pickI had picked this one up a couple of months ago, and couldn't really get into it, and put it aside, thinking it just wasn't the right time. Turns out #AuldLangSpine was totally the right time! I whipped through this one in three days (yes, I was overly eager and started early, too @CBee 🤣). I love Chidgey's ability to tell the story hidden behind the story, the sense of unease and apprehension she lends with just a few well placed glimpses. 👇
TheKidUpstairs It was gripping and thoughtful, tense but full of heart, intriguing commentary on lives lived online, domestic violence, and our relationship with the animals around us, and a generous sprinkling of humour. I loved it. 1d

TheKidUpstairs My son is really into origami, so I included the talking crow he folded me in this pic - he knows I love a corvid! 1d

monalyisha @TheKidUpstairs @CBee I can‘t even get over that you‘re both the first to post #AuldLangSpine2026 reviews and that you both picked up a book from the other‘s list, started it, stopped, then picked it up again for the event. And that you both started early, unbeknownst to the other person! Just fabulous. 😅💖 22h
CarolynM Great review. You‘re absolutely right about that “story behind the story” thing. 15h
