I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are new and some are old, some are gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

#bookreport @Cinfhen

Continued this chunkster! It's good, but very dense and slow in parts - only recommended if you're REALLY interested in the English Civil War, the Commonwealth/Protectorate and the Glorious Revolution - I haven't got to 1660 yet, but there's quite a few pages listed in the index for it!

Cuilin Looks really interesting 🤔 shall I stack it? 😬 8mo
jenniferw88 @Cuilin I would suggest a #borrownotbuy or try her other book first to see if you like her writing style (tagged) as I'm finding it a bit slow and heavy-going in places. 8mo
Cuilin @jenniferw88 thanks Jenny, I‘ll check the library. 8mo
Cinfhen Ha! This is definitely not for me!!! But I think my hubby would LOVE IT!!!! 8mo

Everything except the tagged is tentative - tagged is a definite as I have the paperback on pre-order!

Just Mercy covers 'wrongly incarcerated' and The War of Don Emanuel's Nether Parts is for 'title starts with v or w'.

KarenUK The history of love is one of my favorite books! 😍💕 1y
Cinfhen Just Mercy is SO GOOD!!!! Excellent choice!!!! 1y
BarbaraBB Thank you! I‘ve read the Chile one but am interested in the Colombia one! 1y

Commonwealth | Ann Patchett

#Commonwealth #AnnPatchett #BookSpinBingo #DoubleSpin

This is a novel about how an unexpected romantic encounter changes members of the Cousins and Keating families. It is a coming-of-age story about parent/child relationships and the bonds between siblings told in a succession of vignettes. Ann Patchett has admitted that the book is autobiographical. Although it is a mixture of satire, compassion and humor, it has great emotional depth.

EadieB I enjoyed her writing and I look forward to reading a few more of her books. If you enjoy books about blended families then I think you will enjoy this book. This is my #DoubleSpin book. 2y
mollyrotondo I love Ann Patchett!!! Try Dutch House. It‘s about siblings and it‘s excellent! 2y
EadieB @mollyrotondo Thanks for the recommendation! 2y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2y

Just got started on the second installment of The Chronical of the Fallers. Thoroughly enjoyed the first book.
