Review: Wintering by Katherine May - Travelling Book Junkie Wintering isn't just something that happens to nature, it is also a state of mind that we all go through at some point in our life.

Happy Winter Solstice โ„๏ธ

Today marks the shortest day of the year but for some winter is always a struggle.

Wintering by #KatherineMay however, walks you through, why we should look at this time of year differently.

A powerful winter read!

The Girl is Seat 2A by Diana Wilkinson published by Boldwood Books. The writing is in yellow and pink and there is a woman in sunglasses. You only see her head and her bright pink lipstick with an airplane window and clouds in the background.

Have just started this one: a birthday present from my sister which has been sat on the TBR pile since Aug.

Anyone read it? Thoughts? I have to say the opening page reads like a flight I was once on so I am already hooked.

While true, it's possibly one of the most iconic Xmas tunes of the last 30 or so years.

There are definitely some challenges with this way of life. Currently in a rather cold Germany working our way north for Xmas. Hope you got the leak sorted.

When I look at the list of banned books, even in the UK, I am always shocked at some of the titles on there. I mean, how does James and the Giant Peach and Black Beauty compare to A Clockwork Orange and The Satanic Verses? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ #Booksky #Bannedbooks
