Gorgeous post! I love O, Caledonia. I think I wrote about it in one of my first Substack Love Lists- that tiny sub-genre of coming of age novels set in castles (I Capture the Castle, We Have Always Lived in the Castle...) is my favourite! 🖤 Thank you for the mention, too.

Another great post. You mentioned O, Caledonia which I wasn't familiar with and writing notes in the margins along with underlined passages. Funny because as I read your post, I want to underline passages or highlight sentences and add notes in the margins too. After reading, I had to look up O, Caledonia and read some reviews and a synopsis. Just ordered a copy and it will jump to the top of the pile in my "To Read" stack. Your suggestion of Nan Shepherd turned out just wonderful so I'm sure this will be a fun book too. Pretty soon, Amazon will need to send you royalties for book suggestion sales! 🙂 Thank you Kate for the amazing writing as always.
