As we get ready to move into this last week of 2024/beginning of 2025, remember to take time for self-care, everyone!
This was hands down my favorite from May! I just loved the way the story was told and I‘ll definitely read more by this author.

On my second book of the day (the first was a re-read of Christmas Cupcake Murder) while the hubs plays Witcher and we wait for the Independence Bowl to start. Have to get in all the fun reading I can while winter break is still on! Hope you‘re all having a good weekend!
pickBook 9 for my #TenBeforeTheEnd and one I‘ve had on my shelf since it was long listed for the Women‘s Prize years ago. An entertaining tale based on true events in a whaling community in 1908. The main character Mary is funny and the writing had me laughing out loud a few times. Glad I finally read it!
Just finished s1 of Troppo (based on this book) I never would have picked it up to read yet the show hooked me, kept me up late on a hot summer night (not like I was going to be able to sleep anyway) & had me whispering, “just 1 more episode” entirely too many times for someone who had work in the morning. It was a slow burn solving of the deaths of two local men - with fascinating character studies of the two damaged individuals looking into it.
pickYeah, I don‘t. Not anymore!
Clem is a brilliant Australian journalist, feminist and activist. I learn so much from her books and they are very amusing as well.
But the sad reality is that the people who should read these books and gain a new perspective of things never are the ones who do.

pickNot my fave, but also not my least fave of Moriarty‘s. Lots of dysfunction and I truly didn‘t care for many (any?) of the characters, but I did like the multiple layers of complicated yet realistic relationships. And Caroline Lee always does an excellent job with narration.

pickThis is a short little book with pictures, a name and where to find said fungi. It‘s made me want to go and try my hand at finding some of these…only for photos though.
