Sometimes a girl just needs to read a boy book and a good ol‘ western fits that bill. (This is not a story where the indigenous people‘s perspective is considered -so there is that). I saw this movie years back with Leonardo DiCaprio playing the part of Hugh Glass as he‘s viciously mauled by a grizzly bear. But I gotta say, reading an account of that attack might have been even more visceral.

A 70s rock band? 🎸
A love triangle? 🎸
Drugs & sobriety? 🎸
So we‘re talking about a fictionalized narrative of Fleetwood Mac?

3/5 ⭐️ the story ended up being a little different than I expected, but still had a couple moments where I teared up!

Another epic story from Cary‘s Davies in under 200 pages. I had never heard of the clearances of Scotland. The removal of people from land that they lived on for generations. This was an intimate story of a sole inhabitant of an island and a Reverend who was sent to take him off the island. #Scotland

Bookwomble If your interest is piqued by the Highland Clearances, you might enjoy the tagged book which has that setting, and is considered a classic of Scottish literature. It's more about the inner life of the MC, an elderly, embittered woman who is struggling to cope with the social change happening around her 6h

I like this book. It is a 4 book bind up. I liked all of the characters in the book and the story was good. I rated the book a 3 out of 5 stars.

I‘m not a mystery fan and have never read Agatha Christie, but The Queens of Crime completely won me over. I loved the clever idea of turning famous mystery writers into real-life sleuths. Following the clues with them was engaging and fun, even for someone unfamiliar with their work. A smart, imaginative blend of true crime and literary history. Definitely worth a read.
