Hope you all had a good week as we step into the depths of January. I had a good reading week and listened every opportunity I had to The Dream Daughter.
I have kept my one word in mind! I realised that sometimes it can mean move -away! Yes away from the computer and social media! Partially successful!!
And this morning I went to my first class in Tai Chi. I really enjoyed it and everyone was very friendly. So apart from next Monday which is a holiday I’ll be a regular I do declare!
What I read last week:
I finished listening to The Dream Daughter – a time travel book that was very, very engaging. Loved it. Then two historical fiction books and a contemporary one. Nice to have a mix.
What I am reading now:
One from the library
And listening to

I loved Marilla and it made me want to reread all the Anne books! I’ll be curious to see your review of The Dream Daughter. I want to read Diane Chamberlain but the whole time travel element makes me hesitant. Have a great week!

Katherine I won’t be doing a full review but I did enjoy The Dream Daughter. The time travel is done really well the story was quite original. It held me – can recommend the audio version.

And Marilla of Green Gables sounds interesting, since I only recently discovered Anne.
Enjoy your books this week, Kathryn – and thanks for hosting!

I hear ya; it can feel good to be away from the computer and to just enjoy an audiobook. I love how you are trying tai chi! You may inspire me to go back to yoga (just laziness on my part).

Great on the Tai Chi…maybe I should try it again.
I see they changed the cover on THE DREAM DAUGHTER.
SUITCASE OF DREAMS and THE SPITFIRE GIRLS look good.
ENJOY your week.

Wasn’t The Dream Daughter good! I wasn’t so sure going in that it would be for me but I loved it. One of my favorites last year. GFY on your word!

Glad you had a nice week in more ways than one. My word this year is “hope.” Suitcase of Dreams is on my list. Marilla is my first book, but I had to break away from it to review books I committed to. Looking to get back to it once I’m done. Hope you enjoy it.

I just noticed that two of your books have the word “dream” in it and the other two have the word “girls”. Perhaps you’re following a theme? I’ve been eyeing Marilla. I hope you’re enjoying it!
