so-soI‘ll be in Lofoten next month and I was excited to read a book set there. Sadly I found this disappointing, probably me but I just didn‘t “get” it and struggled to understand quite what was going on or why. Really really sad as I so wanted to like it.
pickThis read was so immersive that I was cold reading about snow and Alaska while in reality it was 95 degrees here. 😀 Beautiful prose and lots to think about. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
pickWhen some huge ancient bones has been discovered out west, Cy Bellman decides to go in search of these big animals. He leaves his 10 yr old daughter to his sister.
A book about a man‘s journey but also about the people staying behind, and how hard it is to be a woman in a man‘s world.
pickAbsolutely amazing novel. My favorite of the year!

pickThis book is quite different to Essex Serpent. If you loved Essex Serpent‘s raw vitality & personalities conflicting - think of this as melancholy, solitary souls looking for life‘s purpose amongst small tragedies. Its nowhere near as epic and there‘s a ton of philosophising. And i loved it, but in an entirely different way. Perry‘s writing and characters just appeal to me, even when the storyline isnt always smooth. ⬇️
pickI haven‘t read as much this year, but this is the best novel I‘ve read so far. The story mostly follows Thomas Hart, who inadvertently, becomes enmeshed in astronomy with the passing of Hale-Bopp and the history of a mysterious woman from the past. Like Essex Serpent that this has ties to, it combines science & religion to talk about life‘s greatest mysteries and relationships with each other. Beautiful novel.
pickA story set in 1990's Ireland looking at three marriages in a country where divorce is not legal. Some beautiful writing, but it did not blow me away. 3 🌟
