I loved parts of this book and other parts were just really hard to get through. The history and emotional personal moments were amazing. I don‘t know enough about music to even understand those parts of the book. So it‘s a so-so for me. #readharder #brics
While I read this novel based on and pulling from Russian folklore, my toddler has been watching this bizarre cartoon called Masha and the Bear, also Russian. Thus the picture above.
I enjoyed this one and now that I know it‘s the first of a trilogy, all the place setting and world-building is more understandable. #brics selection for #readharder2018
What an engrossing read and so eloquently written! ?Hard to believe no one bat an eye for the 1933 classic until Hilton wrote his best-selling Goodbye Mr. Chips the following year. And who knew this book launched the mass-market "paperback revolution" by being the first-ever 25-cent Pocket Book? It even added a new word into our language and dictionary: Shangri-La. ??Now I must see the movie.
