The Brimstone Wedding | Barbara Vine

#WhereAreYouMonday

I have way too many books on the go, so am literally literarily all over the place! ðŸ˜‚ But the one I‘m reading the fastest is the tagged book, set in a rest home outside of a Norfolk village in second half of the 20th century. A carer at the home befriends one of the patients and it turns out that both of them have secrets they are hiding.

This book is also one of my #10BeforetheEnd picks.

tpixie I sometimes spend a lot of time on maps when I‘m reading books. I think every book should come with a map and markings of every place/address. ðŸ—ºï¸ 2d

Ruthiella @tpixie Honestly, I wonder how I ever read without the power of an internet search engine before! ðŸ˜‚ I look up so much stuff - from clothes to maps to foodsâ€¦ 2d

Christy | Catherine Marshall

#WhereAreYouMonday I fell behind in the chapter a day pace with the rest of the #RandomClassic BR so I‘m still trudging in the snow on the way to Cutter Gap, Tennessee. I‘ll catch up soon. I‘m enjoying my first read of Christy.

Cupcake12 This sounds interesting x 2w

Ruthiella I thought this was pretty good but difficult at times due to the subject matter. I‘ve not read A Little Life. I never will. 2w

Megabooks I don't think I could stomach this one, but I've though about a To Paradise reread this winter given what's going on in the world. 2w

BarbaraBB @Megabooks I know nothing about the one I am reading and where it‘s leading towards, but I‘ll be prepared. And I can see a reread of In Paradise as just the right time for it. 2w

Altes Land: Roman | Dörte Hansen

#WhereAreYouMonday

This Monday I‘m in Northern Germany, outside of Hamburg with a newly separated mother of a toddler and her eccentric Aunt Vera, who came to the village as an ethnic German refugee from what is now Poland after WWII. A bit romantic comedy, a bit family history, a bit satire on society, especially city life vs rural.
