pickWow! Totally worth the hype :) I prefer her more recent works but this was riveting and I really enjoyed the #audiobook . Great palate cleanser from all the holiday stories. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
Finished my 8th #10BeforetheEnd book.
This is a short novel which finishes in a very different tone than the mocking one with which it starts. Written during and published just after WWI , it‘s about the horror and futility of war but also the very human ability to see only what one wants to see, until the scales from one‘s eyes are forcibly removed. Still relevant.
pickNot my usual Christmas fluff that I read this time of year but a wonderful historical fiction novel with a Christmas backdrop. Written in epistolary form, this story will have you cheering for the characters and reaching for the tissues!

This edition is not going to work! It‘s an oversized book in terms of it‘s dimensions (wider & longer) and the print is minuscule. Each page is like a blur of ant prints. I‘m going to have to get the first of the tetraology as a stand-alone book.
@Ruthiella I may have to try the audio on YouTube. 😉 I just found Bill Nighy reading it! 👏🏾
Driveway and sidewalks are shoveled and it is now time to warm up with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book!
This will be my next bedtime chunkster. I don‘t recommend this edition - the print is tiny, despite the beautiful cover! 😵💫
I had just purchased this tagged book for my brother when I read this in A Letter for Mary.As a very young precocious reader,my brother was wild for Tolkien & owned many first editions.He lost everything in a fire when wild fires in CA burned down his house,garage, brewery.His family got out;he suffered burns on his arms. Fortunately I had borrowed his letters from Father Christmas, so he has this original book.We sibs celebrate #Jólabókaflóðið
