My January reads ...

Picture
Two books read, one partially finished and an epic slow read - that's my reading for this month.

The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse - Charlie Mackesy - read and reread (then hugged it for a while).
Little Women - Louisa M Alcott - read*
Jane Austen at Home - Lucy Worsley - partway through**
Midnight's Children - Salman Rushdie (still reading a few pages each day - getting there).

* Little Women has haunted me for quite a while. I read it as a teenager and wasn't impressed by the story, probably too young to appreciate the writing style. I then skim read it for my English literature degree at a time when I was falling out of love with reading - which is part of the course on an English lit degree! Due to these previous experiences, I've never felt that I'd truly 'read' the book and so it has remained on my 'TBR' pile for years. I'm glad I gave it a third try and enjoyed my time with the March sisters - I only wish the teenage me had been a little wiser when encountering it the first time but hey, ho.

** I'm loving 'Jane Austen at Home' so am savouring each detail as Worsley has explored so much more about Austen than  previous biographers. Well worth a read.
