A little refresh to your usual reading spot will make it feel like new. You may have enough in the holiday fund for a rental somewhere you can escape to – a shepherd's hut in the middle of nowhere would certainly do the trick – but if home is the only option, don't despair. Here are our handy tips to get you started. Once you've decided on your DIY retreat timeframe, preparing everything you will need before hand is key to maximising your reading time and feeling refreshed enough to embrace the real world again. But if money is tight then you can recreate the experience at home on a snip of the budget. It sounds, admittedly, like a perfect bookwormy getaway. Reading retreats typically offer a distraction-free space with bibliotherapists on hand to provide you with personalised recommendations and chefs to whip up delicious meals while you discuss what you've been reading with fellow guests. No wonder that reading retreats – a holiday dedicated to reading, usually in an idyllic setting – has become an appealing option to so many. The time, inevitable chaos, and expense of traveling to somewhere far-reaching when really all your heart desires is a comfy chair and a good book. Holidays can be a frustrating experience for bookworms.

It was during this time, and through her visits to several other Iron Curtain countries, that the Republic of Gilead began to take shape. “I was living in West Berlin, which was still encircled by the Berlin Wall,” Atwood wrote in The New York Times. The book’s oppressive themes were partly inspired by the fact that Atwood began writing it while she was living in Germany in 1984, at the height of the Cold War. Officially, The Handmaid’s Tale is set at some point in the not-too-distant future (from whenever you’re reading it). The Handmaid’s Tale was partially inspired by Cold War Germany. Even if you’ve binge-watched the Emmy Award-winning TV adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, there’s still much to be learned from, and about, the book. The novel follows one such handmaid, Offred, as she struggles to acclimate to (and, perhaps, to resist) her new reality. Because so few women in the Republic of Gilead are fertile, “handmaids” are enlisted to bear the children of the ruling class. Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel The Handmaid’s Tale is set in a discomfortingly familiar future, where a newly installed theocracy has instituted a sweeping series of misogynistic laws and practices. – thoughtful reflection questions designed to inspire you to a deeper experience of God Perfect for both individual reflection and group discussion, this study will draw you deeper into the life-transforming love celebrated in Redeeming Love. – Bible study lessons that creatively blend story and Scripture to glean fresh insights – key scenes from Redeeming Love, selected to illustrate God’s loving pursuit of you – a personal reflection by Francine Rivers about the writing of Redeeming Love and the power of God’s Word Venture deeper into the heart of the classic bestselling.

Alfred is a sickly scholar, while Uhtred is an arrogant warrior. The king is a pious Christian, while Uhtred is a pagan. It tells the astonishing and true story of how Alfred, forced to become a fugitive in a few square miles of swampland, fights his enemies against overwhelming odds. Bernard Cornwell's The Pale Horseman, like The Last Kingdom, is rooted in the real history of Anglo-Saxon England. Yet fate, as Uhtred learns, has its own imperatives, and when the Vikings attack out of a wintry darkness to shatter the last English kingdom, Uhtred finds himself at Alfred's side. A dispossessed young nobleman, married to a woman who hails from Wessex, Uhtred has little love for either, though for King Alfred he has none at all. They assemble the Great Army, whose one ambition is to conquer Wessex. The rest have fallen to the Danish Vikings, a story told in The Last Kingdom, the New York Times bestselling novel in which Uhtred's tale began. In the late ninth century, Wessex is the last English kingdom. He has to make a choice: whether to fight for the Vikings, who raised him, or for King Alfred the Great of Wessex, who dislikes him. Uhtred is a Saxon, cheated of his inheritance and adrift in a world of fire, sword, and treachery. |
