panI made it through! Honestly, I do not see how this novel works after being scrubbed of the fic. The emotional weight of it relies entirely on feelings readers bring to it from HP. Genuinely, nothing here for me. Very curious to see the wider world's reaction to Alchemised but I don't think I'll be reading it. I don't trust that the publisher invested in the editorial work this would have needed to stand on its own (if that edit were possible).
pickwhat a great book,an absolute joy to read . Iv already decided to gift this book to my elderly neighbours this Christmas, & why isn‘t Susan Fletcher more well known ? , It‘s bonkers shes a fabulous writer & il be seeking out the rest of her books. This is a far superior read to Richard Osmans Thursday murder club which was ok but nowhere near as good as this.mollie & I finished the book whilst visiting Bath last weekend ,where we met the author
Another morning coffee.Overall the tagged book was a good read but I did find Alice rather immature.
It‘s a dual timeline story. It‘s 1881 & the love affair between Austin Dickinson & Mabel Todd is explored. Move to 2013 & Alice Dickinson(no relation)is researching their story to write a script.Her quest takes her to Amherst where she finds”love,”secrets, & betrayal in the lovers story & her own.Emily D hovers ghost like on the sidelines.A so-so.
pickReally liked this. There was something in the writing that reminded me of Fresh Water for Flowers.
Would definitely recommend ❤️
pickLovely literary mystery with just the right amount of cozy. A touch too long in my opinion but the writing was great.
I‘m the first person to crack open this library book, it‘s almost like I bought it myself 🥰🥰

Belle, the Last Mule at Gee‘s bend is a heartwarming HF by C.A. Ramsey and B. Stroud, illustrated by J. Holyfield. In this story, a boy learns that an ordinary looking mule is quite special. This mule, Belle, had a role in this small town‘s fight for equal rights and was even part of Dr. King‘s funeral procession. I recommend this book as one piece of an AS about author Bettye Stroud.
