so-soJanuary 2025 Book #3
I enjoyed this Christmas cozy mystery first book but didn‘t love it. Quite predictable, not at the beginning but in the middle of the story. Too slow but it is the first book in the series and I think it introduced well the characters. 2nd book in this series was chosen for #CBBC this year round so I decided to read book one first to continue with book 2😃👍 @Mommamanzi 2.8/3⭐️
Tomorrow I need to do the sleeve buttonholes, topstitch the lapels, and press the shit out of it. Then my tweed jacket is finally done!
To be honest, I didn‘t listen to a TON of DEADHOUSE GATES while I worked because the last week has all been fiddly handsewn stuff I wanted to focus on—and because, unpopular opinion coming up, I liked GARDENS OF THE MOON more than this one. Still, I‘m invested enough to tackle #3 in due course. #audiosewing
Book 2 is on hold through Libby but I like this series so much I jumped to #3.
The Murderbot series is relatable, not overly technical and a lot of fun.
Happy Friday! It‘s not been a perfect week but there was joy! 💛 Here‘s my #5JoysFriday list:
1. I took a few PT0 days this week that were a joy even if I had to work on a project during them. ⬇️
2. It was a joy to not get work calls & work out of a coffeeshop to make it seem less work-ish & get fed & caffeinated.
3. An underrated joy is to see a book come out Tues, put a “notify me” on Libby, get the book added notification & be the first ⬇️
Thank you @BarbaraBB! I LOVE a quiz. I am super excited my results of the first Booker International I should read I already have a hold on at the library. I am #3 of 5 copies so hopefully soon!
So many books, so little time.

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
A taut,suspenseful,storyline that kept me reading far into the night.Cold-blooded assassin & master of disguise is on the loose.He has brutally murdered a “Land Girl”,who works at retired policeman Madden‘s farm.Madden joins in Scotland Yard, Chief inspector Sinclair,his old friend& coworker to hunt down this devious killer.As usual, the historical,architectural,& landscapes of both city & country are depicted with authentic sensory images.
#MentalHealthMonday a day late !
1.every day is crazy day.I have much to do but the pain & cruelty coming down in this political scene is toxic.
2.music is always a great idea!
3. I was pretty edgy in my choices as a young adult, I find myself in this crazy time gravitating to the pop/rock of my childhood for comfort!😁I am diehard NPR usually, but can‘t take the ridiculous crap all day long.

3. Depends on the issue. I make Spotify playlists based on my moods. Lately I've been switching between " My Villian Era" and "Angry Metal".
