1. A native Phoenician who still lives here but who harbors a heart yearning for mountains, pine trees, and lakes.
2. I couldn't think of a book taking place in Phoenix, but the opening of the film PSYCHO by Alfred Hitchcock was filmed here! 🤩 I also tagged my favorite D. Gabaldon book, OUTLANDER. She's lived in Williams, AZ (NW of Phoenix) for years, and is a local favorite.

Tag, you're it!

I wish I'd made time for this book sooner. It's been sitting on my shelf since its release. I even pre-ordered it! I am glad to have read it now, though. I liked the way Sam took us through his life, so far, in relation to his journey on the West Highland Way. It was a fun perspective, while also being poignant. #16-2024.

1) I live in Germany. My kids go/went to a German school, but it's a very different school system from my own East German primary school experience: basic sewing skills, basic gardening skills, basic DIY skills. Yes, they learnt that at home, but it's different when they learn it at school among their friends.

2) Wow, tough question. Claire might be able to sew wounds and improvise a splint, but she can't cook.

So hard to choose! But the one whose books I continually go back to would have to be Diana Gabaldon. Thanks for the chance to win!

I‘m finally feeling like I‘m going to get better so I‘m dusting my bedroom and killing myself with allergies. This includes rearranging TBR bookshelves. This one has 65 books I haven‘t read and 8 that I have 🤦🏻‍♀️ these are primarily second hand book finds. I have a problem. ( the 4 DG books and the Lunar Chronicles series are read ) #worldbookday

Thank goodness for leap year/day..it really helped me finish my last book of the month. 😂 Looking back, it seems I spent the month reading about war in three different time periods. 🤔 And a handful of spies, too!

I finally got to this YEARS after buying it on a friend‘s recommendation. I found it really compelling and it kept me turning the pages, but every time I stopped to think about it I was thinking ‘wow I don‘t want that‘. I think it‘s a very well-done historical romance but I think I have very different fantasies from Claire and Diana both!

Will i finish this before libby returns it? Maybe? We will see. Lol

This was the hardest book for me to get through. It was not bad, but it was not great either.
