Continuing the tagged book while the kids play at the playground. Quite a hot day here so may not stay that long and get much reading in. Really enjoying this book so far!

Grabbed the tagged book from the library and started it. I'm really enjoying it so far. The writing is beautiful and I love how alive the Fig Tree is. I truly believe plants and trees are more intelligent than humans give them credit for! Still in the beginnings of the story so not exactly sure where it's heading but it's a good start.

A great find from the ‘Little Free Library‘ around the corner from my house. Such a wonderful author. There are always passages and lines in her books that I went to highlight and treasure but never do as I‘m compelled to keep reading! A story of Peri, who lives in Istanbul with her family but is pulled back into memories of her student days in Oxford. Of an enigmatic professor and his influence on 3 students and questions on religion and God.

How else could I experience theses places in these times if it weren‘t for stories? How bereft my life would be without books. How thankful I am to be a reader!

A very old book. First published in 1916, this one 1960. It caught my eye because I had to read it in high school and all I can remember is that I hated it. Reading it now I can understand why my teenage self didn‘t like. It is a spy thriller set in WW1 . I‘m glad I reread it. Looking back I realise we had a very British based curriculum.
By the way this old book smells great.😊❤️.

Another beautifully written novel by Elif Shafak. Humanity is united by water as this story illustrates in the telling of Arthur who lives near the River Thames in the 1840s, Narin who lives by the River Tigris in 2014, Zaleekhah who lives in a houseboat on the River Thames in 2018.

I loved this one. It‘s about how one drop of water can connect us. It‘s told via the unique voices of three people. Arthur who born very near the Thames, Narin who lives near the Tigris and Zaleekah who is renting a houseboat on the Thames. Beautifully written and very moving at times, I was very immersed in these characters‘ lives and found it a page turner.
