pickA fictional account of what might have happened to a NY Supreme Court Justice in 1930. It was a real life case that was never solved. Interesting portrayal of life during that time, where if you weren't willing to use crooked means to get ahead, you would never get anywhere.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this baby!! Lehane does an amazing job creating believable characters. His descriptions evoke the images, but he doesn‘t ramble. I‘m on to the sequel, The Given Day, so I can stay in 1930s Florida and Cuba.
My photo skills leave a lot to be desired. Yeah, maybe don‘t cut off the title! 🤪
I‘d retake it but I already returned it to the library.
Thought to be derived from battlefield surgeries, when amputations and medieval medical procedures were done without anaesthetic. To distract the ‘patient‘ from the pain, a bullet was placed in their mouth for them to bite down on.

So...its happening.
My family trip to Disneyland Paris has been cancelled because of personal family reason so I'm going to Birmingham for a couple of days to visit a friend and fangirl over Peaky Blinders.
The big thing for me is that I'm doing this trip SOLO!
At the moment I'm excited and looking forward to exploring the city and seeing my friend.
Of course I'm going on a Peaky Blinders walking tour.

pickFor many in Manhattan Beach, there‘s a comfort in fog—a kind of peace that takes Anna and her father away from a heavy life. Both characters equally have a gift of diving into a murky cloud and finding what‘s lost. The best characters find treasures by dropping into the unknown and having faith that they have the capacity to endure.
pickThis book suprised me! I was a bit scared to pick it up because I was afraid that it would be difficult and slow read but it totally wasn't! This story is located in a place and time that just makes you want to know more. This story has everything: mafia, coming of age, disability, family dynamics, world war, party scene, well written characters, mechanics and crime. I'm going to find out what else has she written. 😍
Some train reading. I'm really surprised how much I love this book! 🤓📚 🚂🚃🚃🚃
