As for Trollope, I so love the Chronicles of Barsetshire and want to reread them all soon... but then again there are SO many more I haven't read and may end up loving just as much. It's a dilemma!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-13149584055220683412020-02-10T09:48:07.669-05:002020-02-10T09:48:07.669-05:00Very cool about the bird!Very cool about the bird!Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-24801144558446060432020-02-09T13:56:59.836-05:002020-02-09T13:56:59.836-05:00Congrats on your 13th Trollope!

It had different narrators for each of the main characters and the author narrated the third person chapters - such an effective way to tell the story! In the end I liked, but didn't love the book.

Woodson narrates that one, too.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-42227052792315463732020-02-03T16:42:23.350-05:002020-02-03T16:42:23.350-05:00Katherine - I love learning more about the shorebi...Katherine - I love learning more about the shorebirds here... they're all so new and exotic to me!
