pickBook #16 of 2025: “Spider Woman‘s Granddaughters”, edited by Paula Gunn Allen
I loved this book. Even the preface—especially the preface. I picked it up at a record store, of all places. A beautifully put together collection of stories by and about Indigenous women across North America. Do recommend.

I went to write my review of book 17 for #BobWhiteBuddies & realized I never reviewed #16 last month. Book 16 is a favorite of mine, I liked the mystery (even though it was pretty easy to solve) & how everyone got involved with determining poor “Janey‘s” identity. And any time we get to visit with Mrs. Vanderpoel, I‘m happy & want her to make me cookies.🍪This book marks the end of my hardback Trixie books so a bit sad.
pickI decided to read this Novella and liked the characters. My first book for #FoodandLitGreenland @Catsandbooks @Texreader #Read2025 @DieAReader #SeriesLove25 @TheSpineView @Andrew65 it's #16 of the series but it didn't matter. The story was interesting. #ISpyBingoMay gave me 1 bingo spot. @TheAromaofBooks
Ready for #summerreading ! Hoping for the temps to get out of the 50s and 60s 🤞. (Note: #16 is actually Unreasonable Hospitaliy) #bookspinbingo
#HaikuADay Day #16 #HaikuHive
Had a news alert about Kīlauea‘s (active volcano on The Big Island) continued erupting pop up this morning leading me to the live YouTube channel to watch https://www.youtube.com/live/oG5zz9Sjw3E?si=HIdNw6vshRzNM-va (where the photo is from) & that inspired today‘s haiku.
Note: The easiest way to pronounce Kīlauea is kee-lau-ay-uh, so 4 syllables.
Kīlauea rains,
Flaming showers of lava
Kīlauea reigns.

Another book I finished a while ago & didn‘t post a review for. My second April #Roll100 pick (#16 Any Library Book). While not my favorite Hendrix book (it didn‘t have as much dark humor as his others), I did enjoy it. It did drag a little in spots, but by the end I was anxiously turning the pages to find out what happened. Less about witchcrafty horror & more about the horrors done to unmarried pregnant girls & women in the era.😱

I finished this last week but I‘m behind in reviews. Read for #MonthlyNonFiction2025 it was also one of my April #Roll100 picks (#16 Any Non-Fiction). It‘s an interesting juxtaposition to read this book while watching random famous people try to pass themselves off as astronauts & having Nancy Drew solve a mystery with exploding oranges at Cape Canaveral. I remember being in class (college) in the morning when they wheeled in a tv & ⬇️
