This book was truly amazing 😭❤️ I had borrowed it from the library but now I NEED to buy a physical copy 🥲 This is going to be hard since apparently chapters doesn‘t have the hard copy 🙄🤣 This book made me miss Scotland sooo much. This author writes beautifully! I cannot wait to continue the series 📚😭❤️

This is bittersweet as it‘s the last Hamish book officially written by M.C. Beaton before her passing. But it was a really good one! The shenanigans with Hamish‘s wild cat are very entertaining & I‘m happy to say his beloved Sonsie is finally back. 🐈‍⬛ Loved this one. 5⭐️

Probably a low Pick. Similar to Tranter‘s book Kenneth for me: a period of early Scottish history that I‘m not super familiar with, a decently digestible read, and a romance that was eye-rolly but also not as terrible as it could have been.

Another good historical romance that I read for Romance Book Club.

What I like about historical romance is that the women have very few choices but somehow find a way to work around the constraints placed on them by society.

Probably my lowest reading month in 5 years! But there were a few I loved. Really enjoying Rachel Harrison! The other two are novel-in-stories type books that fit my short story theme this year.

The bingo gods were not with me for this month‘s #bookspinbingo! I did get bingo, but look at all those almost ones!!

That‘s what I get for reading my feelings more than ever in February. At least I finished by #bookspin book

Finished this 19th century travelogue by famous German poet Theodor Fontane back in Troon. The routes of the tourists in Scotland did not change that much, we did the same one, only the other way round. It was quite interesting to read Fontane‘s descriptions of the countryside abd the different places and compare it to today - especially Edinburgh. I will definitely take it with me again next year when I am going to do second Scotland trip.

February: Romance

I found this an enjoyable read overall. Of course, I loved the Scottish setting. I'm so glad Josie got what was coming to her in the end.
