I‘m really late to this book but can‘t wait to get started 📚📚😊😊

Wonderful book, finished it about a week ago... Isabel Allende is such a great story teller ... this captures the time of the Spanish civil war and victor and Rosers story as they leave Spain for Chile and all that entails ... wonderful story spanning real events and some real people in the fictional story ....that spans a life time ..... absolutely recommend

Wakenhyrst | Michelle Paver

About half way through, different to Dark Matter and Thin Ice but very good draws you in slowly..... such a lot of detail...... spanning five centuries there‘s a lot of folklore and the fens and waterways around the house are very much a part of this book ... so far I like it a lot!!

Old Filth (Revised) | Jane Gardam
post image

Read a few weeks ago ... it‘s a book that although I wouldn‘t have thought it would, has stayed with me and keeps popping back into my thoughts .... interesting, a mans life as he gets older and is retired ... how his life has unfolded from birth in Malaya on wards ..... I dont think I‘d read more of this series but fascinating anyway 📚📚😊😊🌺🌺

Go, Went, Gone | Jenny Erpenbeck

So so enjoying it but feels a little slow in parts .... it‘s very relevant to our times ... a retired professor enters the world of a number of refugees in Berlin .... very interesting 👍👍📚📚

What a wonderful series of books, all four are amazing .. such a moving saga ... I‘ve just finished the fourth and final book ... I will absolutely re read all four at some point ... they‘re so intricate .. the story for a childhood friendship that runs through the veins of the two main characters and the books ... wow.. I‘m so pleased I‘ve read them but so sorry to have finished them ....

My final end of 2019 tally ... I‘m not a super fast reader so I don‘t think I did too bad .. I‘d hoped for 30 so fell a little short but sure I‘ll get to more in 2020 ... first book of 2020 Melmoth by Sarah Perry!!!

New book group read ... book group this morning (lovely catch up and tea and cakes) .. then Christmas shopping and a Cosmopolitan after braving the shops 😀 think this will be a good Christmas read .. “sinister” “frightening” and “gripping” are the words describing it on the cover 📚😀🌟✨

I‘m about half way through this ... each chapter is a different year featuring the house and those that come into contact with it ... won‘t put any spoilers here .. it‘s all a bit weird .. I want to see it through to find out what‘s going on but it‘s weird enough I also want to just give up hmmmm

Just finished this book ... wasn‘t sure I‘d like it and the start seemed a little over loaded with a lot of characters but as I got further in with it the style of writing and the more details that came through about the characters .... I really enjoyed it ... it‘s a debut novel and I‘d definitely read more of his booked based on this one 😊
