Friday Recommends #11

Friday Recommends is a weekly meme hosted by Pen to Paper. This a weekly book blog hop where we as bloggers choose a book that we have read and recommend it to our fellow bloggers. We can then visit each others blogs to see what other bloggers recommend and find new books to add to our TBR list. Hopefully we all will have new followers from visiting each blog on the linky list.

The rules for Friday Recommends are:

• Follow Pen to Paper as host of the meme.
• Please consider adding the blog hop button to your blog somewhere, so others can find it easily and join in too! Help spread the word! The code will be at the bottom of the post under the linky.
• Pick a book that you've read, and have enjoyed enough to recommend to other readers. It can be a book you've read recently, or a book you read years ago - it's up to you - but make sure you tell us why you love the book (like a mini review). You make the post as long or as short as you like.
• Add your blog to the linky at the bottom of post on host site Pen to Paper after posting your blog post.
• Put a link back to pen to paper (http://vogue-pentopaper.blogspot.com) somewhere in your post.
• Visit the other blogs and enjoy!

My Recommend for this week:

The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough

Mass Market Paperback, 692 pages

Published May 1st 1978 by Avon Books (first published 1977)

Goodreads synopsis:

Powered by the dreams and struggles of three generations, THE THORN BIRDS is the epic saga of a family rooted in the Australian sheep country. At the story's heart is the love of Meggie Cleary, who can never possess the man she desperately adores, and Ralph de Bricassart, who rises from parish priest to the inner circles of the Vatican...but whose passion for Meggie will follow him all the days of his life.

My Thoughts

The Thorn Birds has been one of my favorite books for a long time. I don't even remember any more how many times I have read it. I love Colleen McCullough's writting style how she decribes the Australian Outback. The long road that took you to get to the ranch. All the gates that they had to go through to get there. I have always wanted to visit Australia and I think The Thron Birds is the reason for me wanting to visit so bad.
