Books! How do you read and what do you read?

[Marquest]

I’m reading Kristen Hannah’s “The Four Winds”…. Set during depression/dust bowl— first in Texas panhandle then in California.

Not a ‘fun’ read but well written and gripping. Kind of like reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “The Long Winter”. Jerk me out of any complacency and self-pity about how my life is going and any so-called inadequacies in my life.

Hi CinammonSugar, I read that book a couple yrs ago, agree with you thought it was too long
2 of my favorite books by the author' The Great Alone' and' Nightingale' Sue

I really loved Nightingale. Was The Great Alone the one in Alaska? Bc I didn't like that one, about domestic violence which is on my list of no-more-books-about!

I read the synopsis of "The Great Alone" and I'm like you, @Marquest, I put that one back on the shelf for the same reason.
