Hectic crazy morning, meetings, teaching, & as is often the case, the totally unexpected pops up. Finally, a lunch time breather with coffee and a book. 🍕☕️ 📖

pick4⭐️ Really liked this book; it would have been higher if the scenes from the 1950s were just as the ones that were about Maria‘s past. The story was not at all like the movie and Maria‘s story was much more compelling than the musical would lead one to believe. #2025 #biographicalfiction #fiction #1920s #1930s #historicalfiction
pickThis was first published in 1929 and was a bestseller. Ursula Parrott wrote many books and stories, but has been virtually forgotten. I learned about her and this book on a podcast called Lost Ladies of Lit, which I highly recommend. This book is really good and I wish more of her work would be brought back into print.
pickLeftover from #WinterGames this was a solid cosy murder mystery
I think this was a #readordonate from December @julieclair
1. I like the holidays and the chance to slow down
2. Murder at Everham Hall is set during New Year‘s and has a snowy manor scene on the cover ❄️
