I forgot about the twist! 😂

First book for #auldlangspine @monalyisha @AllDebooks and after sleeping on my review I have to give it 5 🌟 again (was going to be 4.75 last night!) It also covers #weather and #landscapes for #naturalitsybingo2023.

AllDebooks Yay, so thrilled you still love it. I hate rereading a book, then struggling to see what I liked about it. Well done on ✔️ off so many prompts 👏😀 2y

Librarybelle I really need to read this one 2y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2y

Bluebird @Librarybelle me too! I‘m embarrassed to admit I‘ve not yet read anything by Daphne du Maurier. She‘s been on my radar since my college days but somehow I never got around to any. 2y

Librarybelle @Bluebird The only I have read is Rebecca, which is so good! I have a copy of My Cousin Rachel which I hope to read sometime this year. 2y

Bluebird @Librarybelle Those 2 and Jamaica Inn are the ones I keep hearing about. I am going to make a point of reading at least one before years end! Thanks to you and @jenniferw88 for prodding me to finally read Daphne du Maurier! 2y

Fen, Bog and Swamp: A Short History of Peatland Destruction and Its Role in the Climate Crisis | Annie Proulx

pick

My coworkers were laughing at my “bog book”, as they much prefer romances. A great read for #NaturaLitsy reading challenge (I‘m using as #landscapes) and while I don‘t think this is for everyone, I learned a thing or two about these wetlands. An essay here focuses on bog bodies and other creatures found buried in bogs which fascinated me. Slightly disappointed by the narration. I‘ll have to look up who it was; rather flat in tone.

sarahbarnes Every time I hear about bogs, I think of Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss. 😳 2y

AllDebooks I loved this 💚 & yes @sarahbarnes reminded me of Ghost Wall too 2y

Jess You had me at bog bodies. Moving this up on the TBR list. 2y

batsy @sarahbarnes Same! And I'm automatically interested 😆 2y

SamAnne I almost picked this one up in the bookstore. The only thing that gave me pause is that I'm not the biggest Proulx fan. Might have to reconsider! And yes, oof, Ghost Wall! 2y

AnnR Nice review and I'm glad you liked it. I own the audio so I hope the narrator is tolerable. 2y

Chelsea.Poole @sarahbarnes @AllDebooks @batsy @samanne I didn‘t realize this about Ghost Wall…placing a hold on that ASAP! 2y

Chelsea.Poole @Ann_Reads tolerable, yes…I‘m just spoiled with so many excellent audio performances I think! 2y

Chelsea.Poole @Jess right!?! I‘ve been fascinated with big bodies since reading about them in elementary school! 2y
