I was asking Davida from The Chocolate Lady's Book Review Blog for some ideas of memes I could join in with and she suggested I could join her twist on #ThrowbackThursday.
The gist of her Throwback Thursday is to highlight one of your previously published book reviews. I love this idea as it brings wonderful books to people's minds that they might have forgotten or not even heard of.
For the Twists/Instructions and to link to Throwback Thursday visit her here. The Chocolate Lady posts on the Thursday before the first Saturday of every month, but you can link to her blog all month. I might make this a fortnightly post (possibly, don't hold me to it).
I'd love to know if you join in.
With You in Wild Orchards by Rania Battany
From my review:
In her novel With You in Wild Orchards Rania once again wowed me with her ability to write a character I related to deeply while putting my emotions through quite a bit for the 5 or 6 hours it took me to read it.
With You in Wild Orchards is a story about grief, love in its many guises, finding yourself and finding and following your dreams, and secrets and choices and their consequences. A story about living with an illness that affects your life and the choices you make, good and bad. A story that has made me wonder what I'm truly passionate about and whether there is a way for me to follow those passions once I figure them out.
Rania has once again made me look at myself and the way I cope and manage my emotions and challenges (I guess I need to be reminded occasionally about this) and whether they are really working for me. It's a story with real, slightly flawed characters who are trying to live their lives the best they know how while dealing with the ups and downs life throws their way, just like all of us.
