#ThrowbackThursday
Revisiting what I posted 10 years ago
(my blog was born on September 29, 2010)
following the idea I found at The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog
(click on this link or the logo to see where the idea started from,

Today, I’m revisiting October 2012.
I published 20 posts, 9 of which being book reviews.
Of these books, here is the one that received most views then:

I liked it a lot, as I have liked most of Morton’s books (by the way, she has another one, Homecoming, coming out on April 4, 2022).
I’m actually rather proud of my review of this one, so please have a look ;-).
Two other books read that month stayed with me:
Little Princes: One Man’s Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal
is a very inspiring book. If I had been younger when I read it, and with no obligation, I may just have left for Nepal right away!
The Housekeeper and the Professor
is a very gentle quiet literary novel.
The author has many genres upher sleeve. The Memory Police is excellent as well, but in a very different genre.

I have not read the Secret Keeper, and I’m surprised I don’t even have a copy! I usually buy all her books.

I’ve seen a lot of recommendations for Morton books but have yet to try her. This certainly looks interesting, but the Ogawa is one I’d definitely go for if faced with a choice.

The Forgotten Garden by Morton is really so so good – a spin on the classic The Secret Garden

I like the idea of revisiting old posts. Have heard a lot about Morton, never read her though.

Emma, I have been leaving comments on your posts but though they get published, they disappear after some time. Don’t know what is wrong. And I wonder if you’d be able to see this comment too.🤔

Yes, no problem, they are here. It’s just that I have all my comments moderated, and these past weeks, I have been very bad at moderating!

I have read both Morton and Ogawa. Liked them both.

I have only read one book by Kate Morton, The Clockmaker’s Daughter. I’ve been told this is not one of her best but I really liked it, so I will have to try some more.
I don’t know the other ones but they seem very worth reading.
