Thanks JoAnn, there’s a lot of canola fields in bloom right now. Yellow, yellow!
I think you will like all three of the books you list. Nesting is potent and a bit hard to put down. Fifteen Wild Decembers is fascinating. And A Marriage at Sea is a survival story that is pretty unfathomable to contemplate. All are thumbs up! Hope you like them sometime. It has been a good year in books! Happy reading.

Thanks Haze. It’s nice that we had a few days without rain — so I could mow the jungle of the yard. The plants seem to be loving all the water. I can believe there was flooding in various areas … it felt like a lot all at once. I’m still looking for a bit of sun this week. Hope your reading is going well. Cheers!

Hi Jane, the canola fields are really bright and in bloom right now! Pretty nice and yellow all around.
A Marriage at Sea was a solid 4 star read … if you like survival tales — it’s a doozy. I had not heard of these people before but now I know! I plan to review it soon. And I think you will like Fifteen Wild Decembers … I had no idea about the Brontes inside life until this novel. Interesting insight. Hope you like it.
Enjoy your weekend. & happy reading.

I have a friend travelling through Canada this summer and he’s posted a few pictures of the Canola fields. So pretty! I usually use just EVOO but always have Canola on hand for baking.

Eager to hear what you thought of A Marriage at Sea–I have too many books on the go right now, but I still want to read it this summer.

Thanks for the heads up on Fifteen Wild Decembers. Emily Bronte has fascinated me for years. Will definitely be reading this one.

Hi Tracy, glad to hear you use some canola oil. This province is home to much canola! And the yellow fields of it right now are plentiful.
The Scrapbook is a good one, a bit mysterious — how it unfolds. And I enjoyed Olive, Again although some of the chapters are a bit dark of what befalls the characters. Still Olive herself is a winner. I think this novel shows a tad more that Olive has heart compared to the other books. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers.

Hi Lux, I think you already wrote that comment up above. ? Cheers.

Good to know. I didn’t realize you were once a big mystery buff. I think my favorite has always been literary fiction & contemporary fiction. But I like nonfiction & classics too. I think you might like Fifteen Wild Decembers. I had no idea about the Brontes’ circumstances. I think I will try a Cleeves book sometime this year. Balance is good!
