I read this....

I've FINALLY finished reading this book!

This charming historical novel is based on the life of Alice Liddell Hargreaves, the woman who was the inspiration behind Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.
I have to admit I found this book very slow moving at first, but by the end I was sobbing. A lovely read!

I just finished reading this.......

It's been absolutely freezing here in Ballarat. After a long day of cleaning, unpacking (yes I'm still unpacking) entertaining kids (back to school on Monday, yay!) I just couldn't wait to jump into my lovely warm bed and read this great true-life novel. So inspiring! A must-read book.

Finally finished reading this book!

Suite Francaise is a novel set in the year France fell to the Nazis. It follows the day to day lives and trials of people living in France during the Nazi occupation. Sadly Suite Francaise was never completed as the writer died in Auschwitz in 1942. Irene Nemirovsky paints a beautiful picture in your mind of every day domestic life during a time of war. Its so sad the book was not completed as some of the characters were so interesting and I would have loved to have known what happened to them. A lovely read.

I must admit I had alot of trouble following parts of this book as it constantly jumps from different places and characters which was at times confusing. I will probably read this book again.

Read any good books lately?

Happy reading everyone :)
