The bingo gods were not with me for this month‘s #bookspinbingo! I did get bingo, but look at all those almost ones!!
That‘s what I get for reading my feelings more than ever in February. At least I finished by #bookspin book
My last post about Robert Burns. This is the Poet‘s Path in Arroway. Can you guess what‘s in the bottom right picture?
It seems like I caught the flu at the end of my holiday. I am home now, pretty sick. Not even being able to read. 🙈
This is the house Robert Burns was born in Alloway.
Even though I am back now, I will be posting about the last days in Scotland. This is the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway.
pickAnother #auldlangspine pick from @CBee
This was so unexpected and intense. I loved it and definitely see myself revisiting it in the future. A haunting story of an odd little family in post-WWII Scotland, and a bright and sensitive young girl who is deeply unconventional and frequently misunderstood. Richly drawn and evocative portrait of a unique time and place. The writing is spare yet poetic. 4.5⭐️

Starting strong with a clear winner for January slipping in just under the wire before the month‘s end. This is a book I already know I‘ll re-read because it‘s full of gorgeous description and characterization. By turns hilarious, poignant, bleak, heartbreaking. #auldlangspine
A very blue library haul. I cannot for the life of me remember who or what had me request the tagged book! But I guess we will see how it goes.
Everyone seems to hate Extinction of Irena Rey so I thought I would give it a try 😂 I feel I enjoyed her last book more than others and I love to be a contrarian
I read about Vanishing Treasures in my research for possible Women's Prize nonfiction books. Not sure if essays count there
pickMoody, gothic, and beautifully written. It‘s an unhappy book, but it was really great.

March saw me finishing the very good Laidlaw trilogy. Laidlaw is a curious detective who makes few friends within the Glasgow police force where he works. I am curious to read the Ian Rankin book in which he reimagines Laidlaws early days.
