Oh, Rachel, I'm a big Kate Morton fan and that lead me to your books, so I'm not at all surprised that you are inspired/like her work. Her genre is a confusing one but her books contain everything I love in a novel, the old houses, the past merging with the present, the descriptive scenery, setting and more! I never reread novels but Kate Morton is the exception and the only author that I will revisit. And often. If I need inspiration or simply to escape, I will pick up any of her novels, but I particularly love her earlier works. And I'm so proud she's Australian and I have had the chance to see her a number of times, locally.

People saying reading on Kindles and listening to audio books isn't reading... Ugh. Same with the book holding (one of the reasons I prefer hardbacks over paperbacks too). My kindle cover has an elastic hand holdy bit (the technical description) which is a great help .

Uncle Tom's Cabin. The Great Gatsby. The classics never get old. Usually. Re-reading Portrait of a Lady found me bogged down pretty fast. What did I see the first time?

A proud rereader! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I reread The Martian, The Lovely Bones and The Hunger Games almost every year. Last November (!) I read a new fantasy duology One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns by Rachael Gillig. The books were so poetic and beautiful and intense, I promptly sat down to write my own after a 3-year writing hiatus. I love books so much 🥲
