This is almost a Robin Hood tale. Dona really grew on me, and I loved her wit, courage and joie de vivre. There was humour in the dialogue that had me chuckling.
I got a bit tired of the “women are only good for having children” attitude, and hoped this would be challenged more but sadly wasn‘t. I don‘t know if it‘s just indicative of the time period, but I did roll my eyes!

This is the second book I have finished for #MarvellousMarchReadathon hosted by @Andrew65 I love this book so much!!! Yes it is problematic book because of the time period. I just love the characters so much except for Ashley and Suellen. I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars.

I really enjoyed this. Focusing on three young women in London during the Blitz, the author weaves a heartwarming story around real events. Impeccably researched and with compelling characters, I flew through this. Definitely recommend.

I know the Little House books are controversial today but as a child in the 80's I really enjoyed reading them. I've read every one of them, and I know I read at least some of them multiple times. Otherwise, I can't say I've ever re-read any books. There's so much to read, I like to pick up new-to-me books! #TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

dabbe I didn't know the LH books were controversial today. Am I too naive to ask why? I LOVED those books! They = #childhood And I agree 💯... there are too many books and too little time to be doing too much rereading! Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 14h
ShelleyBooksie @dabbe - one of the reasons is the portrayal of indigenous people. 14h
dabbe @ShelleyBooksie It's been years since I've read them, and I honestly didn't remember those parts. Thanks for clarifying. 💚💙💚 14h
ImperfectCJ I also loved the Little House books, although there are definitely problematic elements (the minstrel show...ugh). These days I find them intriguing as a look into how an author frames her personal history, what she includes, what she leaves out, etc. 11h

I‘m just going to call this one, I‘m clearly not that interested in this one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It‘s well and truly Friday here in Western Australia, but I‘ll play anyway 😁. For the last 25 years or so I haven‘t re-read books because there are just too many new ones waiting, and I‘ll never get to them all 😱. So these are from my teens and early 20‘s.

1. Clan of the Cave Bear.
2. The Shell Seekers.
3. The Outsiders.

Wanna play @Jeg @Rissreads ?

Jeg TBH I can‘t remember reading any books more than once. Unless I had to for school or book club! What they were I have no idea. Unlike me you have an amazing memory. I‘m just enjoying the quiet. Sitting outside. So still as well as quiet. 15h
MrsMalaprop @Jeg Yes, I did think of book club reads. Maybe 1984 & Brave New World? Hey, speaking of quiet, maybe that‘s a book you‘ve read more than once 15h
dabbe YES to all 3, and now I want to reread them! 😂 I agree with you re: too many books, too little time. A books has to be pretty dang special to reread these days! Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 14h

Jeg You are correct I‘ve read it many times and it‘s beside my bed right now waiting for another read. That‘s made me think of another book. Feel the fear and do it anyway by Susan Jeffers. I‘ve read that many times. Both books have been great for me. Quiet is very reassuring. 14h
Rissreads Yep it‘s hard when you have over 100 books waiting to be read! And I‘ve read Clan of the Cave bear twice too! (edited) 12h
