pickMy last book of 2022

I have been wanting to find a book equal to the lyrical writing with nature like Where the Crawdads Sing, and I found this book was it,the story is much different and a little slower but beautifully written and I enjoyed it!
so-soI read 300 pages of the book and was liking it. At a certain point I was getting overwhelmed with the continual hurting of animals and had to stop reading. Now, I have to say nothing was unrealistic for that time period I personally just cannot bear too much of animals hurting and dying. I wish she had expanded the overall human story and less gruesome animals dying details over and over and over.

The tagged book is definitely keeping my attention. Yay!
#ReadingUSA2020 #Wyoming Found this book through Amazon Prime /I only read the first 3 chapters but so far I‘m hooked. Two families isolated, both wives have lost their husbands, about to face a harsh winter they decide to share the burden. Did I mention one husband has been shot by the other wife‘s husband because of an affair😱
pan2.5/5 ⭐️ The story bores me, the adult characters were horrible, stubborn, righteous humans. BUT! The writing was GORGEOUS. This author has quite a lush, vivid way with words. It‘s the only reason I stuck with the book. This passage in particular was really spectacular. I needed a bit more story and dialogue, for my taste. It was more literary fiction than historical fiction (although the tale is based on the author‘s relatives).
1️⃣Harry Potter. Song of Albion. On Dublin Street. 2️⃣ How emotionally invested in the characters I become; how rapid my need to finish the book becomes; well developed plot, characters; and just the right balance of description of the setting. 3️⃣ I stood outside the other night, barefoot in the grass, looking at the moon, and listened to the wind blow through the trees. So magical. #ThoughtfulThursday Wanna play ragged friends?

#Two4Tuesday 1️⃣ It depends on how involved the series can be. Ex: if it‘s a Ken Follett series, than yes. if it‘s something like a YA series, then no. Also it depends on how many years are in between the book releases. Sometimes I just wait till all the books are published, then binge the series 2️⃣ Finishing book 3 of Mr. Follett‘s Century Trilogy. 💐 @Megabooks @Stacypatrice @wanderinglynn @Meaw_catlady @DaveGreen7777
pickWhat a beautiful book this was. It read like a poem. This author writes in color.
This is a story where life comes from death and love comes from hate.
I can‘t say enough good about this artists writing style. Olivia Hawker is wise beyond her years. Not to be taken the wrong way, but I thought I‘d see a much older woman when I opened her bio. I loved this book from beginning to end. I even loved the author‘s note! I highly recommend this read!
What a wonderful book! Took me right back to the prairies that I loved reading about as a child. Such beautiful writing. If you liked Where the Crawdads sing and the way nature was described you will surely love this. It‘s like reading poetry in every page. Also there is sin, healing, redemption, love, and courage. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickFinished then immediately read it again. The story of two isolated families on the Wyoming frontier, 1876. After Substance Webber is caught with Cora Bemis down by the river, Cora‘s husband kills him, then goes to prison for the murder. Facing a long winter without menfolk to do chores on the farms, the two families move in together to help one another survive the harsh frontier. The tension, isolation, and heartache is SO GOOD. It ends hopefully!
