Traveler at the Gates of Wisdom | John Boyne

Started this book and I can‘t put it down!! It‘s EXCELLENT. So shocked I haven‘t seen more reviews and that it was pretty much left off of all 2020 lists. Right now it‘s looking like #MyFirst5StarRead2021 #HiddenGem #Booked2021 #Pop21 #BookSetInMultipleCountries #ReadingAsia2021 #SriLanka

Cinfhen Really?? @Kalalalatja im SO IMMERSED in the story 3y

Librarybelle It‘s exciting to read that first great read of the year! 3y

Kalalalatja I was pretty disappointed @TrishB @Cinfhen I won‘t rain on your parade, but it wasn‘t what I expected from Boyne 😅 3y

Cinfhen I can‘t wait to see how it all ties up: I‘d use the word EPIC for this book @Kalalalatja @TrishB but I don‘t read lots of fantasy and I think this has an element of that which im enjoying (edited) 3y

Cinfhen It‘s definitely NOT a typical Boyne @Kalalalatja @Librarybelle but for me that‘s what‘s making it so good! It‘s unexpected and he certainly can tell a story 3y

Cinfhen I‘m loving it!! 3y

TrishB Now I‘ll have to get to it even quicker! 3y

BarbaraBB Oh wow I am intrigued now too, I had heard only mixed things about this one. And #SriLanka as well! 3y

Cinfhen I can always send it to you @BarbaraBB if you decide you want to read it 😘 3y

BarbaraBB Tempting 😉😘 3y

britt_brooke This one kind of blew my mind. So clever. 3y

Suet624 Wait. John Boyne wrote another book recently??? That man is prolific. 3y

Cinfhen Yes!!!!! @Suet624 but it‘s NOT your typical JB book. I‘m with you @britt_brooke I‘m amazed at his creativity and historical accuracy to pull this off. I can‘t wait to see how it ends. 3y

Cinfhen Hubby wants to read it after I‘m done @BarbaraBB then I‘ll send it to you ...assuming the world returns to normal and I‘m not on lockdown xxxxx 3y

BarbaraBB That‘s so generous 💚. Another lockdown? It won‘t be long before all of you are vaccinated I think, according to our media Israel is doing great. We haven‘t even started vaccinating yet 😫 3y

Cinfhen Yup @BarbaraBB today starts week 2 of a 25 day lockdown 🙄 apparently Israel has over distributed the first dose so now they need to slow down and hold back because they won‘t have enough for the mandatory second dosage required. They hope to acquire more doses in the coming weeks but who knows🤷🏼‍♀️meanwhile I think nearly a million people have been vaccinated in a country who‘s entire population is only 9 million so they are off to a good start 3y

BarbaraBB That IS a good start and I think it‘s a smart policy - even though you are in lockdown again (which I didn‘t know). We‘ve been in lockdown for almost a month now but infection rates have hardly decreased. I really need something to look forward to, like the vaccin, but politicians here keep debating on the how and who. Super annoying. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3y

Cinfhen This is the THIRD countrywide lockdown and so far none have really stopped the spread @BarbaraBB but I feel like we‘re in the middle end of this pandemic ( hopefully) 🤞🏼🤞🏼 it still blows my mind 🤯 3y
