A woman who longs to have a voice in a society where women are invisible, Ana's story takes us to to the early 1st century, where she is the wife of Jesus. Whether you are religious or not, Kidd focuses most on the human aspects of Jesus as a gloriously flawed man, but make no mistake ... this is Ana's story and her search to find her purpose in the brutal world surrounding her.
One day late. #oops
When you're rereading the entire canon of SH with #NoPlaceLikeHolmes, and these are your favorite stories/books of ALL time, how can you not pick them again as your favorites? For me, this is the definitive book with the definitive stories. Most of the classic Holmes' tales are in this one. #sherlocked

A blackout poem I created in complete homage to Betty Smith's A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN.

REBOOT! Based on the fact that we're all a bit behind and because of the holidays, I moved everything back a month. Above is the revised schedule.
Next discussion date will be for the 1st half of REVELATION, chapters 1-24, on 1/31/25. Hopefully, that gives us all a little more breathing room. I'm really enjoying this one and hope you are, too! 🤩

This was written in 1975! 😱 How can you not love a late-Victorian-self-sufficient-no-nonsense-badass female archaeologist protagonist who travels to Egypt in search of antiquarian objects and the freedom to do as she pleases? Throw in some worthy sidekicks and adversaries as well as a mummy-run-amok, and you have one heckuva fun historical detective read. I see more Amelia Peabody in my future.
I mistakenly read #2 in this series last December and decided to start from the beginning this December. Happily, I believe I have found a new series to explore. Chief Inspector Gamache and the bucolic community of Three Pines, Quebec, has enchanted and engaged me with an intriguing murder of a beloved member of the village, one whose death shatters all who loved her. I look forward to learning more about the characters and this enchanting town.

1. Matt had a Plan B for the beyond-charred croutons for the Christmas Caesar salad.
2. My niece-kitten loved her toy from Santa Paws.
3. Beautiful sunsets this week and highs in the (gasp) 60s!
4. A quiet, low-key Christmas with our dear friend Ann and her greyhound Phoebe (opening her Lamp Chop from Santa Paws).
5. Kate & Pippa opening their gifts from Santa Paws. Matt ... always.
And all of you lovely Littens. 💙
#12daysofchristmas @Andrew65
Dark academia, meticulous etymology, bildungsroman, speculative fiction that reads like fiction and NF at the same time ... I was completely gobsmacked.
@Gissy ... what a lovely surprise! Thank you so much for the holiday sentiments, the adorable bookmark and cute-as-can-be doggies post-its. I can't wait to use them all! P.S. I hope all the #LLS boxes arrived!
Wishing you and your family the happiest of New Year's. I'm lucky to have found you on Litsy. 🩵💙🩵
Holiday happies ... @Cuilin, the ornament is gorgeous. Another talent you have. I can't even draw a stick figure correctly. I will cherish it always. And @julieclair, did you diamond paint this fabulous bookmark? It's beautiful, and I'm currently using it for STILL LIFE. Finally, @kspenmoll, what an adorable wooden bookmark with no truer sentiment.
Thank you all, m'dears; so glad we're Litsy friends. 🩵💙🩵
@Cuilin ... I remember reading your review of this a few months ago, and I immediately stacked it. MACBETH is my favorite Shakespearean play, and I was like, “A book about Lady Mac?“ Yes, please! I just read HEREAFTER a couple of months ago and look forward to diving into this one. The bookmarks are frickin' adorable, too! I'm so glad we're journeying through #NPLH together and am lucky to have found you on Litsy. 🩵💙🩵
@Caitiewithac ... this has been #stacked on my Litsy “to reads“ for quite a while! Thanks for getting it for me! The candy is divine, too. I love the sentiment of the Tic-Tacs. 😂 I'm truly lucky to have found you on Litsy. I hope you and Abby had a fabulous holiday, and happiest of New Year's to you both. 🩵💙🩵
@AmyG ... thank you so much for sharing your favorite mystery writer with me. I'm always on the lookout for that next great crime/mystery/detective read, and you've given me someone I've never heard of before. The card is beyond gorgeous, the German shepherd magnet adorable (and is Kate approved). Matt's beside himself with the SK book, too. You are an incredible lady, and I'm lucky to have found you here on Litsy. 🩵💙🩵
#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe
Some of these were weird. I also took the survey with the idea that if I EVER tried it at any time of year, it counted. I hope if you take it you'll do the same.
My 3 fave things to do on New Year's Eve or Day:
1. Stay home on NYE and let the amateurs go out there! 😂
2. Read in front of the fire ... what a surprise.
3. On 1/1 it's all about college football. 🏈

4. Tag a few!
Tagging the #ShardlakeBR crew. All are welcome to play! 🤩

#12daysofChristmas
A reread (of quite a few times), but an exciting start to the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes #buddyread with the lovely @Cuilin and quite a few fab Sherlockians. The first of the SH canon, and it does not ever disappoint. #sherlocked
Thanks for hosting this fun event again, @Andrew65! 🤩

Happy Jólabókaflóð! Thank you so much, @Deblovestoread, for this lovely swap! Hygge Hour for me is tonight. I'm gonna hunker down in front of a fire with some cocoa + peppermint Schnapps, your delicious Peppermint Patties, and this holiday Poirot mystery. My heart is full. ❣️💚❣️
And thanks, @MaleficentBookDragon, for another fabulous #jolabokaflodswap. 💙❄️💙
And peace and kindness. Wishing these things to all of you. 💙❄️💙
