This book follows Iskat from her early days as a Jedi Padawan to her conversion to Inquisitor under the Empire. It's good, but as usual, Dawson likes her sad endings 🖤

I do enjoy an Olivia Dade romance! And this one's got a #Voyage thrown in.

It was not the amount you gave that counted, but simply the gesture of giving.

GondorGirl That's such a unique title! 2y

"I wanted to settle an old debt with time. I had discovered that walking provided a way to slow it down. The alchemy of travel thickens seconds: those spent on the road passed less quickly than others." #memoir #translatednonfiction

I don't think I'll ever again encounter so many poetic ways to refer to a frozen lake.
Love that the focus was at least 50% on the nature around the cabin, and 20% on the books being read during the six month stay.
The memoir is primarily a meditation on the uses and detractions of a hermitage, whether it's a necessary reprieve, a revolutionary act or just an escape from the world. Gets a bit weird about women and politics, though. FYI. #memoir

I know that this book is a easy read for me and I could spend my time on a more challenging book. This is a amazing read it has a true story and to be honest I‘m not a nonfiction type of person I like fiction books but this book has my full attention

Berezina | Sylvain Tesson

A book by Sylvain Tesson is always an adventure. But here, the adventure of retracing the steps of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow to Paris in sidecars in December is fast eclipsed by History itself.

In less than 200 pages, Sylvain Tesson really offers a feel of the horrors, hunger, and sufferings experienced by the soldiers of the Grande Armée. (See comments to read more)

Adventures_of_a_French_Reader As someone who had very little knowledge about this period in history, I feel this book is a great introduction. The bits about the road trip offer some humorous moments that I greatly appreciated. I quite enjoyed this journey with Tesson's friends. It was great to read their adventures without actually feeling the cold, being comfortable in my reading nook with a hot drink ;) 3y
