Kicking off the new year with some book reviews. I read North Child by @epattou over Christmas and loved it. If you like fantasy adventure this is for you. Rose can't escape her destiny and finds herself on an epic and sometimes dangerous quest to right a wrong. Fab winter read.
Was thrilled to kick off the Writerās Retreat last night ā¤ļø and to introduce one and all to the classic Sondheim song Iām Still Here, sung by the inimitable #ElaineStritch āGood times and bum times/Iāve seen āem all/Iām still here!ā #imstillhere#surviving
Finally read West by @epattou, sequel to one of my favorite books of all time, East. It made me cry, gasp, laugh, and I loved it just as much as the first. Rose is even braver and stronger, and I related so much more as a mother. Worth the wait ššāš¬ goodreads.com/book/show/3182ā¦
A beautiful, epic story of destiny, magic and love... We couldn't think of a more perfect book to curl up with on long winter nights than #NorthChild by @epattou āļø Join Rose in this spellbinding adventure that's perfect for fans of @sophieinspace and @PhilipPullman āØ
