A cozy mystery set in the 1930‘s where Clara inherited her uncle detective agency. I like Clara Vale character, well educated woman, likes fashion but down to earth. She has a dramatic mother who she ignores sometimes. The novel presents some issues women faced during that time which can be annoying today but we are still working in that equity. The story is funny, fast paced and the mystery is interesting. ⬇️
pickWhat a delightful little book about dragons!
This book gives a short overview of dragons from around the world. It primarily focuses on dragon lore from ancient Mesopotamia, the Mediterranean, Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. It also briefly addresses dragons from other regions like Africa and the Americas.

I hope everyone has a Happy New Year, and a badass 2026. 😈
pickI didn‘t realize how appropriate this would be to read during December. It may partly be reading it during this season, but Buechner‘s reflections here all seem to center on and circle around the Christmas story—and on Christ—moving through themes of darkness and light, doubt and faith. Buechner‘s writing is gorgeous as always, and the prayers that conclude each chapter are especially rich & meaningful. This was my November #DoubleSpin. ⤵️
pickIt feels like cheating that this was my December #DoubleSpin, but I can‘t argue with the #BookSpin fates! I loved reading these cozy stories for #KindredSpiritsChristmas—a delightful respite from the busy-ness of the season.
