Dr Kate Forsyth Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Dr Kate Forsyth

Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, was born #onthisday, March 2, 1904.  A number of his books have been banned in recent years because of their hurtful racism. I do love this poem of his, however! It's called 'happy birthday to you!" https://t.co/yeStNc6JFj

I've had a lovely few weeks of reading!  My favourite book of the month was Thin Places by Kerri ni Dochartaigh, which weaves together a memoir of growing up in Ireland during the Troubles with poetic meditations on the healing power of nature. What was yours?  #booktwt https://t.co/333J94xh7z

#BOOKREVIEW: #Thelockedroom by @ellygriffiths is Number 14 in the fabulous Dr Ruth Galloway crime series and centres on the investigation into a series of troubling suicides that just might be murders.   https://t.co/REVUYHmeXt https://t.co/sSyQIFaCsA

Anna Sewell was born #onthisday 30 March 1820. Her novel 'Black Beauty' changed the world, making people acutely aware of the wrongness of cruelty to animals. She died only 5 months after Black Beauty's publication, so does not know the good she did.  #bekind https://t.co/KhHFk4f6EH

Anne Bronte was born #onthisday - 17 January 1820.  To celebrate, read my review: 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was an astonishingly brave novel ... It is clear-eyed and unflinching in its depiction of the realities of 19th century English life.' https://t.co/UuNO6ZWvdB #bronte https://t.co/BKq4GwH6vo

My reading companion! She very much likes me not spending 15 hours a day at my computer ☺️ The book is Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes, which imagines Medusa’s life. Loving it so far! https://t.co/EqNHScOc7j

I first encountered Rainer Maria Rilke when a friend gave me a copy of LETTERS TO A YOUNG POET when I was in my early twenties. It spoke to me very powerfully. He has many poems that feature roses - in this blog, I examine why I love them so much: https://t.co/9LDr0XQerq https://t.co/Vnq8mlB6Oc

I’n working on another square in my #storyquilt. This one is inspired by one of my favourite books - Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - which I first read in my final year of school. I think it’s going to be pretty! #quilting #quiltlove #embroidery #slowstitchingmovement https://t.co/N3auWYde44

My novel, THE CRIMSON THREAD, is set in Crete during World War II.  Here are the 7 most fascinating facts about the Battle of Crete that sadly ended up on the cutting room floor… https://t.co/BPIYF3ANEa https://t.co/CZjbHoCdx4

Our bookclub read this month was Room by Emma Donoghue - my pick as I’d never read it before & I’ve loved her last few books. I’m conflicted about it. On the one hand, a bravura ventriloquist act. On the other hand, I’m not sure the little boy’s voice always rang true. Thoughts? https://t.co/B1b29H7YBg
