Totally brought to tears on page 551 and 552. This has to be one of the best books ever in life. Anybody‘s.
Reading time before work. Yoshi and a book. Yay #dogsoflitsy
Just about to start this epic 774 page book for my work book club! Each term someone picks a book and we get together in the pub after work in the week before we break up and have a pint and talk about it.

Mine would be Birds of Prey by Wilbur Smith, another Chunkster - perhaps this year! #24in48 #30HourChallenge
