I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Right now all I want to read are stories with all the gothic tropes and I happened to unearth this from a pile from some long-ago used bookstore haul. The setting is the Hudson River, with a cloistered women's college, a mental institution, and the ruins of an abandoned estate. Involves lots of art, Greek mythology, old family secrets, a murder mystery.
It's always a wonderful time with Walt and crew in Absaroka County.
If you're curious about these-start at the beginning. This is a series that needs to be read in pub order.
Also, I have now met my goal of how many books I wanted to read in 2023!
The subject of this question is Walt Longmire and it's always a treat figuring out where Longmire has been and what's new in Absaroka County.
Wish I could just read instead of work!

Wow, the transience of family really hits hard. Your childhood family and your made nuclear family as an adult.
Such a great book & series. I delayed starting it, because this is the last book of the series.
Loving it! I love Norma, Constance, and Fleurette. 3 remarkable, very independent, and unique sisters.

Pretty good book so far. Part memoir, but mostly an essay and meditation on literature as a force for freedom and openness in the full sense of the word. Don‘t agree with all she writes but interesting all the same.
Structured as a series of letters to her father about the books that inspire & challenge Nafisi, the thought-provoking works that help her empathize, escape, see the world & its people in all of their complexity. Nafisi talks about how the act of writing, the act of reading are both subversive, how being able to imagine yourself in a different time or place, even as someone else, is an invaluable freedom & type of resistance. An interesting read.
