#Read2025

Finished this one yesterday, it‘s the 2nd of my March #Roll100 picks (#51 Any Library Book) & the 5th book from my #AuldLangSpine list from @JacqMac & I loved it! A historical mystery centered around a real-life midwife, Martha Ballard. I found the mystery gripping in how it unfolded & the look at midwifery in 1779 in Maine was interesting. The author‘s notes in the back about the choices she made in telling Martha‘s story were also ⬇️

DebinHawaii … absorbing. I found it sadly interesting just finishing it yesterday before reading chapters 5 & 6 in this month‘s #SheSaid pick (tagged below) on the entitlement of medical care & bodily control of women, just how much hasn‘t changed.🤬 An enthusiastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ it will go on my Best of 2025 list & I‘ll look for more of the author‘s books. Thanks to @JacqMac for the nudge to read it & @monalyisha for her excellent #AuldLangSpine matching. 🤗 (edited) 2w

I‘m getting a jump start on next week‘s book club book since Ozzie currently has me trapped on the couch.

tpixie Oh! I hope you enjoy it! I loved Martha! She also had a great marriage! Her descendants were Clara Barton- Red Cross & Dr Mary Hobart, an OBSTETRICIAN, one of US‘s first female physicians. 🩵🐱 🩵 (edited) 2w

My #ChatterDay started late as it was hard to get going this morning because I left my house at 4:15 AM to get to the airport & got back home from Hilo at 10 PM.😵‍💫

So, breakfast, coffee, finishing this book (I‘m at 84%) which is SO GOOD & then finishing my #SpringCardSwap before running errands. (Yes, they‘ll probably be a little late).

How‘s your Saturday/weekend going?

TheBookHippie No worries they always arrive at just the right time. I just got the last valentine and it was such a hug for my day! 2w

Thanks for the #ChatterDay tag @TheSpineView 🤗 I‘m back at the coffee shop to try to finish up my work project after getting a little reading in while I have breakfast.

I hope to get to addressing my #SpringCardSwap envelopes & catching up on some #LitsyLove mail before I run my errands.

Bookwormjillk That coffee looks amazing 3w

tpixie This book was so great! Martha was a remarkable woman. The marriage portrayed was beautiful. Her descendants inherited her strength- Clara Barton ( Red Cross) & Dr Mary Hobart ( one of the 1st female physicians in USA) 🦋🦋🦋 3w

A mix of history, romance and life lessons during a time when women were expected to be seen and not heard. Really enjoyed it.

This lives up to the hype. Push it to the top of your TBR. Martha Ballard is a strong female character/historical figure who you'll want to meet. This will make me look to read Lawhon's other books. DO NOT skip the author's note at the end!

LoverOfLearning This book is exploding in popularity! So many people seem to love it. 1mo
