What an amazing journey! Edward Rutherfurd's ability to weave historical events with fictional families and the trials and tribulations they endure thru the generations, never ceases to amaze me and keep me immersed. A great epic saga of Ireland.
I've just read an article stating that To kill a mocking bird, has been removed from a Mississippi schools reading curriculum.
The reasoning, that some of the language is uncomfortable. The 'language' being the N-word.

Everywhere I turn, I see distrucion in this city of Toronto. This is the view I now have for the next 5-10 years.
It make reading on my patio almost impossible.

Sitting in a cafe where they have a little library to enjoy while you're having a coffee.
Has anyone read this book? It sounds quite clever.

This is one of my top favorite novels.
It touches on love, and lust, the confusion of the two, human nature and a woman's worth; to herself and to the men surrounding her. This is a sad story, of could've beens.

I love Christopher Moore. He is hilarious and dark. He does for San Francisco what Anne Rice does for New Orleans. He captures the city so well it makes you feel like you know it.

Its funny; you know how it's going to end,
You've known before you even open the book to start reading. And yet, you are still an emotional wreck at the end.
I loved this book. John Boyne has never disappointed.

Book clubbing with @BooksAndChopsticks 📚
This is one of my all time favorite novels ever. I've read it three times. It was a tough book to get into, but once I did I was enthralled. A book has never infuriated me, or made me as sad and happy as this. I literally cried like a baby with its tragic ending.
If you can crack into this book, you will not regret it.

I'm half way thru this book, and I'm truly enjoying it.
The way it weaves thru time from WWII, to the time of the Romanov empire and Rasputin, to present. I'm very much loving this book.

I first read this book in 2004, and I loved it.
I reread it again in 2006, and it was even better. One day I will read it again.
This book is so charming and full of good feels. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but I don't know what happened.

There are moments when a book can dig into you and ravage your psyche. This book is one of them. A must read for those who love music and are passionate about mental illness. This book is not on any lists here yet. It should be. #asecretmusic #susandohertyhannaford

I broke my usual rule, not to read more than one book at a Time. To savour a book and be engulfed by it. Which is what happened when I got the Handmaids Tale on my kindle--which I rarely use- I will always prefer a real book. Anyway. I got it and was just going to read a bit...well I have finished the whole book.
It was brilliant. Has always been on my to read list, as I love Margaret Atwood.
Now back to what I was reading.

My Edward Rutherford collection is growing.
I love his books. The history of these great cities are captured brilliantly thru the generational stories of fictional families.
A great blend of historical facts and fiction.
