#LitSolace

It's Sunday, and now officially my favourite day of the week.
What are your plans for tonight's #Hyggehour readathon. Anything Irish creeping in to celebrate St Patrick's day? 🍀
I find it as relaxing/comforting catching up with all your posts as I do taking an hour for myself.

@Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

Faranae Won't be reading it for Hygge Hour, but I've been reading Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu as my Irish author for this month on my Twitch stream. My Irish friends approved. XD 2d

#Naturalitsy #LitSolace #SpringEquinox

I don't know about you guys, but I am so happy to see some signs of Spring springing. The daffodils are budding, the apple blosson is finished, the birds are singing their little hearts out. 🎵

What signs have you spotted? We hope you've been well and are ready to celebrate a new season with us.
@TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

Prairiegirl_reading The geese are coming back early this year! 3d
TheBookHippie Nothing yet. Although we aren‘t buried in snow like usual, no signs yet. I don‘t usually plant til after May 15. We have snow through April in “normal” years. I do long to garden. It so short that everything is “green” here. Still in the 20s F here at night. 40s F in daytime. Which is a heatwave for March! 3d
TheBookHippie Was January long or what?! February flew by. March is going decent speed as well. 3d

kspenmoll I have seen some daffodil shoots, we have had some unusually warm days, but now it is in 30s/40s. Haven‘t needed a winter coat lately so spring must be around the corner! 2d
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie It really is flying by. I think that's why I love our #Hyggehour time to slow down and relax x 2d
AllDebooks @kspenmoll still quite chilly here too but I'm loving the longer days x 2d
Catsandbooks Spring has indeed sprung in MS! Temps in the 60s/70s. Everything in bloom. And more rain storms, which we've desperately needed after being in a drought for so long. I could do without the bugs and pollen though 🤧 1d

A Room With A View | E.M. Forster

#Naturalitsy #LitSolace

My #Fridaynightshare choice for Spring fiction is the perfect A room with a view. It has everything, a coming-of-age novel, set in Florence and Edwardian England, with seering, comedic portrayal of polite society. I absolutely love it. In my view, E M Forster is on par with Jane Austen.

A mammoth analysis of the Russian revolution that is well worth a read. Figes broaches the historical figures with a compassionate but critical eye, scrutinising key events that led to the overthrown Romanovs, revolution, and catastrophic change for so many. The repercussions of which are still felt a century later. It is endlessly fascinating.

I was absolutely swept along with this amazing book. The plot is intricate and skilfully crafted. The characters are fantastic, flawed, and oh so realistic. Oh and the plot twists are fantastic!
I loved it so much that I went straight onto the sequel, The Shadow Cabinet.
Both books get 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me.

Cuilin For a book that could have been dry, I found it exciting, compelling and informative. I loved it! I will be reading more by this author. I loved the relationships, the petty arguments by letter, the voyages, even Cpt Blythe showed up. The casual racism, slavery, and Imperialism though of its time was still frustrating. Overall well written. 3w
TheBookHippie I love it. Almost done reading. 3w
jlhammar Enlightening read! Really enjoyed. In Part I, I thought it was so interesting (and kind of funny from a modern day perspective) that Fairchild felt the need to attribute his hybrid to accident. And the uproar over and resistance to the Linneaus classification system, “inadequate because the sexual organs of plants were 'mere geewgaws'“ was also fascinating (and amusing 😆). 3w
jlhammar This bit from Part 2 made me chuckle “His worst insult he saved for the hated Siegesbeck, who, as punishment for having so relentlessly criticised Linnaeus's sexual system, will be forever remembered in Siegesbeckia, a stinking weed that thrives in wasteland.“ 3w
jlhammar Lots of disturbing behavior in Part 3 such as Banks and Solander taking Tupia, a Tahitian priest, back to England to “keep him as a curiosity.“ I liked how Banks gave his wife a brooch of dried moss and she was less than enthusiastic 😆 “fool that she likes diamonds better.“ 3w
Bookwormjillk I spend a lot of time removing invasive plants and re-planting with native species, so I had had to chuckle at the topic of this book. I enjoyed it although I got all of the people confused. 3w
yourfavouritemixtape I liked it a lot. It was very interesting and very entertaining to read. I also thought Fairchild‘s problem with his hybrid was fascinating. As well as Linneaus‘ story. 3w
AllDebooks It was a completely unexpected read. I, too, thought it might be a bit dry and stuffy @Cuilin But Wulf has done a fantastic job at tracing these mens lives from the UK, Europe and the States. I was fascinated by the petty squabbles and felt for Bartram. He really was taken advantage before the subscription boxes started. 3w
AllDebooks Who knew Linnaeus was such as ass? 🤔 3w
AllDebooks I was quite surprised that a number of species I thought were native to UK are in fact, from the Americas. 3w
Cuilin @AllDebooks I wondered if the author regretted naming her daughter Linnea. 3w
Cuilin @jlhammar 🤣🤣🤣 3w
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I had this same thought when watching a Catherine The Great documentary about her gardens. She grew food from the Americas to prevent famine but also flowers. One never thinks of things like that or I guess I didn‘t. 3w

The first thing I did this morning was check out his back catalogue 'cos I want more #horror. 📚📚📚

Any recommendations?

SamAnne The Only Good Indians is my absolute favorite so far. Loved it and the themes it explores! In fact, got me reading other horror novels, a genre I didn‘t dip into much. And really enjoyed Mongrels too. I liked his novella Mapping the Interior. Next up for me is Night of the Mannequins! I liked My heart is a Chainsaw okay, but I‘m not a slasher film aficionado and it didn‘t have the same appeal for me. 1mo
AllDebooks @SamAnne I think The Only Goid Indians will be my next choice of his. Thank you for the tips. x 1mo
Reggie I really liked his short story collection When All the People Lights Have turned Off and his book, Demon Theory. And I also like his Zombie Bake-Off. 1mo
AllDebooks @Reggie thanks. I'll check those out too. Zombie bake-off sounds hilarious just from the title. 🤣 1mo

Oh my, I'm utterly entranced by this so far. To be fair, though, I am obsessed with botany. 🍀💚🍀

Cuilin I‘m enjoying this read more than I thought I would. 🫶 1mo

I enjoyed this new one from Stacey Halls almost as much as The Familiars. The story revolves around Angela Burdett-Coutts and the charitable home, Urania cottage, she establishes with a consortium of philanthropists, including Charles Dickens. It is a refuge for fallen women to give them a second chance at a decent life. Worth a read.

#NetgalleyGroup

Thank you to #Netgalley and #Canongate publishers for access to an arc for review.

Within just 100 pages, McMillan paints a very rich and honest account of a family growing up around the miner's strike, in Thatcher's Britain. Alongside a developing relationship with Ryan, Simon floats between jobs, trying to leave his mark on the world as a drag queen.
Cont. ⬇

AllDebooks Cont.
The characters are portrayed so well for such a short book. I found it full of hope, love, loss and in an empowering way, grief. McMillan also lands a political punch at the rise in poverty, the loss of community and camaraderie between the miners. The passages describing the men coming out of their houses early every morning, setting off to the mine in a communal walk were especially profound and moving.

What an extraordinary debut.

Happy Imbolc day 🍀💚🍀
I've just been for a wander around my garden to see what's showing signs of life. The apple blossom is budding, snowdrops and daffodils creeping out of their winter slumber.
I couldn't resist bringing a tiny bouquet of hellebores and snowdrops indoors to welcome the 1st day of spring.

@TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

LeeRHarry Love snowdrops! We don‘t get them here in Australia and I miss them. 2mo
