After two years of doing this I think I still have enough unread books to continue! So I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

pickI had this on my shelves for at least 11 years and never noticed the Ophrah's Book Club bubble. I'm not sorry I finally read it but the blurb on the back uses words like "sweet" and "tender" and for me it was brutal! Women trapped in awful marriages with no love. I wonder what I would have made of this if I read it long before I left my own marriage. It was another book from the 90s where the 10/11-year-old acts very much more grown up ⬇️
This was a book club pick. A very fast paced book but predictable. There was a movie made on this that I need to watch. Kathryn‘s says good bye to her pilot husband Jack not knowing it would be the last time she would see him. His plane goes down and an investigation starts to see if terrorists are involved #winterreading #library #familydrama
so-soI have been searching fir this book for 2 years after reading Joy School. I found it in a charity shop:)
But it's a bit twee, a bit break up trope and cringy... I'm jot sure I'll seek any of her others...

I found this feather during my walk yesterday. #darkblue #coverlove
so-soSydney‘s story of how he grew up is heartbreaking. However, he begins to find his way around he seems to have lost his identity and the book rambles on quite a bit…. which makes it hard to follow.
