#OOTD Day 5

#5JoysFriday

1) I found our wind telephone with the help of a friend.
2) #FallCardSwap arrivals. All are just lovely spots of joy.
3) #SundayBuddyRead merch and the enclosed card. The douchebag in my head really does need to shut it 🤣
4) Finding Joy in Resistance. It hurt my heart a little to cancel Disney+ but it brings joy to put my belief‘s into action.
5) And finding new businesses to support. My new shirt is on the way.

Second to last book club book for the year. Obviously I've heard of the story before, but this is my first time reading it. Just what I imagined so far.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

This is the story of two Cree soldiers who travel from Canada to fight in the trenches of WWI. I found the beginning very slow and didn‘t enjoy the stories told from Xavier‘s POV about the war until it got to the end but I did like Niska‘s stories about life in the bush and Xavier‘s childhood.

I think I just done like historical fiction much.

The book is good in the last third and I‘m glad I stuck with it.

Almost every time I read a new Heyer I decide it's up there as my favourite! This one isn't quite as funny as Sophy, but I think it shades it for romance - Sir Richard's declaration made me swoon.

Not my normal cup o‘ tea, but the plot ties to the American South and the enlightening look at the lesser known trades (pottery and whaling) of African slaves drew me onward. I mistakenly thought this a romance novel at the outset, but soon grasped the historical fiction supporting story arc underneath a sensitive narrative about generational trauma for black people coupled with personal tragedy and how that could shape lives.

Just a lil sip of prosecco as I update all my book sites with latest reads… #audiobook 🦒🦒🦒

Wow! This book starts with a bang 💥
