Thank you!
The first 10 chapters and last few were really good.
Though the chapters in between contain things that might need trigger warnings that I wasn't aware of.
Some poignant reflections on coping/not coping with grief, & how they missed the happiness while searching for the sadness.

Book 4: Pearl by Siân Hughes
I'm loving Pearl. It's beautiful, tinged with sadness, and a lot that resonates.
I've been listening to the audiobook & following along with the ebook on Scribd. And it's bittersweet it's so short... but Siân is writing a sequel & I'm going to need a copy both!

Banjawarn by Josh Kemp has hooked me in. I got into a bit of a slump around reading and after dnf'ing A Spell of Good Things.
But when I picked up Banjawarn I found I was turning pages easy enough!

Book 3: A Spell of Good Things
Started this over the weekend, and switched to the audiobook so I can multi-task... not vibing with it yet.

Good luck! 📚
I'm on to book 3/13 with A Spell of Good Things.
Not sure I'll get them all read by the winner announcement but I'm giving it a go!

Just finished and I'd say the context for the story is in the title and revealed in the 2nd third & then unravels! It was well done!

Book 2: Old God's Time.
I'm 1/3 through but was thrown off by things I'd seen about this book elsewhere. I had an inkling about Tom's mental stability & then looked up the meaning of the title. It made the first third make sense. I think it'll unravel & we'll see it more clearly in the next third.

I don't think so... if it brings us closer to the mc in a way that makes us more invested as the rest of the story progress, then go for it

It ended up being quite moving.
I still didn't like all the long sentences, and lack of speech marks (just a personal preference).
But I want to look into the history this book is based on

Enjoying Akarnae (which I always want to spell Arkanae 😅)
It's easy to read. I appreciate books that don't require work when there's a lot going on in life.
I'm also a mood reader.
Part of my struggle with the Booker longlist - being in the frame of mind for a set reading list & the heavier themes

I completely understand! 😅 I'm also hoping I don't end up in a reading slump after the longlist! As a mood reader long books and a list of set books to read can be tough!
It's good when you get a chunky book but it doesn't feel long!

It was definitely different. But it was pretty easy to get into the habit of being very conservative with power usage (we started out with a small power system). It gets hard with prolonged poor weather and wanting more conveniences. But super satisfying on good sunny days! ☀️

I didn't intend to live off grid - the decision came about whilst building my home due to the outrageous expense to get connected to the grid. So I didn't pick the area for ideal conditions 🤦♀️ I live next to a mountain range which accumulates the long white clouds NZ is famous for 🤣

I'll take any and all excess sunshine and trade clouds, rain and chilly temperatures 😅

I like part 2 better so far! Part 1 is wild & natural vs the 'civilised'. My friend Nic said 'history is hideous to look back on sometimes.' 💯
For a short book, there are too many sentences that run on and on, and on...
A few elements of the story have stuck with me. So at least that's something.

That's a great rating! The biography of his father sounds really interesting, and I like it when a book inspires you to dive in further! I just finished Lonesome Dove which was inspired by Don Quixote so I plan to get into that one after the Booker longlist.

Those look interesting, if you do get to read them, I'd be keen to know what you think of them!
