Trying to put together a varied list of books that had an impact on me, but now I’m wondering: is this at all interesting? Are you interested primarily (and maybe exclusively) in novels?
You've stumbled across my official website and landed on the front page of my weblog.
My name is Rosina Lippi. I'm a former academic and tenured university professor, writing full time since 2000. Under the pen name Sara Donati I am the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in upstate New York from about 1792-1825. A new series based on later generations of the same families was launched September 1, 2015 with The Gilded Hour. The next volume in the new series, Where the Light Enters, was released in 2019.
Please see the pinned post for an overview of what you'll find on this weblog, and what has been moved to the wiki (including the FAQ page).
I am very interested. I’ve added a few to my queue on the Kindle to check out over the next few months.
Oh, good. Let me know if they work for you, Meredith. Please.
I’m also interested. My problem is, I used to buy tons of books and add them to my to-be-read pile… and then never get around to it. Reading seems to come and go lately. Being pregnant I’m so tired that it’s taking me months to finish a book, when I used to devour one in 2 days. All this to say, I have Niccolo Rising (bought a few years ago after you wrote that it was one of your favourites) but I still have not read it. I also have Sophie’s Choice. Same issue. Maybe on my maternity leave? We get a year off in Canada :)
