pickAnother installment in the Cash Blackbear series with a pair of disturbing evildoers. I really liked the introduction of a tribal elder who gently nudges Cash to mature into her cultural heritage and the natural gifts she‘s been deprived of by the foster care system.
Sadly, a new narrator that presents Cash in a rather flat, monotone way.
I‘m currently reading my 7th Elizabeth Jane Howard with @shawnmooney and this one is a volume of her short stories. We‘ve been working through her books in publication order (and may even get to the start of The Cazalet Chronicles next year 😆).

Before the notoriety of John (Revé) Walsh & ‘America‘s Most Wanted‘, there was Stan & Julie Patz.
Etan‘s story will stay with me for a very, very long time. I‘ll be placing this on my permanent shelf? I highly recommend this read.
I'm in the middle of two books but do not expect to finish either tonight so here is my July roundup. Lots of good books this month; I think my favorite is Mary Jane.
pickFremlin is a delight as always! It‘s really surprising she isn‘t more widely read. She deserves a renaissance!
This one is a perfect mystery for summer reading. I didn‘t see the twist coming and character development hooks you from the beginning. The second husband?! 😳 That‘s what makes Fremlin special - keen observation of human nature, especially our fears & foibles.
I have an appointment with Fremlin in this spot for reading while husband & son fish this afternoon. I‘m in my favorite place in the world. 😊😌 Our backyard for three short days.
Federal lands should not be sold (as proposed) and hence locked up by the ultra wealthy. Little people like us would never have access to it or if so, only for a hefty price.
I‘m feeling a good read coming on!
