Heartstone: A Matthew Shardlake Tudor Mystery | C. J. Sansom

Saturday night #BooksAndBooze

I‘ve reached the part of this book where I just don‘t want to stop, but I also don‘t want to get too far ahead of the chapters on the schedule for March.

The Serpent & the Wings of Night | Carissa Broadbent

pick

My first foray into the genre and loved it. Maybe it‘s a ‘right time, right place‘ situation but given that it‘s January, it‘s dark, it‘s snowy, it‘s cold, what more could you want than to crawl into a great little fantasy novel. I‘m looking forward to getting lost in the next in the series soon.

My Shakespearean insults mug also helps to keep my spirits up time of year 😍

The Story of the Lost Child: Neapolitan Novels, Book Four | Elena Ferrante

Christmas shopping done. Time for #BooksAndBooze. Earned it.

Bookwomble Do you mean you're done with SOME Christmas shopping, or that you've done ALL your Christmas shopping? If the latter, then 😱🤯 I'm one of those people rattling shop doors on Christmas Eve! 😄 4mo

arlenefinnigan @Bookwomble I'm one of those people who puts their tree up early November and has panic attacks if they haven't bought all the presents by the end of the first week of December! 3mo

Art in Nature | Tove Jansson

I'm so sorry to clutter your feed with a picture of a lemon ?, but I couldn't resist buying this amazing fruit, it looked so tempting! Now, to justify buying it, I'm making a White Lady cocktail ?, and to justify posting about it, I'm going to read the story in which I first came across the drink, Tove Jansson's eponymous "White Lady" from the tagged story collection ???

TieDyeDude I'm glad you got that all sorted BEFORE you started drinking 😅 11mo

Bookwomble @Deblovestoread @UwannaPublishme @dabbe Cheers 🥂😊 11mo

Bookwomble @TieDyeDude I genuinely fell in love with that lemon first then had to think of something to do with it 😄 It's an Italian Amalfi lemon, and a tad more expensive than your common lemon, so a bit of a treat, but it sure did taste good, even before I added it to gin! 11mo

batsy Never apologise for lovely photos! It's like a still life painting featuring lemon 😁🍋 11mo

Anna40 😆 I like the lemon too. It‘s gray here in the north of Michigan so sunny yellow is nice 😉 11mo

marleed Lovely pic! 11mo

Cathythoughts That‘s a great photo 💛 11mo

Bookwomble @batsy @Anna40 @marleed @Cathythoughts Thank you all for the Lemon Love 🍋💛🍋 I feel validated 😄 11mo

The Man Who Fell to Earth | Walter Tevis

This is the MC's drink of choice: straight gin with *loads* of angostura bitters! 🍸
What to call it? The Thomas Jerome Newton? An Anthean Martini?
I cannot drink it in the volumes that Newton does, and it won't be a regular feature on the drinks trolley, but it does taste medicinal, so perhaps if I need a bracing pick-me-up?

Ruthiella Cheers! 🥂 But I‘m with Dr. Bryce. I don‘t like the taste of gin. 12mo

Bookwomble @Ruthiella Cheers! 🥂😊 Despite being a whisky and soda man, he still managed to put quite a lot of gin away when he had to! 😄 12mo

batsy Am quite partial to gin, I must admit. Especially if it's the Botanist 😆🥂 12mo

Bookwomble @batsy 🥂 Tommy would drink to that! 12mo

kwmg40 I'll have to try an “Anthean Martini“ sometime! 😄 12mo

Bookwomble @kwmg40 I managed to get it down, but it definitely tasted like a drink the bartender didn't finish making! 12mo

The Silmarillion | J.R.R. Tolkien

There are so many parts of The Silmarillion that I truly enjoy when rereading, but this has got to by my favorite story. I love Luthien‘s strength and dedication, and Huan is another amazing character. I read a few pages last night and then listened to all of it today.

Ruthiella I was wondering where you got your dog‘s name! 12mo

Daisey @Ruthiella Glad you saw this one to figure it out! My vet has given up on knowing where my pet names come from but has learned it usually is book related. 12mo
