Getting there.

Starting a new book this weekend. The pull of DCI Ryan brought this one to the top of the pile! Lady’s Well it is then. #Booksky #Crime #Fiction

Busying myself with some mindful crafting today.

Next up, I’ve enjoyed other books by this author.

Started the week with book 18 in the DCI Ryan series. As it’s only Wednesday and I’ve finished it, which is good going for me, tells you it was another great book!

Hello, Cumbria, Western Lake District, Uk. My sister lives in San Mateo, CA

Loved this book and this author has totally captured me. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #Booksky #Fiction

Without romanticising the unrelenting harshness of the wild environment the inhabitants have to work and live within. I find myself in awe of her writing. #Booksky #Fiction

I find her writing of nature combined with the human element so powerful & reminiscent of Hardy and Lawrence (must return to at some point).The parochial presentation of her writing portrays perfectly the Cumbrian rural community Without romanticising the unrelenting harshness of the wild environment the inhabitants have to work and live within.

Ironically the little dog who accompanied Harold part of the way on his pilgrimage was a Border Terrier! #Booksky #Film

Watched The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry last night, read and loved all the books of Rachel Joyce. Gave me goose flesh at the end with identical shots to those we took 18 months ago when my husband had been diagnosed with aCML and was awaiting a stem cell transplant. #Booksky #Film

Another novel by Cumbria author Sarah Hawes. I walked in Mardale in the summer drought of 1995. . It was both fascinating and eerie walking where the water would normally be. I remember walking over the Chapel Bridge which was visible and the ruins of buildings.

This was such a personal and moving read by a brave author.

Fabulous novel as are his other works.

A wonderful writer!

A new book ready for a new week. A change of genre - a romantic horror. #Booksky #Fiction #Reading #Books

Great book! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟#Booksky

It’s opened, I’m going in!!

Next up. Picked this one up in a charity store, it’s had great reviews. #Booksky

Sarah Hall is a new author to me this year. I love her writing , this short story is no exception. Amazing how much emotion she has packed into 36 pages. Her use and description of nature adds passion and impact to her writing. A story of never really knowing someone nor being able to possess them.

Thank you. It’s my favourite! Apart from being green it’s so pretty!

Incense burner on and Mrs Fox next. A short read. #Booksky
