Not typically a true statement in Michigan, but I heard on the news today that we‘ve had the least average amount of snowfall in December for quite some years!

Cinfhen, TrishB

Cinfhen Yay for you!!! Who needs extra freezing snow?!?!??! 6y

The Sunne In Splendour: A Novel of Richard III | Sharon Kay Penman

@TrishB posted her pretty copies of this wonderful historical novel today.

May I present my copy? It‘s the 1982 first US edition and I seriously think it is one of the ugliest covers I own. Oddly enough, I can‘t part with it.

😆😆😆 I warned you, Trish.

merelybookish Richard Iooks like he belongs in Clan of the Cave Bear. 😆 6y

TrishB I have never seen that one before! I think I‘m speechless 😶 who designs these things! 😂😂 but I wouldn‘t part with it either! 6y

TrishB @merelybookish 😂😂 there was obviously a trend! 6y

DGRachel @LeahBergen @TrishB I‘m a bit jealous of your hardcover editions of SKP‘s early novels. I have this one in trade paper and I‘ve never seen the hardcover available of this or the Welsh Princes trilogy anywhere except online for insane prices. 6y

TrishB @DGRachel my hardcover Welsh princes were in a charity shop!!! I literally nearly had a heart attack when I saw them......up til then I only had paperback. 6y

DGRachel @TrishB I would have squealed and made a fool of myself. 😂😂 6y

LeahBergen @merelybookish Richard-Jondalar?? 😆😆 Hmm... they were both published in the early 80s 🤔 6y

LeahBergen @TrishB Isn‘t it horrific?? The actual Sunne in Splendour flag looks like a fried egg. 6y

LeahBergen @DGRachel @TrishB I found my hardcover Welsh trilogy for a few dollars each at book sales. Mine are the US firsts, though ... I think they have different covers? Oh oh! Time to share again! 😆 6y

TrishB @DGRachel I pretty much had palpitations buying them! 1.99 each....😁 6y

TrishB @LeahBergen the worse it gets, the more you love it in a totally weird way... 6y

TrishB @LeahBergen yay!! 6y

DGRachel @LeahBergen Yes! Please share the covers! 6y

merelybookish I thought the egg was a weird headress. 🤣 6y

LeahBergen @merelybookish It totally looks like one, now that you mention it! 😆 6y

LeahBergen @DGRachel Coming right up! @TrishB You need to share the UK covers of the Welsh trilogy too. 😄 6y

Reviewsbylola I agree, pretty heinous. Sometimes those covers are the best tho! 6y

Melissa_J I wouldn‘t part with it either, ugly or not! 6y

CouronneDhiver Eek 😬 Don‘t like any of those covers. Lol 6y

LeahBergen @Reviewsbylola They are! 😆 6y

LeahBergen @Melissa_J It‘s a keeper! 😂 6y

LeahBergen @CouronneDhiver 😂😂 6y

Cinfhen Hubby is in middle of this series!! He LOVES it!!!! 6y

LeahBergen @Cinfhen He hasn‘t caught your “fear of the chunkster”? 😆😆 6y

Cinfhen Nope!!! He loves those chunky reads 😂😂😂 6y

Cinfhen He mocks my “easy readers” 6y

rubyslippersreads The Egge in Splendour. 😂 6y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads 😆😆 6y

The Secret River | Kate Grenville

#winterwonderland #icanseethesuninlatedecember
I immediately thought about the experience of those people sentenced to be transported to Australia for their crimes and the idea of seasons turned upside down must have been disconcerting - that and all the other ignominies they suffered - this is a brilliant book which i loved and bizarrely the only by kate Grenville i have read - a timely reminder to read some more soon.

CarolynM I've started two Kate Grenville novels (including this one) and bailed on both. For some reason I can't explain even to myself I really don't like her writing. (edited) 6y

Bullied To Death: A Story of Bullying, Social Media, and the Suicide of Sherokee Harriman | Judith A. Yates

pick

Sherokee Harriman was a 14 year old who couldn‘t find the bright side. She tragically ended her life by stabbing herself in the stomach in front of some peers that had been bullying her. Unfortunately, while bullying was a part of her life, there were many issues that led to the end of her tragic life. A drug addicted mother, absent father, sexual abuse, and on and on.

Stock photo from the Huntington Library Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California. As you can see, poinsettias can grow to be shrubs...even trees. Also, while I don‘t know when this photo was taken, one can see the sun in December most days in Southern California!
