The 17th book in the Armand Gamache series❣️ the library hold is 16 weeks—can I wait that long....

I have a #MemoirHangover from this beautiful #audiobook. 5⭐️ and one of the best during this #YearOfMemoirs!

Tarana shares her journey from victim to advocate and why she started #MeToo. She has amazing courage. She gave Black girls a way to share their pain long before Alyssa Milano posted to Twitter. I‘m glad so many people have benefited from her work, and I feel privileged to be able to read her story. Thank you, Tarana!

This is where I‘d like to #Picnic. #JulyJourneys #TBR

Precisely what my heart and soul needed. A long, slow meditation on life, love, art, food, and music. There is humor and profound sadness but more than anything, there is humanity. What a gift. ❤️

I read this years ago when first published (translation: I‘ve forgotten all of it!) and am listening to the audio for a reread. I‘m a big SK fan, but I‘m only 20% in and already so over the “Scott talk!” The whole “smucking” thing might have been cute if mentioned a couple of times, but on its 47th usage—not so much!! Enough already! 🤦‍♀️ The cover is cool, though. I do have this edition.

I've only read the first book in this series, back when it first came out, and l remember really enjoying it. Then l bought the entire series, but the last book, which l never found.
I suppose I'll have to hunt for it online. I love these editions 😍

I really enjoyed this #LMPBC pick. It‘s my favorite this round. Not perfect, but a fun thriller that had me guessing , with a great location.
I put in a printout of what I think the mask looked like. It‘s what I kept picturing in my head anyway.

Starting Emma for #pemberlittens chapter a day. I haven‘t read this one yet either. Clueless is one of my favorite movies so I‘m excited to finally read this and compare! 🤓

Out of all the Chiltern editions of Austen‘s novels, this one is definitely my favorite. 😍💐

I do love historical fiction with dual timelines, and I had very high hopes for this one, but it fell a little flat in places for me. The historical storyline was cool, and I loved the mystery and secrecy of the apothecary shop. The modern-day storyline was a bit out there and eyeroll-inducing. Still, I couldn‘t stop reading and loved the little mini-tour I took of London.
