I'm going through the prompts and posting what I read, vs what I planned to read. For this one, I did read The Beach Club, which I enjoyed. I love the setting of Nantucket for Hilderbrand's books, and I liked how each guest has their own story, which ties into the overall story of the owners and employees of The Beach Club.

I will be reading 'My Roots - A decade in the garden' by Monty Don.
It fits the category by it's title, I was thinking 'my roots' referred to the beginning of Monty's life, his family. Also having read the above ideas the book fits in with tthe beginning of a decade of life in a garden.
I don't have any particular goals for 2021 with the pandemic going on still. other than to try and organise my clutter abit better!
I can recommend Anne of Green Gables by L M Montgomery as the beginning of a series of excellent books.
