Katrina's Reads: January 2014
http://katrinasreads.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 3 January 2014. North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell. This novel is set in the 19th century but unlike the novels of Jane Austen the novel lies outside of the Regency ballrooms and large estates and in largely set in the Industrial North. The main character is a fiesty young women, raised among the rich, with a middle class family and an urging to befriend the poor and scare off any wealthy, hardworking men who show any interest in her. I'm looking forward to picking up Cranford in the near future.

Tuesday, 3 December 2013. The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry - Rachel Joyce. I read this book a few weeks ago but wanted to wait until after I had been to my book group meeting before I posted about it. Harold writes her a letter and pops out to post it, but when he gets to the post box he finds he wants to go a bit further,and at the next one he goes a bit further and there starts his pilgrimage from the south of England up to Scotland.

Katrina's Reads: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
http://katrinasreads.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-wonderful-wizard-of-oz-by-l-frank.html
Monday, 9 December 2013. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Despite being nearly 33 I had never read or seen The Wizard of Oz -my Mum protests that this is a lie, but as my brother and sister haven't seen it either I think I'm the one who is right. Of course I know parts of the story - the Yellow Brick Road, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the red shoes (which weren't red in the book! So much of the story was familiar but undiscovered. Century of Books: Published in 1900. TBR Triple Dog Dare.
