pickGreat look at how we and our culture deal with food. Waters holds out for real, fresh, home-cooked food that's more delicious than our culture allows us to see. Speed, convenience, and cheapness are the hallmarks of our fast-food culture.

pickA soft pick - good plot; enjoyable, realistic characters.
I didn't realize until I started this cozy mystery that it's the fifth book in the Lily Adler series. I haven't read the previous books, but I was able to follow the plot line and references to events probably covered previously in the series.
For me, it dragged a bit in the middle; but overall, the plot moved steadily forward. I may go back to the previous books.

The letter looked innocent enough when it arrived, nestled in the stack of the day's correspondence.

1. Took my car in for service because the check engine light was on. I only owed $50 because the car's still under warranty for another few weeks
2. The weather is cooler and windier this week, but at least it was sunny 🌞 ☀️
3. Put my bird feeder out with black oil sunflower seeds. Tufted titmice and black capped chickadees visited
4. Reading a great cozy mystery. Post about it soon
5. Thanksgiving coming

I'm not much into horror movies or stories, but I'll read a few a of these short stories written by female authors. Included here are some by authors not usually associated with the horror genre, such as Louisa May Alcott and Edith Wharton.

I've started this book, which I bought at the same time as Inferno. I hope I like it better (see my post of a few days ago).

so-soBoring. 😴 I almost DNF several times. This is a stroll through Renaissance art in Florence, Venice and the mixture of art and culture in Istanbul. All disguised as a rather slow chase of Robert Langdon by unknown pursuers. Brown even takes time to mention two ugly sculptures in the Boboli Gardens through which a lengthy portion of the chase ran. I love art and art history but yeah...Plus, a great deal about Dante and his Divine Comedy.

so-soThis mystery plot dragged a bit and was rather convoluted. I much prefer the previous Holmes and Watson novel I read by this author. (See my previous post.) I do like her portrayal of Holmes and Watson, though.

pickmy book of the year wow &adebut too this lady‘s really got it she‘ll be an auto buy for me now. If someone would have told me a book of letters would be my favourite book of the year I‘d never have believed them but this is so so clever. I also think anyone who has dealt with grief should read this & perhaps even though it is a book for anyage send it to anyone depressed about aging because you really can lead a full life no matter what age youare
pickJust finished this. Loved it. I'll read her other Sherlock Holmes novels, of which there are at least two more.
