pickThis was fun! Bookish Minerva needs to get to a geology symposium and she convinces rouge Colin to take her. This is #2 in a series, I didn't read #1 and you don't need to. They all start in the same town, but are all stand-alones. I found this to be funny and charming so much so I am going to read #4 also (the other 2 are centering military and that is not for me)
A nice historical romance with a smart women MC.

You could call this a slow burn and you could also call it boring. That‘s not to say that it didn‘t have its good points; it has a very intricate plot and a fairly satisfying end. But overall, I just wasn‘t that invested in the meanderings of Ben Packard and to be truthful my interest has been waning since book #2. Although, most will find this one to be a pick.
It's been a busy, but rejuvenating week:
1. I went to a rally to stand with Ukraine
2. At #1, I heard about a community organizing event that I attended the next day
3. At #2, I heard about an upcoming mutual aid workshop, which is just what I've been looking for
4. I saw Frigg, a Finnish folk band, in concert
5. I'm going to the symphony tomorrow
Tl;dr: Community and music are healing. 🩵

Just picked up this audio! Magic realism is my favorite genre typically. But man I've been sick off and on for almost a month and a half. (Send help). And I'm in such a bad reading slump. Do I want to listen to this... not really no. But I think I will love it so I'm forcing myself to at least start it while I cook dinner.
I also did not read the description of this book, too much focus required to read that. Lol wish me luck. 😷🤒😢
