I‘ve lived in Gloucestershire for 35 years, so it‘s shocking that I‘ve only just read Laurie Lee‘s tales from his post-WW1 childhood growing up in Slad. The tales vary from almost whimsical to quite brutal recollections, covering both the hardship and the happiness of a lifestyle that no longer exists.

It‘s the 1950s in Italy, a country recovering from WWII. Valeria is 43, her children are grown up and she works and takes care of the family. Then she buys a notebook and from the moment she starts writing in it, she starts questioning everything in her life. Her marriage, motherhood, the expectations she had of her life. Is this all? The unrest grows along with her entries in her forbidden notebook.

November was a good reading month for me with 15 books read & 2 started-but sadly, not much progress with my Women Who Run with the Wolves reread.🩶🐺

I finished books for #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #NancyDrewBR
#BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR #RiseUpReads #MonthlyNonFiction #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #Roll100 (3) #AuthorAMonth &SeriesLove2025

A good mix of books, favorites were Living With Picasso, The Serviceberry & Aftertaste

My picks for December‘s #FictionalTraveler #HomeForTheHolidays (the tagged cozy mystery is set in a fictional holiday town in Oregon which is my old home/stomping grounds) & #ThematicCozies #Holidays (Jingle All the Slay which is a witchy holiday cozy). ❤️🎄💚

#FictionalTraveler

These are my December picks @julieclair - I think they‘ll all be fun!

Where will everyone be traveling for the #FictionalTraveler #HomefortheHolidays prompt this month? I‘ll be traveling to Virginia with Dashing Through the Snowbirds. 🎄

#FictionalTraveler will continue for 2026! I‘ll do a separate post with the new prompts, but feel free to comment below if you already know you‘d like to be added to or removed from the tag list. Everyone welcome!
