so-soThis was good but I think I‘ve read too many fictionalised stories about actual historical figures. I think I prefer books that are ‘loosely based‘ on real life characters or real events. Using people‘s actual names and their ‘ thoughts‘ doesn‘t sit right with me. I just wasn‘t in the right mood to read this.
My #AuldLangSpine list is short but sweet. I have read two: The Marriage Portrait and The Four Winds. I can get the tagged book on Libby so will start there.
Thanks for an interesting list with several new to me titles @LapReader
Appreciate your work on my most favorite New Year‘s swap. @monalyisha
pickMy favourite of Kate‘s books yet. Only my second actually. She is an Australian author. This was my school holiday read I forgot to post. I was at my sister‘s place 50 km from the nearest town, enjoying this beautiful book and some quiet time then the niece got in with me and everyone out in the garden came to the window to chat #noonecaresinthecountry Last time I visited I was sick with Influenza A so it was much nicer this time. Not freezing.
pickLittle Free Library finds these holidays. The top book will be given to my niece.
pickI thought I was going to return this to the library unfinished - I found the beginning of Elizabeth's marriage terribly depressing. I'm so glad I gave it one more shot! It turned out to be absolutely beautiful and comforting and challenging and I loved it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

pickI heard this novel being reviewed glowingly on an Australian radio book show and added it to my long #tbr list. Written in 2011, but set mainly in the 1920s & 30s, it is a beautifully written, rural family saga about horse jumping. It felt a little Grapes of Wrath to me 🤔. I thoroughly appreciated (rather than enjoyed) this harrowing, affecting #ozfiction.
