⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great characters. Tackles tough topics, but has a great balance of humor. Grief. Regrets. Mortality. Mental health. And Nelson, a character I greatly love. #booksbrewsandbooze #underthewhisperingdoor #tjklune

In Praise of Retreat: Finding Sanctuary in the Modern World 📚 By Kirsteen MacLeod 📚 Currently reading! It is fascinating to read this book after a year of retreat due to the pandemic. But the book refers to a more deliberate retreat, one that nourishes the soul. Just started the audiobook and looking forward to delving into it! #booksbrewsandbooze #inpraiseofretreat #findingsanctuaryinthemodernworld #kirsteenmacleod #netgalley #netgalleyreads

Now onto this book!

It‘s cozy mystery time!

Listened to the first one ages ago and was delighted to see the second one is free to listen to on Audible! #booksbrewsandbooze #thesweetestkindoffate #windycitymagic #crystalcestari

The Lost Apothecary has officially made it onto my top 10 list of favorite books. It took me a few days after finishing it to get my thoughts together because I just wanted to soak up the book for a while.

First, author Sarah Penner did an amazing job writing this book. With a dual timeline and three different perspectives, it could have gotten very confusing, very fast. But it didn‘t - it wasn‘t hard to keep track of times (cont. in comments)

More pics of the Anne of Green Gables pop-up dollhouse book... and a peekaboo Ghost! #booksbrewsandbooze #anneofgreengables #popupbooks #anneofgreengablespopupdollhouse

Do I ever love magical realism! Sarah Addison Allen is such a purveyor of magic. I‘ll read anything she writes because her character creation and storytelling is so damn good.

I cared about the characters 10 minutes into the book. That‘s magic. (rest of review in comments)

My March 2020 reads: New Kid by Jerry Craft, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman, The Oyster Catcher by Jo Thomas, Isabella and the Dragon by Eric Hahn and Things My Son Needs to Know About the World by Backman #booksbrewsandbooze

What an incredibly sad and moving story. This is a book that will stay with me for a long time, one I know I‘ll talk about often.

Here‘s something I appreciate in books: Sometimes, the endings aren‘t always wrapped up nicely in a bow. Sometimes they don‘t wrap the reader up in a cozy blanket. Sometimes, they feel more real. This is one of those stories.

I love his writing. He‘s one of my favorite authors. This book is so sweet, I wish I could buy it for every father out there. The way he loves his wife too? So heartwarming. #booksbrewsandbooze #thingsmysonneedstoknowabouttheworld #booksbrewsandboozereviews #fredrikbackman
