panThis Orcadian verse SFF novel with accompanying standard southern English version tells the story of a student returning to a space station from her art studies who forms a relationship with a visitor to the station.
While it was fun matching up the two versions and listening to the audiobook on Everand, there seemed to be a lot missing from the actual story which suddenly just stopped in the middle of the action. A disappointment.

L to R: Libby, Kobo, 📖Physical & 🎧Audible
There‘s been lots of major cleaning & very little reading taking place this week but, that being said, I have these open books for any downtime & 🎧some tasks.
pickJanet is misunderstood, dismissed, and made to feel “other” by her family, peers, and teachers in her girls‘ school in Scotland. She wanders her family‘s dark, crumbling, rambling castle. Janet feels deeply, especially affected by animal suffering, and feels at peace in nature. She grates on the nerves of those around her with her ‘know it all‘ ways. It‘s an atmospheric read with excellent writing and striking imagery. Short but feels long. ⬇️
The bingo gods were not with me for this month‘s #bookspinbingo! I did get bingo, but look at all those almost ones!!
