Lovely ❤️ and sad 💔
#tbrstackread

BarbaraBB Just that cover breaks my heart! 4y

squirrelbrain I loved Five Children and It - this sounds too sad though. ☹️ 4y

TrishB @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain as it‘s written for children a lot of the sad bits are very subtle! But that subtlety makes it even sadder as an adult. 4y

Cathythoughts Sounds really good 👍🏻❤️ 4y

Queen Victoria: Daughter, Wife, Mother, Widow | Lucy Worsley

pick

You know when you get to a certain age in life when everything they taught you in school is revealed as a lie. I‘m there. The Victoria/Albert love thing, nope. She loved him, he was a bit of a nasty shi*.
Great read, learned a lot. Didn‘t really like Victoria and the arrogant, superiority complex that underpinned the British Empire makes me cringe. I know we have to read things of the time, but it‘s still horrible.

TrishB Using for #thinkpink #booked2020 it has pink on its cover (a lot!) and it‘s about a woman. Though definitely not a feminist woman. @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft 4y

TrishB Another one off my #tbrstackread (edited) 4y

Cinfhen Great review and gorgeous book cover💗love the bookmark too 4y

MsMelissa I hate it when what you think is true is proven to be false! I think schools really need to rethink how history is taught! 4y

Velvetfur That reminds me of a book my ex read and told me about, I think it was called 'Victoria and Albert', in which it claims that Victoria was unhealthily obsessed with Albert and he spent most of his time trying to find distractions in life to get him away from her! 4y

TrishB @Cinfhen 😘 book is lovely looking and has great illustrations. Bookmark curtesy of @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ❤️ 4y

TrishB @Book_Fiend_Melissa I think 🤞🏻 it‘s much better know. I ask my kids and they don‘t seem to get the flannel I got. Or maybe they see through it 🤷‍♀️ 4y

TrishB @Velvetfur this account portrays him as trying to always control her and feeling not properly masculine because by virtue of her situation she was always above him. 4y

Velvetfur @TrishB Hmm, interesting.... I suppose everyone's got their theories about their relationship but who really knows for sure.... 4y

TrishB @Velvetfur the fun of history! 4y

Velvetfur @TrishB Haha! I bet the current royals know everything, I bet they say stuff like "wow, Vic n' Bert were a right pair weren't they?!" ? 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage So much of history is like that! Especially depending on when it was written and who wrote it. 💕📚👊🏻 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen I‘m going to send you one ❤️❤️❤️ 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TrishB 😘 4y

Reggie The first sentence of this review is why I loved Wicked the book. ❤️ 4y

TrishB @BarbaraTheBibliophage yep, hard to find the facts! 4y

TrishB @Reggie 👍🏻 exactly! 4y

The President Is Missing | James Patterson, Bill Clinton

pick

#tbrstackread
Put this off for ages, but really enjoyed it and the chapters did fly by. It‘s a political thriller and you have to try and guess who is also the treasonous back stabber!
Bit of a preachy presidents speech at the end, bet I can guess who wrote that!

The Hours Count: A Novel | Jillian Cantor

pick

#tbrstackread
Somewhere between a pick and a so-so. The story is a pick, the writing not so much.
I‘d never heard of the Rosenbergs before reading The Bell Jar, they don‘t feature in British history! They are a fascinating story though, this book also confirms the stereotype I have of late 1940s/50s US, communist paranoia and everyone smokes!
Were all women as gullible and naive as Millie in this though?
Gift from Cindy 😘

TrishB #booked2020 #bottomofthetbr - literally one on the bottom of a stack. @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft 4y

ReadingisMyPassion I read this with my book club. We had the same opinion as you do, 4y

TrishB @ReadingisMyPassion it certainly kept you turning the pages, but lots of holes. How was Millie living with no Ed and no money? 4y

squirrelbrain I hope the stack didn‘t topple when you pulled this one from the bottom! 4y

Cinfhen Agreed!!! Bad writing fascinating topic ❤️Glad it finally called to you!!!!! 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Great job, even if the book wasn‘t so much! 4y
