'Hamnet' by Maggie O'Farrell.

A very long, often beautiful exploration of the grief parents feel at the death of a child. While the story takes pains to never say that this is about William Shakespeare, it's clearly about the Bard & his witchy wife, Agnes(Anne).

A lovely book about surviving the real and metaphorical winters of our lives. Ideally read while resting in a cozy nest with an endless cup of hot tea at hand and a storm raging outside. #booksky #bookrecommendations #nonfiction #memoir

This book is about people like me—probably the first time a psychologist has identified my 'type' of person. It should be a fascinating read for anyone.

Loving the story-telling style of this sort-of-history book so far. 🇳🇱 Bit of an odd combo - backdrop of the idyllic Dutch towns with calming windmills against the roar of Bruce Dickinson. Northern Europe theme to both I guess.

A box containing several copies of a book called The Everyday Naturalist: How to Identify Animals, Plants, and Fungi Wherever You Go. It has a dark blue cover, light green and cream text, and the front cover's border is full of a variety of brightly colored wildlife.

The eBook is finally live on AZ (other retailers to follow) It's the publisher's first book, and there is a learning curve. Still, those who can't afford to spring for a paperback can now pick up the eBook. Really proud of this one.
