pickBeautifully written story about the strained relationship between a mother and daughter. I love Kristin Hannah and I enjoyed this story a lot. It was a bit sappy in parts, but it reminded me a little of Firefly Lane with some of the content which I liked. Loved the characters and the story.
Friday arvo op shop spoils on my way home from work whilst waiting for the bus who nearly went straight past my stop! Now I‘m on the train. Yes our Sydney to Newcastle trains are this ancient and purple. Ha! Grand total $13.
Some of the books I hope to read this month

pickKristin Hannah books always make me cry. But in a good way. She brings real emotions to life. This story of a mother & daughter, estranged for years until now. Lost loves, lost lives, complexities of life and marriage.
pickA good read from a Kristin Hannah, but quite an emotive journey so make sure you bring tissues with you. A good book but still not my favourite Kristin Hannah book.
The last book of our #ChristmasBuddyReadathon
Thanks to those that played along.
Started listening to Summer Island by Kristin Hannah, which I am reading as part of #20in4.
pickEnjoyable, heartbreaking, and emotional. Great story and characters. I liked how the characters were growing, and they learned to forgive and move on. People hold on to their bad memories and emotions too tight, believing they know the only truth, only to learn, way later on, there might be more to the story…

This is a book about Nora Bridges and her two daughters, Caroline and Ruby, and their mother/daughter relationships. It tells about the situations in the past that separated them and the healing and forgiveness that allowed them to move forward. It is a heartbreaking story so if you read it, don‘t forget the tissues. A Kristin Hannah winner!

so-soThis is a book about holding onto anger & how doing so can get in the way of happiness. While I have loved some of K.H. books, this 📖 doesn‘t rank high for me. My main qualms were the stereotypes used to bolster the story, the predictability, and the fluff in the writing. However, I did I appreciate the authenticity incorporated into her characters & the complexities of emotions that often impede familial relationships. 🛑: homophobia, cancer
Rainy day so I‘m snuggling on the couch and starting this Kristin Hannah.
pickI loved this book I loved Eric so many true to life things going on in a way but I'm not sure about the end of the story.....it all kinda wrapped up in a nice little bow of sorts and not all of us can go home and back to our first loves even if we at some point wished we could
so-soEnjoyable but not as good as I hoped from previous reads from K H. Interesting to learn about the San Juan islands off Seattle though.
pickWow such a great ending to this book. It seemed a predictable, nice story about a daughter and mother‘s relationship, but the ending definitely got me 😭 I‘m reading while driving with my hubby, trying to hold in my tears so he doesn‘t wonder wtf is wrong with me 😂
I'm so glad I learned of Better World Books from a Litsy friend. Not only do I get to fill my bookshelves and add to my "Gramma Library", I'm also helping fund literacy programs around the world.
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️: a good book by Hannah- perfect read in between more difficult themes. A bit predictable, but still one that I enjoyed.
She Remembered how it had felt and tasted, that slowly descending depression, like a thick glass jar that closed around you, sucking away the air you needed to breathe, creating a barrier between you and the world.
