I‘m on a day reading retreat in a hotel in Liverpool 😁
Random book from our home library:
📖 Collected Poems of Edward Thomas
My April #bookspin. Every month I look forward to the numbers and every month I make a fun list, but I haven‘t been posting them. Litsy is a wonderful refuge in these turbulent times; it‘s always good to check in. Getting ready to start the tagged book!
pickI love reading these classic crime stories and this was a solid one. I listed to the audiobook and it was a well do “who done it“
so-soHarry Devlin's promiscuous ex-wife, Liz, is murdered in an alley. It seems every secondary character in the book has a reason to want Liz dead. Since Harry is still in love with Liz, he sets out to find the murderer. The plot plods along as Harry slowly eliminates suspects. There's a bit of romance between Harry and his neighbor, Brenda Rixton.
This is the first book in a series about Harry Devlin. I'll try the next book and see.

Your mind's playing tricks, Harry Devlin said to himself.

pickReally enjoyed this memoir of a couple who lose everything that matters (their house, his health) except each other. They walk the southwest coast of England when they nowhere else to go or nothing to do. I am going to read the sequel immediately and look forward to the movie coming out based on the book.
so-soI was looking forward to this one and am a little disappointed by it. It tells the story of a series of murders but the organization isn‘t great, making it disjointed. It also tells it to some degree from a social justice lens, which I loved, but I think it would have been better if that was the focus and the murders and attitudes around them were illustrative. #WPNF25
