Book 29 in the Hamish Macbeth series sees more messy romantic entanglements and multiple gruesome murders. I love listening to these because I love the small town village life of Hamish and all of the eccentric busybodies that live in Loch Dubh. Dunno what I‘m going to listen to after I finish this series. Does anybody have any good recs for cozy mysteries with a decent amount of books in the series? 4⭐️

everlocalwest I have several big cozy readers at the bookshop - per them I'd recommend Rhys Bowen and Laura Childs. 💙📚 now

I finished this, but other than the story of the water buffalo and the boy who left and then returned home, don‘t ask me to tell you any details. I struggled to stay focused during several sections. I see how it addressed important points about colonialism, but I also expected more about the actual coffee business.

BarbaraBB Agree!! A very boring book. Kids in NL still have to read it in school, instead of stimulating their reading pleasure with something less dull. 16h
Dilara I also remember struggling with this book when I read it a couple of decades ago. Still, I am sad that the Fairtrade mark isn't called Max Havelaar anymore. It made me feel all warm inside to see a literary sign on everyday products in the supermarket... 14h

This twisted page turner has left me wishing the author had other titles out there for me to voraciously consume. What a well written, crazy story! #audiobook

Yenya1954 This sounds like a book I would enjoy—it‘s now on my TBR list. 2d

I‘ve been a fan of Tim Matheson since seeing him in a made for TV movie in the 90s. He has had a fascinating life & career & has been in so many movies & shows, including Leave It To Beaver, Bonanza, The West Wing, etc. And my forever favorite role of his is when he played Lucy‘s stepson on the hilarious movie Yours, Mine & Ours. He narrates the audiobook & does a great job. Highly recommended. 5⭐️

Avery Fuller was dead, and the girl who‘d been living her life for eighteen years couldn‘t wait to learn who she really was, underneath it all.
She turned her profile toward the airline counters and walked boldly into her future.

When I look down, she is holding out another paperback, and on top of it, a note. I‘m going to get you out of here. I promise. xoxo.
And when I looked up, it is not some friendly old librarian I see.
Instead, it is my mom. Alive and well and staring down at me.

⭐⭐⭐

This was a short #audiobook that told a poignant yet inspiring story. Not my favorite book ever, but it was better than expected. A good reminder to live in the moment and to be present. (I will never completely stop taking pictures and trying to make physical memories either though because when life goes awry those are sometimes all you have left besides the memories.)
