Adore this display at The Book Barn. Visited today after not being able to go for over a year. Feeling very proud as I only bought two books 🤣😂😋😋

I loved this. There‘s no great plot here; the characters come along and you go along with them for a while, then you move on, and other characters come along, and you get caught up with them and their stories, then some of the earlier characters come back, and the fact it doesn‘t get disorientating or annoying is, I think, testament to the great writing. I feel like I got to know these characters so intimately that I‘m missing them already.
I actually really loved this book. Quite the roller coaster but the end was just perfect.
Meet Henri... Or possibly Henrietta because gender is a little skewered and the mouse breeders on fb swear this is a girl not the boy we expected. But that's all hood. S/he is one of 5 new babies we got the other day. How cute and so friendly! Their breeder has raised them so well.
It's been almost 10 weeks since we went on a drive. Last drive was September 30. Finally got on the road again and feeling so alive. You can't really see it with the fog but kangaroo island is off in the distance. Talisker conservation Park was a real gem to discover
To start tomorrow.
Perhaps the audience for this book is younger and more susceptible to the “suicide is so poetic” appeal of Plath; or maybe enough older than me to have been in the first generation “inspired” by Plath‘s death. But I found it pretentious and more about the author‘s alter-ego (whom he named for himself although making him much older) than about Plath or Hughes. It smacked of the same kind of feelings as the “I wish I had been at Woodstock” trope.
Down to 2 houseguests, so I have time to post my bookish presents. Tagged book from one daughter, cat book from the other. Quilt and pillow from my dear husband. 😀 Happy 3rd day of Christmas, or just happy Friday.
