Annual seasonal reread of has begun. While most of the story takes place in December, it actually begins in October. Pages 1-46 in the hardback I have. "It was a dull, grey afternoon in the middle of October, with nothing much to commend about it. The last of autumn‘s leaves fell from trees, with an unseasonably icy breeze too chill for even the most ardent of gardeners to be out and about."

pickenchanting, evocative, and not a wasted word. this short novella is a perfect read.
I started this on a flight from Toronto to Calgary and may have finished it if I wasn‘t savouring every sentence. So far, this book is perfect.
pickI have an island thing. But this was lovely. It‘s also quick and fun, and sneakily informative. Ivar lives alone on an isolated island, and Scottish minister John Ferguson is sent to evict him. They don‘t speak the same language. Ivar speaks Norm (a now-extinct Shetland Island language). Still they end up bonding.
Happy Friday (best day of the week)! Here's another recent acquistion for our personal library. Our son gave me this for my birthday.
Random book from our personal library.
A few years ago I aquired this Scots-language biography of the medieval freedom fighter written for teens. Our own teens weren't as excited as I was.
pickAbsolutely loved listening to Sam and his adventures.
