I finished this a month ago. And I put it as a blurb because I‘ve been thinking this whole time how to review it and I just can‘t figure it out! The title says it all. Strange things indeed. I feel like a lot passed over my head but I had to keep reading to figure out where the story was going to go. I can‘t say I‘m as enamored by Link as others seem to be, but I want to read more of her. #AuldLangSpine

JamieArc I really wish I had read this with others to talk about. Also, I really loved the Nancy Drew-ish cover. 2d
sarahbarnes I like her short stories better than her novel. I liked Get in Trouble a lot. I‘m going to add this one to my list. 2d
JamieArc @sarahbarnes Thanks for that rec. I will put it on my TBR. 2d
Billypar Get in Trouble is probably my favorite too of the three I've read @sarahbarnes (I haven't read her novel yet). Her style is very unique and dreamy @JamieArc - when I finish one of her stories, I immediately wish I could discuss it! Definitely not for everyone though. My fav from Stranger Things is the opening story, Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. 2d

#CoverStories

The books on my Kindle “shelves” with a #KeyHole on the cover. I‘ve only read the tagged book so far although I‘ll be reading The Briar Club next month for #AuthorAMonth & @JacqMac ‘s #AuldLangSpine list. The other 2 are in my #TBR

Eggs I enjoyed The Briar Club and Turn of the Key! 5d

#Read2025

Finished this one yesterday, it‘s the 2nd of my March #Roll100 picks (#51 Any Library Book) & the 5th book from my #AuldLangSpine list from @JacqMac & I loved it! A historical mystery centered around a real-life midwife, Martha Ballard. I found the mystery gripping in how it unfolded & the look at midwifery in 1779 in Maine was interesting. The author‘s notes in the back about the choices she made in telling Martha‘s story were also ⬇️

DebinHawaii … absorbing. I found it sadly interesting just finishing it yesterday before reading chapters 5 & 6 in this month‘s #SheSaid pick (tagged below) on the entitlement of medical care & bodily control of women, just how much hasn‘t changed.🤬 An enthusiastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ it will go on my Best of 2025 list & I‘ll look for more of the author‘s books. Thanks to @JacqMac for the nudge to read it & @monalyisha for her excellent #AuldLangSpine matching. 🤗 (edited) 7d

Loved it! Aliens, dinosaurs, 2 sexy men that you don‘t have to choose between! This was so much fun. I liked her other books too, but I didn‘t know about this one until #auldlangspine.

monalyisha I keep meaning to try one of these out! Is this the one? 1w
rachelsbrittain Yay! I'm so so glad! This one is my favorite of her books so far @monalyisha 1w

Another belated review—I read this in January for #AuldLangSpine!

This was so much fun. Set in Regency-era England, it follows “Gus” and Julia, spinster twin sisters who set out to rescue a friend‘s goddaughter and join forces with a charming rogue along the way. It‘s full of humor, adventure, and female empowerment, as well as more serious issues and higher stakes than I imagined there‘d be. I was so glad to see there‘ll be a book 2!

Librarybelle I‘m so excited for book two! 1w
quietjenn Oh, I just checked this out from the library yesterday! 1w
BarbaraJean @quietjenn Yay! Hope you enjoy! 1w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 This wasn‘t on my radar until I saw @Billypar post about it, but I really enjoyed it. I knew very little about Brandi Carlile before reading it, but enjoyed getting to know her, her family, and collaborators.

TheBookHippie He reads the best books!!! 2w
Billypar Glad you liked it! And I found out about it through @JamieArc My bookshelf would not look remotely the same without this app! 1w
JamieArc I love seeing books from #AuldLangSpine lists get passed along to others 😊 1w
