This was 100% #blameitonlitsy, specifically @Bookworm54 and @laurenbescoby 😊 I loved it so much, and in lieu of a review, here is a quote from the author‘s note at the end:
“This tale belongs to any time, even our own; it is about prejudice and ignorance, and a young woman wrongly accused, who is guilty of only one thing—the unforgivable crime of being different.” ♥️❤️

Crazeedi I have discovered so many new authors and books because of litsy! 3y
CBee @Crazeedi me too! I actually think you would really like this book. It‘s so beautiful and inspiring ♥️ 3y
Crazeedi It already took a screen shot to add to my tbr 3y

R is for The Raging Quiet

I didn‘t like the cover. I didn‘t like the blurb. It was a book club book, I told myself I‘d just read the first chapter and then make my apologies. Some hours later, I read the last page and realised I‘d read one of the best books of my life.

Bookzombie That cover is awful. 🙂 4y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Bookzombie, hideous but covering an excellent book 4y

This is one of my favourite books.

It is a sweet story about two outcasts, a young widow and the village madman, who learn to communicate with each other through sign language. The villagers believe that the widow must have bewitched the madman though, and accuse her of witchcraft.
I used to read this once a year. My copy is currently travelling the world though, so I haven‘t read it in a while!

AkashaVampie This sounds interesting! I'm gunna have to add it to my long long long long list of TBR 4y
ElizaMarie This does sounds super interesting. Oh and how is your copy traveling without you? 4y
Bookworm54 @ElizaMarie it‘s a part of a postal book group :) we all sent our favourite books with a notebook for people to write their thoughts in. Hopefully it will be back with me in a year or so 4y

Ahhh a giveaway! I haven't entered one in a while. Thanks @Endowarrior21!!

My favorite book is a YA read by Sherryl Jordan about a woman who makes what she thinks is a good marriage and ends up in hell. She's freed by the universe, only to end up in a bigger nightmare. Her strength amazes me and the love that blossoms between her and the local madman is the most beautiful thing in my life. I've read it a 100 times. #endowarrior21giveaway

1. Tagged book! Read when I was about 12/13 and it was the first 'grown up' book I'd read. Before that I was addicted to Ally's World!
2. Boudica! She was badass. Or Anne McCaffrey.
3. People who say they're time poor but are just bad at time management and prioritising. My friends partner complains he's too time poor to help her do DIY then plays computer games for 6 hours straight.

I fell in love with this book earlier in the year, it was a bit tricky to track down and I seem to have ended up with a withdrawn library book - it‘s in good order tho!

laurieluna My copy is very well loved, had it since I was 14! (Making it 14 itself!) I visit this book nearly every year. X 6y
TrishB I've recently got this too after @Bookworm54 said it's her fav! 6y

While I'm still waiting for Outlander to arrive (hope I can catch up 😣) I thought I'd share this cover and blurb shot of The Raging Quiet, the book I tagged in my last post. This blurb is much better than the one on the Litsy Library listing, and I much prefer this cover. This was my favourite book growing up, and is still a firm favourite of mine. It gets read at least once a year and I've had it since I was 14. #childhoodfavourites

laurieluna Also...remember when books were that price?! I've seen some paperbacks retailing at double this now.. 7y
Bookworm54 This is the version I have! And this is also one of my faves that I regularly revisit ☺️❤️ 6y
laurieluna @Bookworm54 it's such a beautiful story! Gets me everytime. 6y

laurieluna @thegirlwiththelibrarybag 🙌 yey! It doesn't lose anything either, I've read it at least 10 times since I was a teenager and it's always as good as the first time I read it. I just wish the author had given Raven and Marnie another book. 6y

TrishB Thank you 😀💜 great lists. I have just been brought some Pratchett in a book swop as somehow I've got to nearly 50 and never read any! Not that I've read it yet! 7y
laurieluna @TrishB you're welcome 😄 I love his books. They're full of dry English wit which I personally love. The TV adaptations they did are also fantastic. X 7y

I wasn't at all sure about this book (from the cover and blurb) but was soon hooked and had that GOTS TO KNOW feeling as the fate of Marnie and Raven slowly unfolded. Village life can be brutal when you start to buck the trend. I also had no idea that author was from NZ (this doesn't have any bearing on the story - just a fun fact)

#LoveToReread #17BookLove

I have already posted this in a different photo challenge this month, but The Raging Quiet is one of my most reread books.

I first read it at about 13 or 14 years old, after borrowing it from the library. I loved it so much that I immediately got my own copy, and reread it nearly every summer since! (That's around 11 years ago now, so that's a fair bit of rereading!)

Sunday morning breakfast. 😋 Earl Grey, a scrumptious caramel cupcake made by my friend (she recently opened a cake shop) and a new book. I'm feeling kind of watched though by the girl on the cover. 😂

#AugustofPages #BookPhotoChallenge #BookishFriends. Marnie and Raven have been one of my favorite bookish friends to visit since I was 12. I think they really affected me because I'm partially deaf.

QuoteQueen LOVED that book. 💚 8y
ValerieAndBooks Is one or more of the characters deaf? Now I am curious, as I am deaf myself! 8y
