The Marriage Portrait

The Road to Unfreedom

[maslina]

What fun to learn more about your reading through this tag! The Road to Unfreedom is now on my list. I can always trust your recommendations.

Your table and chairs are lovely...so are your cupboards! Our bottom cupboards are very similar green as well, such an organic pretty colour.

You've had a painfully hot summer! Amazingly Croatia has been unscathed in the heat department until now. Hope reprieve comes your way very soon.

Oooo this is a good tag, I’ll do it in the next week or so! I’m loving seeing each review in a different background lol. I like to see people’s houses and stuff 😂

Nice execution on the TImothy Snyder! :)

Interesting tag! I don’t follow publishing trends either. This would be a tough tag. Your answers were great!

[BandysBooks]

Yay! You did the tag! It’s so interesting to hear what everyone wants to see more and less of in publishing.

I kind of get you on Maggie O’Farrell. I felt similarly about Hamnet. It was well written, but not really a subject that interested me. I did like The Marriage Portrait significantly more, but it’s a piece of history that I found interesting. It sort of threw me down a whole rabbit hole. 😅

Frustrating when you have a book that the masses should read, but won’t. I’ll have to check Timothy Snyder out.

I'm glad to hear that you liked The Marriage Portrait. I have it waiting for me on my e-reader, but I have heard some mixed reviews about it.

I literally just got rid of a book with a movie cover! And yes they should diversify the country the books are set in.

Good to hear your thoughts on The Marriage Portrait; I think it may be in my top 10 of the year, but we’ll see! Have you left Spain and are back in USA? 😊📚
