"... it's all very well planning what you will do in six months, what you will do in a year, but it's no good at all if you don't have a plan for tomorrow."
I thought this was fine. I waited too long to read it and it has won so many awards, it could never live up to the hype.
Overall I love how readable it was, and even with 739 Thomas's it was easy to keep track of who was who, credit to Mandel that is no easy feat.
Do I think Cromwell needed?

ChaoticMissAdventures 3 books of this length? Not really. While this book was interesting and readable I feel finished and probably will not read the others. It is hard with historical fiction. The reader feels a bit like a psychic knowing what is to come, wanting to warn the characters. This was a good pick for a @thearomaofbooks #bookspin #chunkster and #bookedintime @Cuilin 18h
Cuilin I agree with the psychic vibes and wanting to influence the path characters are on, especially book 3 in this series. 16h
ChaoticMissAdventures @Cuilin I can imagine!! The nooooo not her thoughts and watching him stumble to his doom! 16h
Cuilin @ChaoticMissAdventures maybe the genre we should be reading is the speculative fiction “alternate history“ 😆 16h
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 16h

I‘ll be living with Olga for awhile. (10 weeks as a read along) Slow going because I have to make a note or look up a word every other minute.

What a ride! Halfway thru Book 2 and I‘m a bit nonplussed by the mysticism of Kabbalists. “The air is full of eyes…” 👀👀👀👀

Leftcoastzen Truly a #Chunkster ! Have it , haven‘t read 18h
Tamra @Leftcoastzen definitely! I think it does help to be reading with others on a schedule. 18h

My book finally came in the mail! Starting this #chunkster for #READLESMIS I‘ve always wanted to read this, and there‘s no better way than with a #buddyread with fellow Littens! Hopefully I will catch up soon!
I‘m loving Monsignor Bienvenue. He is giving, kind, and insightful.

TheBookHippie @Andrew65 I promise a chapter a day is the way to go! 1mo
Cuilin @Andrew65 his commentary on riding the donkey though was pretty good!!! 😆 1mo
Andrew65 @TheBookHippie It‘s a fun way to do it too, gives you more time to take in the story and think on it. 1mo
TheBookHippie @Cuilin I love all of it. #nerd 1mo
DieAReader @Andrew65 🤷🏻‍♀️Somehow, I‘ve already managed to read ahead🤫 I might have a difficult time staying with the group🤦🏻‍♀️ Flashback to my HS English class😂😝 1mo
Andrew65 @DieAReader You can do it. At least if you read ahead it gives you rest times whilst others get to where you are. 🤣 1mo
DieAReader @Andrew65 😝😂True enough. Gonna do my best not to get more than a few days ahead😏 1mo
Andrew65 @Cuilin Amazing the things he focuses on! 🤷‍♂️ 1mo

Here. We. Go!

About to try to dive into this #chunkster thanks to a Readalong on #Storygraph 🤷🏻‍♀️

I JUST learned of the app after years of tracking on Goodreads. Goodreads always did me just fine but Storygraph looks FUN!

BarbaraBB I love Storygraph! Good luck with the book! 1mo
Bookish.SAM @BarbaraBB thanks! I‘m gonna need all the luck I can get to make it through this baby! So far loving Storygraph!! I‘m a bit of a data nerd so… 1mo

Holy 💩⚽️⚽️! Climate dystopian #ozfiction, written by a local #mustread author. Finished reading it today, a day that reached 43C 🔥, whilst hibernating in air con. Absolutely terrifying and affecting. This is Winton desperately trying to WAKE US UP. Read it… if you dare. #chunkster

LeeRHarry We will be reading it for my bookgroup next year. I think you must be sending your hot weather our way for Boxing Day! 🥵 1mo

sarahbarnes Wow. Stacking. 1mo
squirrelbrain Great review! I bought this when it came out over here (October) but the chunksterishness was putting me off - sounds like I need to bite the bullet and dive in. 1mo
Jeg I‘m not a big fan of his , my favourite being The Riders. I‘ve got my name on the list at the library to borrow. Though maybe I‘ll get it for Xmas. I‘m definitely going to read it sometime. Maybe it will go on my shelf next to The Riders. 1mo
