Another fabulous read that I wouldn’t have picked up if it hadn’t have been for the Women’s Prize.

Dolly Maunder is most definitely restless. She wants more than the hand that life has dealt her - and as a female whose parents work on a farm, she is expected to get married and have children who will work on a farm.

Dolly is determined, and that’s what shows throughout this book. When her parents take away the chance for her to become a teacher, she finds other ways to change her life. She’s a force of nature! I loved Dolly’s spirit. She did come across as obstinate and single minded, neither of which is a terrible thing for someone with ambition. But it’s not easy for those who have to live with her!

This is a pretty wide-sweeping novel, from Dolly’s childhood until her old age, and it still seemed to be over too soon. It was so interesting to learn about the Australian way of life from just before WWI to after WWII, and Dolly moves around enough for the reader to see different areas of Australia.

There’s a lot of emotion in this book, and when you read the authors note at the end, you’ll see why. Recommended.

I liked this one.. a little less then mcfarlands farm but it was still sweet and cute.. the only issue i did have was that i feel like we missed some back story... like.. ok.. since he was 16 hes loved his best friends dad.. thats not unusual.. but when did things change for the dad.. how did this happen.. it wasnt "instalove" but seemed close to it because we didnt have the extra info.. overall though for a short read this was sweet.. adorable.. and i enjoyed it a lot. i cannot wait for the next one

Fun battle app with Disney characters
This is practically the same game as Star Wars Heroes and Marvel Strike Force (both also owned by Disney). You build a team of characters and fight five on five to level up and collect more characters. As compared to the other games, this one awards fewer raid passes, so you have to play levels you’ve already played repeatedly to farm materials you need to level up your characters. There are more opurtunities to pit your team of characters against other players teams instead of just battling the computer.
