so-soSome interesting stories. Author seems more of a fan of the boys than an objective biographer though.
johncadams Sadly often the way with these Royal biographies. A shame it wasn't a better read. 4mo

Thanks for the tag, @RaeLovesToRead 💕
Islands are right up my alley! 😊
1. So many... Anytime:
Japan (regardless which one - either one of the main islands ( esp. Hokkaido or Honshu again), or the Okinawan or any small Japanese one);
Taiwan
Ireland
The Channel Islands
Easter Island
Hawaii (any island)
or... Langeoog again.
2. if Japan (Hokkaido) or Hawaii: the tagged book
on Kyushu: Kafka on the Shore
on Honshu: any Murakami ... ⤵️
This is such a lovely book, it gives you a little overview of a different animal from British wildlife day by day for each day of the year. Each days reading is very short and it‘s beautifully written. Also got this second hand for Qa so it‘s been a great buy!
#savvysettings #train I read this so long ago , the author took this journey in the 1980s , Britain was in hard economic times.His conversations with people about the countryside , train travel history & what was then current was fascinating! Paul can be a curmudgeon, I thought it added to the charm.
❤️A few years ago hubby gave me these lovely roses.
💙I‘m reading a book about dot journaling that‘s pretty good so far.
🖤I tried a recipe for pasta sauce that turned out well.

If you are interested in the competing groups and players in occupied France during WW2 then this is for you. It focuses on the Bourdeaux region and is detailed and well-written. You get a real sense of the players.
pickThis took me months to read, but I savored every moment! Detailing the properties owned and/or maintained by the National Trust in the UK, this book provides lush pictures, detailed descriptions, and more. Breathtaking to say the least!

pickThis is a collection of recipes inspired by the novels and letters of Jane Austen, adapted by the author into contemporary versions. A few friends got together to celebrate all things Regency, Romance, and with comestibles selected from the book recently, and we cooked Bath Buns, Herb Pie, Spiced Mushrooms, Venison (substituted with beef) in White Wine, Buttered Apple Tart, and my contribution, Mrs Austen‘s Pudding. ⬇️
pickI did actually finish this, and I enjoyed most of it a lot, but I had a big old rant about the two aspects that irritated me... which I won't type again, because I can't have it living rent-free in my head ALL week.
