Books like this do a little to lessen my remote island obsession.

A captivating story about the mystery of Easter Island, ecology, culture and two women who - decades apart - try to carve out a path for them in the world of science. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Who wouldn't want to visit this lovely little second hand bookshop at Nymans estate (National Trust) in Sussex?

Happy #WorldBookDay!

I recently finished River Sing Me Home by Eleanor Shearer.

Beautifully written, informative too.

For me, this is what good books are all about: a way to understand, reflect & learn about other people, cultures, countries - past, present, future.

Let's keep reading!

The new releases shelf in a bookshop at the Jakarta Airport last night. Easy to spot what is the theme here! Maybe it's time to go beyond Ishiguro and Murakami

30 books in 2024. New authors, old favourites, a few disappointments but positive surprises too.

Fiction: I especially loved Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, Devotion by Hannah Kent, and Blood & Sugar by Laura Shepherd-Robinson. Non-fiction: Politics On the Edge by Rory Steward was brilliant

Love the graphs that @thestorygraph.com app produces. In 2024, I mostly read books that are emotional, reflective and sad. Yes, that sounds about right 😊
