pickThis #Chunkster has taken me a while, but I really enjoyed it!
A historical novel mixed with some folklore, based on the ill fated Franklin expedition to find the north west passage.
I watched the tv show a while ago which was amazing, so I am glad I have finally managed to read it :)
(Ash isn‘t super impressed about joining in for the photo)
I have a feeling that I‘ll do better in March, but February wasn‘t too bad of a reading month. My biggest success was finishing Anna Karenina for the #KareninaWinter buddy read. Better late than never! #chunkster 😅
(March 2, 2025)
I was planning on doing a combined book report/weekly forecast post, but there are too many books for a single coherent photo!
So this week‘s #BookReport: finished 4 books started earlier this month:
Sea of Tranquility 8/10
Book Lovers 7/10
Cley 6/10
Small World 7.5/10
And read a further 73 pages of the #Chunkster The Bonfire of the Vanities

I thought this was fine. I waited too long to read it and it has won so many awards, it could never live up to the hype.
Overall I love how readable it was, and even with 739 Thomas's it was easy to keep track of who was who, credit to Mandel that is no easy feat.
Do I think Cromwell needed?
I‘ll be living with Olga for awhile. (10 weeks as a read along) Slow going because I have to make a note or look up a word every other minute.
What a ride! Halfway thru Book 2 and I‘m a bit nonplussed by the mysticism of Kabbalists. “The air is full of eyes…” 👀👀👀👀
#Sharreadathon #chunksterChallenge2025 #chunkster #SeriesLove2025 Started this one today. I‘m kind of ahead of myself because I watched most of the TV series!🤭📺 I remember Sharon‘s insightful posts,I love that this group remembers our Littens ! It is a generous community. ❤️
Beginning this #chunkster tonight. I hope to read a chapter or two each day to finish it by year's end. 🤞
My book finally came in the mail! Starting this #chunkster for #READLESMIS I‘ve always wanted to read this, and there‘s no better way than with a #buddyread with fellow Littens! Hopefully I will catch up soon!
I‘m loving Monsignor Bienvenue. He is giving, kind, and insightful.
