I love the inspiring message of this book, but it had just a tad too many YA tropes for my liking.
I think if I read this as a teenager I would have been much more impressed.

What a wonderful historical women's fiction. It's a female prospective of WWI.
It showed how those on the front lines scarificed during WWI. The medics, the stretcher-bearers, and those that were wounded made this story come to life. Eleanor, as ever, only wanted to be a doctor.
Her father let her sit the exam just to get her brother to study harder, never thinking she would be the doctor. It's sit during WWI, so you have to remember, ⬇️

Cute #NextInSeries and already downloaded the third book❤️🖤❤️ was able to listen while documenting yesterday.

This was a sweet cozy mystery. It was fun to be part of the animals‘ woodland world, and the mystery kept me guessing. First in a series, and I will read more.

Like several other Littens, I chose this book as my January #ThematicCozies #Animal pick.

Thank you, @Chrissyreadit for sending this to me as a swap gift! 💙

Another riveting compilation of shot stories each showing us a bit more of the man behind the white hare and wolf medallion.

I especially enjoyed the last two stories, but I'm bais because I love Ciri. I adore her feisty sprite and determination.

I am however now more than ready to be done with the short stories and be immersed in a full length novel

I took a break from cleaning to finish this one (I was almost done anyway). Anyway, this is a re-read for me. It was interesting to see the poems I flagged back then vs how they don't affect me in the same way today. Some of me wish I had annotated a little or journaled why they were significant then.
