‘s a hard act to follow! 11mo
Jess_Read_This @Librarybelle I agree about there being something just magical about Wintering. I will definitely still read this one because I want to support May and am always interested in reading her essays. It‘s good to be able to set my expectations on this one 😊 11mo
Librarybelle @Jess_Read_This 😁 11mo
