I don't normally share personal photos on here, but at our recent library fundraiser, I got to meet author Amanda Churchill. She was so friendly and gave a great talk about her debut novel, The Turtle House. This isn't normally the type of book I read, but I really enjoyed it, and after listening to her talk about it, I like it even more now. 💚🐢
pickIn a small town near Belfast, during the Troubles, Cushla juggles her teaching job, bar keeping at the family bar at night, a perpetually drunk mother, the man she‘s having an affair with, and giving her heart to a young student whose poor Protestant family is barely making ends meet when the father is beaten so badly he can no longer function. There‘s a lot going on yet this short book moves at a snail‘s pace. We are given intimate details ⬇️

I realized I never posted the #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead title for May! This is the first in a trilogy that features Morgan Le Fay from the Arthurian legend.
Read at your own pace throughout May. I‘ll post periodic check ins during the month, and discussion will take place on May 31st.

pickAnother excellent installment in the outstanding Shardlake historical mystery series set in Tudor England!
I was so happy to be vacationing in London and visiting my daughter while reading this book, so that I could see the real-life places that the fictional Shardlake visiting. I'd love to visit Portsmouth one day, where much of this particular story takes place.
