Apart from that guy who’s from Ukraine (and how dreadful that place is now), I feel I really know everyone properly in WP and/or Facebook, and those people have written these wonderful books. I have enjoyed all of those!

Both of those were lovely. It was nice for me to be on last year’s Sunflower Tanka, and of course I’m in this years as well. It’s here on my desk. Also I have your ‘Burning Butterflies’ – I was reading half of it while getting my hair done. I shall read the rest when I get my hair done again, a couple of weeks later. Red, and redder, and shorter!

Aha, so that’s how I saw your post, Liz. And that’s how I bought the book about Oleg. I could only get it on Kindle, but the illustrations were still very beautiful. I was very happy!

Do have a little look and see if you like some of those, and if you use the Kindle they are not too expensive.

Love this! My year of reading was pretty much confined to the “vintage hardcover” books in our school library. But hey, it’s more than I did before becoming a librarian!😂
