Overall, I liked this series opener featuring a book town, mysteries, and a cozy murder. As other reviews have indicated, the author‘s choice to describe an off page character with a non-PC description is jarring and makes me wonder why. However, I felt for the MC who had a contentious relationship with the sheriff and a sister who high maintenance comes to mind. I plan to read more in the series. #192025 #2008 #52BookClub23 #SetInAWorkplace

My library hold finally came it. I taced through this book. It was an easy listen, and even with some of the dark events, this was a sweet read for me. 3 🌟

A lovely book! The author quit his job and became a guard at his favorite museum to help work through the grief of his brother‘s death. His love for the museum shows on every page. He is a great storyteller & speaks with joyfulness about his work, his fellow guards, the visitors and, of course, the art. I savored this book & really wished I lived closer to NY so I could wander the galleries!

I can appreciate the writing in this book, from the #womensprize long list, but the subject matter was all just a bit..well..grubby for me. The MC starts work at an indie cinema that soon gets bought by a multiplex and the behaviour of her workmates matches the filthy carpets, the overflowing toilets, and the recycled popcorn of the cinema. Be prepared for lots of bodily functions, sex and death. A light pick only.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ To pay off student debt, Beaton headed west to the Alberta oil sands for a quick buck. This encapsulated society exposed her to gendered violence and the detrimental effects on local First Nations peoples. The blatant misogyny in these camps was sickening, but felt unavoidable and impossible to report. Weighed down by her debt, she stayed, then created a beautiful art piece about it. A beautiful #chunkster of a graphic memoir!

I wasn‘t expecting to read this straight through but that‘s exactly what I did. What a delight! So many lovely characters & some true villains & in the end they all got what they deserved - so satisfying. I loved the family dynamics, the behind the scenes at the fashion house & the clothes, of course. I was fascinated by the undergarments - what do you think a “backless brassiere” is?
