so-soI enjoyed getting a glimpse into Tibble‘s world and being exposed to indigenous life in New Zealand through her poetry.

so-soI'm really not doing it on purpose this time, but I remain bingoless... #BookSpinBingo
This one was OK, a light read. I'm not sure I'd continue with the series, and if I hadn't read a review I'd have been surprised by the light fantasy element (the main character experiences other people's memories). It didn't stick out to me a whole lot. Sort of “OK, and I finished it, but... 🤷“
My “currently reading” stack.
I was initially a bit underwhelmed by Birnam Wood (for my IRL book club) but then the plot kicked in and I‘m hooked!
pickI‘m not sure exactly what I was expecting, I think probably one of those “see the world through the eyes of a neurodivergent protagonist, and realize that ‘strange‘ is in the eye of the beholder” type books. This was not that - it was a crime thriller, and a lot darker and more graphic than I expected.

51!!! I surprised myself. I‘m not usually a rewatcher of movies but these I‘ve seen multiple times as they‘re so good. I recently rewatched Casablanca, just for the “La Marseillaise” scene 🎬
pickIt was good to have a book that I was sucked into, making time, avoiding most of life distractions to read - because I missed that need, that drive. But overall, this book was just depressing about how hard it is to trust and react with love in a way that is not messed up by being human/messy. #ReadICT category multiple pts of view. #bookclub #LitPie #ApplePie

Next up: for bookclub. Copper would NOT look at me.
Hoping that this will qualify for a reading challenge category “features a neurodivergent character”

pickAudio books that aren‘t too heavy with characters that I love and root for seem to be what my brain and heart want. That and any excuse to organize something. I bought new hangers after a friend told me about the slimmer velvet cover ones. Spent some time today switching them in with the old plastic ones out.
Loved this one. When Greta tells about Val listening to I‘m Not in Love after getting his heart broken I‘m thinking been there, done that.
