pick“Isn‘t that just DARLING, darling?”
This is a darling book set in post WWII Washington and laced with girly friendships that could knock the socks right off of you with ferocity. Touch of murder, some spies and a Pilsbury Bake-Off.
I came across this poem about Ritchie Valens, and wanted to share on the anniversary of "the day the music died."

August was another disappointing month reading-wise, so while an honourable mention goes to one of my two September reads, The Cat Who Caught a Killer, for being a bit of fun, my choice for #12Booksof2024 goes to this November read, a delightful 1950s period piece.
