I really, really tried. I‘ve loved her other two books but this one just didn‘t do it for me.

I‘m not sure if I would have liked this more if I had read it at a different time. Multiple people said it was humorous, I didn‘t see that at all.

Beautiful art and thoughtful, honest writing about what it means to different individuals to be trans. I learned much💗💙

What an wonderful story of the Weyward women. And so beautifully written. Loved every moment 🪳🦗🐝

Been anxiously waiting for this to come out. It certainly did not disappoint ❤️☀️🌈

Lovely, captivating and heartbreaking.From a whale washing up on an English beach to the end of WWII Britain. I greatly enjoyed it.

What a fantastic book. I even learned a few new things about Tommie Smith. A must read.

Fascinating graphic novel about love 💗 based on the Greeks, sociologist, poets, psychologist and scientists.

Some how this powerful novel, based on the actual life of Jewish artist, Charlotte Salomon, has missed my attention until now. Heartbreaking on so many levels. May Charlotte and all the other Holocaust victims memories be a blessing.

Fantastic and heartbreaking ending to a great trilogy!

Fantastic graphic novel memoir about Akim Aliu, a Ukrainian, Nigerian, Canadian hockey player. Powerful story about his unique road to the NHL.

Fantastic read about a young Sami woman and her family. Devastating and heartbreaking. Broke my heart to see another indigenous people be treated so harshly. Very glad I read this!

I absolutely ADORE these films and have had this for ages and had not read it. Omg I love it as much as the movies. There‘s always been magic in these stories.

I love everything that Sarah Miss writes, so I went back and found this earlier novel. Greenland, an archaeological dig, a pandemic starting back in “civilization”. A chilling and oddly terrifying novel. A truly great read.

Superb writing, fascinating story go back and forth in time.

Bear town‘s story continues. This one gets very intense and 💔. You fall in love with these characters as if they were people you know.

One man‘s story, hunted by press his entire life. Yes, this is how he sees things but empathy for all this man has gone through. He certainly doesn‘t sugar coat things, including his own mistakes. Glad I read, Diana‘s son‘s book.

Incredibly creative use of fairy tales to create a whole new modern story. Wonderful writing. Such a quirky, unique read. Loved it.

What a jewel of a story. Claire Keegan writes so beautifully and takes you to the heart of her characters.

😳 wow, even better than expected 🐻 🏒 🇸🇪

Fantastic read. How do you deal with a serious health issue for your child?

Continuation of the wonderful tales of 44 Scotland Street.

So much to say about this masterpiece. I could talk about the fact it‘s based on Dickens‘ David Copperfield, Barbara Kingsolver‘s incredible writing but truly the protagonist Demon is the magic.

To be able to write like Elspeth Barker-wow. A gothic, Scottish tale, starting with the murder of a teenage girl.

Such a quiet, beautiful, thought-provoking gem of a book. My only question is when do we get the third in this series??? Exactly the book I needed🥰

What a lovely book about Hilda‘s life. Sadly her story is not wildly known. Not only was she an innovative artist but lived her life as a woman before her time.

Wow, I feel the female protagonist has a bit of every woman in her. The writing is stunning, the emotions are raw, one of my favorite books of 2022.

A wonderfully unusual book. Pain, curiosity, family and loneliness with a smattering of “objects”. Couldn‘t put it down.

I wasn‘t sure what to expect with this one when I started. This is one man‘s experience with Jan 6th. I appreciated his authenticity and honesty. Glad I read it.

This is such a Scottish book, in countless ways. I adored this family saga and it‘s twists, turns, and even the annoying aunt/mother.

Several reviewers called this funny…no idea how they got to that. I‘m still unsure how I really feel about this Catalan novel. I think my biggest problem is I really disliked the protagonist but also feel so sad for her.

Isabel Allende never disappoints. This book is in honor to her life long belief in feminism. So rare to find a fellow human that has so many similar beliefs to myself.

What an absolute joy! That‘s really all anyone needs to hear. Just read it, it‘ll make you happy 😊

I was just young enough in the 70‘s that I never read it but now…❤️❤️❤️

Thespians, Shakespeare, youth, and serious drama. I enjoyed every moment.

Wonderfully done graphic novel about Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War and it‘s impact on a family and their neighbors.

Damn you Douglas Stuart, you write a damn fine book.

I cannot lie, this terrified me. So many signs that fascism is growing all around the world😢

One of the best books about the Holocaust that I have ever read. (And I‘ve read many!)

A remarkable woman of faith and courage.

This really is more about how to bring happiness and contentment into your home than just bring in huge. Meik uses all the wonderful research to help you great a happier and calmer home❤️

One day a caucasian man wakes up and he has transformed into a brown man. Slowly his entire community transforms. Thought provoking and beautiful!

Not my fav of Winterson‘s books but interesting and comical in spots.

This might be my favorite of her three books. You‘d think this book is about the 1,000miles they walked from Scotland to Cornwall but it is truly about so much more. What I will say is that “hope” is everything.

A former student of mine came by to visit and said, “I just finished a book that you have to read!” That doesn‘t happen everyday, so of course I got it. My former student is transgender and so is the protagonist. Awesome and realistic story. I work with several lgbtq+ kids and it always helps to read of experiences others have had. Awesome story, that will make others realize that they are wonderful as they are!

What a joy to read. Liz is my kind of poet!🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I‘m a sucker for anything that‘s drops the F 💣. Appreciated her honesty about her life and how she purposely and authentically made changes to be happy. Anytime a book ends with a Paris story about buying a dream 👜, you just know it‘ll be great. And yes, I did by myself flowers- not lilies but sunflowers!

Someone said that this is a quiet book and I love that description. Just add the sound of the sea. Beautifully written, I‘m so disappointed it didn‘t make the Booker short list, it deserved to be on it. I rushed home each night to have a chance to read this stunning novel.

Three monks, an island off the coast of Ireland…

This is one dark story 💀
