3. The snow is gone! I really hope it stays that way.
4. My family/pets

pickJanuary 2025 Book #7
My experience with short story collection is that like/enjoy some stories more than others just like this collection. Some of stories were so beautifully written, others in my humble opinion, were like beautiful expressions but didn‘t feel like a short story for me. 3.5⭐️
pickJanuary 2025 Book #4
Book 2 in A Year Round Christmas Mysteries series. Read for #CBBC 2025 @Mommamanzi
I liked this book 2 better that the first one. Also predictable but we see more drama, town gossip with funny scenes, expected in cozy mysteries☺️I think I will try book 3⭐️
pick#4 Lt. Darling is called England to review when his flight crew was shot down behind enemy lines in occupied France during WWII.Two men were lost.Darling is charged with murder.Lane goes over to uncover the plot & save Darling from the noose.
#5 a mother‘s son goes missing.Lane finds a dying man drifting in a rowboat.A red swastika lapel pin is on the nearby beach.Is there a resurgence of the Nazi party in this idyllic village? #serieslove2025
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.
pickThis is #4 in the Matthew Shardlake series, set in 1543 during the final years of Henry VIII's reign. Shardlake, a “hunchback“ (not my words) lawyer grapples with personal struggles while navigating the volatile religious and political landscape of Tudor England. When a close friend is brutally murdered, Shardlake is drawn into a chilling investigation that leads him to uncover a series of killings inspired by the Book of Revelation.

1) ⬆️ something that generated a bit of joy and hope this week.
2) Pippin passed his daycare intake! He did so well and it was such fun watching him interact with other dogs.
3) Worked a couple of half days this week and really enjoyed it. Thinking of not throwing in the tax towel after all.
4) Chapter a day buddy reads. It helps to have a plan.
5) Beautyland is a joy to listen to after the depressing #4 books
@DebinHawaii
#1 and #5 for me. I love the look of case laminate hardcover and I like listening to audiobooks while I'm making a meal or cleaning.
I actually commented on one of the books I own because of its amazing cover! (Assassin of Fire and Sacrifice by Mary Mecham)
Do you have a favorite?
