I wasn’t sure if I read widely enough across the timeline, but today my results surprised me. The complete challenge was to include at least 12 books, one from each of the following eras: Way back in January I decided to try this challenge run by Sam Ann Elizabeth This is my Review of the Month for the review collection on If you would like to take part, April’s challenge begins with How To Be Both by Ali Smith. They tamed the land, withstood the seasons and the hardships that Mother Nature threw at them and many thrived. This story tells of harsh pioneering times, when people spread across America in search of a better future. Classic American historical fiction set in Nebraska in the 1880s. The link to my last book is early settlers. The author’s story of Glenn and Carley highlighted the effect the land can have on people. Parts of Arizona, particularly around Sedona, are said to be filled with strong cosmic forces conducive to healing and spiritual experiences.

It is the story of two women: Lynnda Pollio who reached a point in her life when she was ready for a spiritual journey, and Addie Mae, a Southern African-American woman who chose to speak about her own teenage life through Lynnda. Told through a form of conscious storytelling. This is a #YA series, set in Montana around a group of teenagers and their connections to animal spirits revered by the Native Americans. The Burning (Spirit Warriors #3) by D.E.L. I chose burning as my link to my third book. Hildegard is regarded as Germany’s first physician this book takes place in the twelfth century. Book two of the Hildegard of Bingen series.

My next link goes from Goblet of Fire, to The Column Of Burning Spices by P.K. I’m sure I don’t need to tell readers about Harry Potter! I chose fire as my link to my first book. (I have not read this, but I have read my six books). The starting point this month is The Arsonist by Chloe Hooper, a true crime novel. Hosted by Kate from Books Are My Favourite And Best The idea is to start at the same book as other readers, then find themes that link six books, and see where you end up!
