pickI greatly enjoyed this entry in the Poldark series, not least because Henry Harvey the industrialist shares a surname with some of my ancestors (who may have lived in the area...I don't have a family tree on hand to confirm). Looking forward to getting my hands on the next book!
pickThis book revisits the Poldarks after a ten year absence. It felt like a transitional book, moving the overall saga forward without having major plot developments.
This might be frustrating for some readers but as I‘m committed to the story I still greatly enjoyed it.
#reindeerreads day 3: historical fiction
This is my current bus book and is set in 1810-11. I'm enjoying the series; I found books 5 and 6 tough emotionally but I've managed to get back into a nice groove with 7 and 8.

Poor King George III ?
pickAdmittedly I did struggle to get into this one because of the 10 year jump from The Angry Tide, my favourite trio from the previous 3 books, Sam, Drake and Morwenna hardly show up, and Ross and Demelza's oldest children are all grown up... There is a lot more political/war talk but once I got used to the Poldark kids being the front runners I did really enjoy it. Not sure what to make of Stephen Carrington however... #poldark
