If you want to know what older Gen X children or even younger Baby Boomers were reading in the early 80’s before YA this was it.

Thinking Thursday:
A book that made you really think/revaluate the world/your life
I do not know if this is the case for most history lessons about the Tudors in the UK and media Catherine of Aragon is always portrayed as a grumpy middle aged woman, in this novel we see her as a young teenager with hopes, a totally different perspective.

Despite opposition from both families, Katherine’s indomitable spirit drives her to pursue the crown, even if it means telling a life-altering lie to secure her place as queen.
Fantasy Friday:
Favourite fantasy book/series
I was going to go for the whole series of The Wheel of time but I thought I would be a bit controversial, and put the prequal, which I think should be read about book 8 because of minor spoilers.
However I do not think I would have read this epic series with out reading this first

Sigh Saturday:
A book you just could not get into or finish
I very rarely DNF written books now although it can not be said the same for audio books but this is one book I have never got to the end of:
Anna Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy
Synopsis
In Anna Karenina, Anna, married to a prominent government official, falls passionately in love with Count Vronsky, an elegant army officer.
Defying societal norms, she leaves her husband and son to live with Vronsky, but her actions lead to condemnation, isolation, and jealousy, which strains their relationship and traps her in a desperate situation.
Parallel to Anna’s tragic love affair is the story of Konstantin Levin, a landowner who seeks meaning in life through marriage, family, and labor.
Tolstoy intertwines these stories with a rich cast of characters, depicting 19th-century Russian society in vivid detail.
