The Secret, Book & Scone Society | Ellery Adams

pick

The #cozymystery genre is not my usual cup of tea, so I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this book. It would be a great palate cleanser in between heavier literary reads.

Set in WNC, near Asheville, I could relate to the atmospheric setting (my guess is it is inspired by Hot Springs, NC), and loved the MC‘s talent of bibliotherapy, a modality I didn‘t even know existed, and now want to incorporate into my coaching practice!

Fierce Fairytales: And Other Stories to Stir Your Soul | Nikita Gill

Surprise! I went Kindle shopping last night and this morning. Just when I‘m trying to focus on holiday presents! So, from left to right. We just saw #bohemianrhapsody and I‘m curious for more Freddy bio. I‘m unsure of my #fairytaleretelling picked for #winter #Booked2019, so I grabbed this backup book. And decided on the third as a #possiblechoice for my #setinappalachia pick for #readingwomen2019. I love #readingchallengeplanning!

Cinfhen, thereadingwomen, alisiakae

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen I‘ve heard so many good things about it. I‘m such a #ficklereader! We had the weirdest thing happen at the movie. The theater‘s entire power went out with 30 minutes left in the movie. So now we have to go back (for free) and watch it all again to get to see Malik do Freddy at LiveAid. Or wait for DVD next month. Having trouble deciding which to do! 6y

alisiakae Interesting picks! If you are looking for any more rec‘s for Appalachia, I highly recommend Guests on Earth! A historical fiction novel set at the Highland mental health hospital in Asheville during the time that Zelda Fitzgerald was a patient there.

Guests on Earth: A Novel

Cinfhen Go see it on the BIG SCREEN with surround sound!!!! It‘s UH.MAY.ZING!!!! So frustrating that you missed that part 😫😫 6y
