This edition is not going to work! It‘s an oversized book in terms of it‘s dimensions (wider & longer) and the print is minuscule. Each page is like a blur of ant prints. I‘m going to have to get the first of the tetraology as a stand-alone book.
@Ruthiella I may have to try the audio on YouTube. 😉 I just found Bill Nighy reading it! 👏🏾
Driveway and sidewalks are shoveled and it is now time to warm up with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book!
This will be my next bedtime chunkster. I don‘t recommend this edition - the print is tiny, despite the beautiful cover! 😵💫
I had just purchased this tagged book for my brother when I read this in A Letter for Mary.As a very young precocious reader,my brother was wild for Tolkien & owned many first editions.He lost everything in a fire when wild fires in CA burned down his house,garage, brewery.His family got out;he suffered burns on his arms. Fortunately I had borrowed his letters from Father Christmas, so he has this original book.We sibs celebrate #Jólabókaflóðið
pickThis book was everything I want in a historical fiction book. A young woman in post-WWI England makes a bold new friends running Hazelbourne's Motorcycle and Flying Club who changes her life. It's a book about class and war and pandemics and societal change and feminism and racism/ xenophobia and so many other things. I absolutely adored it.
pickThis was my #Canada #FoodAndLit read from November, and my November #DoubleSpin
It follows two Cree, an aunt and her nephew who goes to war with his friend.
It was such a good read but hard going! I enjoyed it though :)

pickWritten in snippets before and after WW1 we learn of a young mother's need to give her baby to her parents to raise as her brother due to societal expectations. The author's note at the back shed much light on a time frame I rarely read in historical fiction- WW2 is much more common, in my opinion.
