The Lion Women of Tehran | Marjan Kamali

Excellent speaker tonight. If you enjoy hearing an author‘s perspective I encourage you to enjoy the Girlfriend‘s Bookclub on Facebook. It‘s fun to read the books and then see, or hear, behind the curtain. There are wonderful guest authors and compelling questions. I‘m impressed with what is offered in this group and it‘s free - and from my couch. The Lion Women of Tehran was an excellent and rich story of enduring friendship. 5 ⭐️

Wolf Hall | Hilary Mantel

Two books I‘ve been putting off reading merely because of their size … thinking of starting one today

TiredLibrarian I loved Wolf Hall. It did take a while to get into it because of the writing style, but that might just have been me. 6h

quietlycuriouskate I loved Wolf Hall, too. I've yet to read Lonesome Dove, but have heard only good things about it. 5h

Suet624 I‘ve read Lonesome Dove twice. So, so good. You can‘t go wrong by picking that up. 3h

Hooked_on_books I read Wolf Hall last year after putting it off for similar reasons. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading the next book. 3h

The Miniaturist | Jessie Burton

so-so

That was...underwhelming. So little was actually revealed that I might even pick up the sequel in hope of getting some closure. The ending feels extremely open and after 400 pages I'd like something with more substance to it. On the bright side, there was a lot of Dutch history, food and culture depicted.

Have been eating Vla pudding all of last week since they come in 1l packs😂

BarbaraBB Cool that you‘ve been eating vla. It‘s still quite popular amongst children. I haven‘t eaten it in years! 8h

Lunakay @BarbaraBB I love all pudding-style desserts, but that's a favourite because it's such a lovely, light and creamy option🤩 And the duo is just amazing🤤 8h

Texreader This book was a thin pick for me. 8h

I'm glad I listened to the audiobook for this one since I didn't know how the word "viscount" was pronounced ?

When Christ and His Saints Slept | Sharon Kay Penman

Forgot to post yesterday! For some reason can't concentrate on the Penman novel so it's off to the west.
Really enjoyed the Le Guin book and looking forward to the hygge book next weekend.
