Book Friday – Tidings of Great Boys by Shelley Adina
18 December 2009
I have to say, this is one of my favorite titles for Shelley’s All About Us series. It’s also my favorite book of the series so far, which is interesting because I’ve never been particularly attached to Mac, the main character. (Carly’s my favorite, although hers is the only book in the series I’ve yet to read.)
Tidings of Great Boys is primarily set in Scotland, which might be one of the reasons I’m enjoying it so much. I love European settings, and because Shelley is such a globe trotter (I’m serious—she is) the location really comes to life. Another fun thing about reading this book right now is that it’s set during Christmas. I’ve never read a Christmas book at Christmas time. After this, I might make it a yearly tradition.
One of the things I love most about this series is the relationship between the girls. They’re all very different, and while their differences sometimes grate on each other, their friendships are still solid. It speaks to me as much at age 26 as it would have when I was 16.
A jolly good read.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! And congratulations to my parents who have been married 27 years today. Love you guys!
Makes me want to pick up a good Christmas book too!
And happy anniversary to your parents!!
