Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone | Diana Gabaldon

pick

It has taken me time to put together my thoughts after finishing this saga. The love I feel for these characters and the heartbreak/joy I experience when they live their lives is a testament to the authors ability to weave a compelling narrative. The pulse throbbing worry I get at the most intense passages will always be a fond memory. Definitely worth the time spent. And that last line… #nospoilers #recentlyread #outlander #historicalfiction 😳🥺

‘What about this man Oldmanter‘s natural tendency to violence?‘

‘He acts within the law.‘

‘That‘s easy if you write the law.‘

The Ministry of Time: A Novel | Kaliane Bradley

so-so

My journey
😀😀🥱😀🤔😴😵‍💫🥺

Loved the premise. Loved the beginning and as I‘d read other books about The Terror & Franklin‘s Arctic expedition I immediately connected with Graham, one of the MC‘s

But it got boring. I started not to care. Almost bailed, but had heard the latter part of the book was good. Not for me. Didn‘t enjoy the ending. Glad it‘s over.

Moving on…..
3 stars because parts were great. Sadly, the sum of parts was just so-so.

LoverOfLearning Your review is funny, that I enjoyed ha 2d

LeeRHarry Totally agree with your review. Excellent premise but definitely fell short. I knew a bit about the Arctic expeditions too as John Franklin was born down the road from where I was so those bits were interesting but I did not care about the female MC at all. (edited) 1d

Bluebird @LoverOfLearning thanks! 😊 17h

Is this where we're headed?

dabbe Besides Covid, another reason I retired from teaching was the fact that our district adopted a reading program that just had the kids read parts--even of short stories. Read the section, analyze. Read this section, analyze. No wonder they walk out hating to read! Where is the reading of an entire novel? Or even a short story? I just couldn't do it anymore. 😞 4d
