Read Scotland 2016 discussion

Kate and I are starting a read a long with Airs above the Ground by Mary Stewart. Anyone else joining us? Jump in if you want! Post in this folder.

Ah, found it! Have read a few pages but I need to gt back to it.

It's pretty good! Especially if you like horses. There's a circus involved and Lipizzan Stallions. I'm on page 115. She's very descriptive. I like her writing.

I'm on page 78, & it feels like we're still in the warm-up phase of the story: Vanessa & Timothy are in Oberhausen and have met Annalisa but nothing yet about Vanessa's errant husband.

I'm enjoying the budding relationship between Vaness and Timothy, & am interested to see which way that develops. Given that the book was written in 1965, I doubt Vanessa will turn out to be Mrs. Robinson!

I'm having a harder time reading this than I thought I would, but I think it's mostly because my book was published in 1966. and the pages are age-tanned and the print is small. Hopefully the plot will thicken soon & overcome those difficulties!

I'm on 164. The tension ramps up a little when the husband shows up! Its slow but like you I enjoy the relationship between Vanessa and Tim. The circus is interesting and the horse old piebald. Now there in a lovely old castle type estate and gothic part is picking up. I sense danger around the corner!

Finished this morning! For starting a little slow it sure picked up pace and had a great breathtaking ending! I sort of hated for it to end, the three main characters kinda get under your skin. I could definitely see a series with these characters.

I'm lagging behind! The husband has showed up, & Vanessa & Tim are back with the circus. Hasn't really ramped up yet, but I can see it coming! Hope to get more time to read tonight, but I'm up to my elbows in a project that HAS to get done today! I can definitely see a late night reading frenzy coming on!

Don't you just hate it when life gets in the way of reading

I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to post what I've read, but just wanted to say I tried to read Never Love a Highlander and just couldn't finish it. Got about half-way through & it was so obvious how the plot was going to go I just couldn't do it.

YES! There's nothing worse -- I imagine that's what Purgatory must be like!

Finished the book -- wow! Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

And I just realized this counts as a Scotland read. Well I know, we are both in that group, but somehow I missed the implication.

LOL! Kate, I'm glad you enjoyed it! You did a nice review too. We can do the other book later if you want! I love her books.

Sure! I like read-alongs if it's a book that I'd read anyway. Just let me know when you want to start.
