pickA novel written as 3 stories. At first I didn‘t understand and even wondered if I misunderstood this was a novel. At the end of the 3rd story it all makes sense and the author‘s notes explain she wrote this way so the reader would feel like they were separated from the rest of the underground cells in the resistance. So, I found the 1st story just too creepy for my tastes. Then the 2nd story was fabulous. Keep going. Don‘t give up.
pickQuiet rainy Saturday. 1st part I wasn't sure what was going on. Checked Goodreads reviews and saw that it was 3 Novellas that came together in the end. Once I started 2nd part I was hooked. Excepting getting up for more tea, I finished book in one 'sitting'. Few unanswered questions at the end but that went with not knowing all about people who disappeared in WW2. 📚 #springstacks #lazybookday #mountbr #covercaughtmyeye #literarygardens
Leave a comment with your favorite purple spine book and a little snippet of what it's about. I really would like to collect more purple spine books but preferably would like to enjoy them. Out of this stack The Sea Garden is my most recent read purple book and I really enjoyed the story. The book follows 3 different stories that all come together and wrap up nicely in the end. There's war, love, and mystery. I loved it!
so-soPart of the story is somewhat contemporary while another part is set in WWII. A lot of good writing and conflicting and convoluted plot points.
Day26 #AprilBookShowers #gardentitle Here are the titles with 'garden' in them from my Goodreads 'read' stack. Four novels--several quite foodie, 😋🍴 two cozy mysteries from a series set in English gardens, a book on growing gardens of herbs for tea and an herb garden cookbook. Some definite favorites here--even if my thumb tends to be more brown than green! 🍏🌸🌳🌻🌱💚
#riotgrams #authororcharacterwhosharesyourname I've never fond of my name which I guess hit its heyday in the 60-70s as there were 3 in my kindergarten class. I was forced to be Debra which I hadn't learned to spell since I went by Debbie & I was traumatized.😳Here's 2 authors & a character who share my name (not the spelling for Lawrenson but I forgive her because she writes beautiful books & is a sweet person). Macomber is probably the most...
pickI didn't really get into this book at first, and then all the sudden I was sucked into the story! The separate story lines confused me at first and I didn't get what the author was doing, but then I couldn't wait to see how they all connected!
