My armchair travels took me to

London, England (Bleeding Heart Yard); Ireland and Nova Scotia (The Sea Glass Beach); Iceland (Animal Life) ; Perthshire, Scotland (Driven) ; Whitstable, England (The Vanishing of Margaret Small) ; the Pennines, England (The Hiker) Northern England (The Vanishing Tide) ; Wales (Cliff Edge) ; Pennsylvania, USA (A Quiet Life) ;and finally Scotland (The Dead of Winter)

In this past month I’ve read TEN titles.

I enjoyed every one of them, some more than others of course.

“A Quiet Life” by Ethan Joella
AND WORTHY RUNNER-UP:

“The Vanishing Tide” by Hilary Tailor

I feel very lucky to have access to so many wonderful books and hope that you had a great reading year in 2023. ♥
