Given how much I love Greece I thought I'd enjoy this a lot more than I did. There is something rather lacklustre about the writing and I actually struggled to get through a few sections that were downright dull. There's a lot of navel gazing by the author & I admit to being rather cynical about her reasons for wanting to restore a house that held so many painful memories for her family & others. There was a book in it, I guess.

Started this one last night. We haven't visited Greece since 2019 and won't be till 2023 and I really miss it. Don't know if reading about it is helping or is a kind of very mild torture!

I finished this with the help of the Danish audio edition, but neither format made this a great reading experience. It might be my lack of focus or it might just be the story. But it was only in the third part of the book I actually started to care about the characters. But one character ended up being a real #UnderdogHero, but I won‘t say which so I don‘t spoil it for other readers. It was a sweet twist, though 👍

Been re-reading the series of unfortunate events. Found this gem in The Grim Grotto. I Have had it since 2001 so it's been awhile! It also came with the ring. I used to wear it everyday day, turned my finger so green! 😂 ❤😊😂 #bookmark #newoldfind #muchlove #frodocrush #dedicated #oneringtorulethemall

Finished this early this morning for one of my #25inFive books. It was great because my Kindle told me it would take me 5 hours and it was just about spot on! This was a particularly nice book for me since I have lived so close to the place where the book is set and I‘ve visited some of the villages. It made me feel ‘homesick ‘ for an area that‘s not even my home.

Sooooooo. School started (MFA here I come) and my reading for sport has come to a halt. I am reading, however, some really great journals for class. Oh...and audiobooks are a blessing when you drive 1 hour to school. #dedicated #writergoals
