Hi. Thank you ShinjiniMar for recommending the vine witch trilogy. I have now read all 3 books and thoroughly enjoyed them all. I can also now claim a line straight through the middle of the book bingo card.
Ravaged by war - The Beekeeper of Aleppo
Meaning to read - A Tail of two Cities
My choice - All my lies are true
Released in 2021 - the Conjurer
Recommend - Mrs Garnet’s Angel
I’m now working on a full house!
Loving this challenge it’s making me read things I wouldn’t normally and finding lots more books I love.
Hi Shinjini and anyone else who’s part of this book club. It would be so good to hear from you. I’m so glad you enjoyed The Beekeeper of Aleppo and after your comments I will look out for the Vine Which trilogy.
Books I read in February are:
Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewel Who is British so that’s for author from your own country. A good modern day thriller.
Mrs Garnet’s Angel by Sally Vickers and Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris both recommendations from my sister. I thoroughly enjoyed both books but Mrs Garnet’s Angel may not be to everyone’s taste - you have to believe in the transforming power of art. 5 quarters was excellent and as it’s about a family in occupied France during WWII it could count for the ravaged by war prompt as well.
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, this is a book that I’ve been meaning to read for ages. ( I’m slowly going through all the classics).
So that’s 4 books in February and Empress Orchid by Anchee Min that I’ve just finished in the first week of March. That’s for an historical novel with a female protagonist. It’s about the last empress of China and is an excellent read. Full of wonderful descriptions of the clothing and great Chinese works of art.
I’m also claiming The Thursday Murder Club which I read in January for in cold blood and Once upon a River for in love with the typography.
