I forgot to post a picture of my #jolabokaflodswap box when I sent this out last week. It traveled up the east coast and should be arriving today. Enjoy!

@TheKidUpstairs tagged me in a post about favorite books from our #AuldLangSpine matches from previous years. It was fun to reflect on books I wouldn‘t have otherwise read without @monalyisha and her matchmaking skills.

pickJust loved this! One of those books that I had completely the wrong idea about, and was only persuaded by another reader to give it a go.
'Your English is perfect,' Joan said, watching me thoughtfully. 'Edward was worried we wouldn't find someone.'
'I learnt at school. From Sister Mary and from reading Woman's Own.'
She laughed loudly, again. I laughed too. No one found me funny on the island.
'I see. Well, it's perfect. You could pass for an Englishwoman.'
Joan looked out at the sea.
'Greatest country in the world.'
[Sensing an authorial raised eyebrow here]
Only one Audiobook in November. Kinda shocking. But I think December will be filled with AudioBooks because school started back up.

pickBeautiful writing and a bleak island life. Whilst a little predictable in the romance element, still held its worth. I liked the portrayal of young life and the natural and harsh world. Also a good time of the year to read it.
so-soSuper quick listen. I overall enjoyed it but didn't love it. So I am gonna vote “so-so“. #BookSpin @TheAromaOfBooks
