Wedding bells are chiming in this 10th addition to the Cupcake Bakery series, and Mel finds herself once again trying to identify the killer. The multiple murders in this one are a little gruesome (off page, but you can read between the lines). It‘s fun to see how the characters have developed over the course of the series, with several more books to go. Good listen, and a fast listen too!

The Bean Trees | Barbara Kingsolver

My son read this for his freshman English class and I‘ve been meaning to read it since. (He‘s a senior now 🤷‍♀️)

I loved it. It touches on a lot of sad topics, but with a lot of hope.

What I‘m saying is nobody feels sorry for anybody anymore, nobody even pretends they do. Not even the President. It‘s like it‘s become unpatriotic.” The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver (1988)

julesG When I was a teenager I always wanted to carry a sixpack of coke cans like they did on TV. But the can holders either never made it to Europe or where banned by the time I could have bought them. In case you're wondering, we can buy single cans or six in a cardboard sleeve. 1w

coffees It's sad to see that for all the time that's passed, many things remain the same 1w

Bookwormjillk @julesG wish we would have made that change here instead of cutting up a bunch of plastic and throwing it in the ocean anyway! 1w

julesG Yet just about an hour ago I saw 4 coca cola cans completely enveloped in plastic foil. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Maybe a bit better than the can holders but still 😐. But, we don't throw our trash into the ocean here in Germany. We don't even do a lot of landfilling anymore. Most non-recycleable trash is burnt in special facilities with lots of air filters to make sure we don't add to the environmental pollution. 1w

Three Keys: A Novel | Laura Pritchett

so-so

There were parts of this I enjoyed along with parts I really disliked. I ended up skimming the last third because I was pretty tired of Ammalie by then.
