Tonight‘s book, paired with a lovely raspberry ginger wheat ale that has neither a name nor a head.

I plucked MRS POLLIFAX ON THE CHINA STATION from a Little Free Library because every year I try to read a book from each year I‘ve been alive and I‘m still missing 1983. It seems like it‘s a cozy spy thriller. I‘m also braced for lots of racism, since it‘s from 1983, but I hope it‘ll surprise me.

TieDyeDude 😃 We used to have that glass! The beer sounds tasty. Hope the book is palatable. 2mo
xicanti @TieDyeDude it‘s a pretty fun read so far. Not perfect, but much more balanced than I feared it‘d be! 2mo

I liked this and found Mrs. P not unlike my energetic grandmother. It also reminded me to get some documentaries on China's terra cotta soldiers which are magnificent.
