It‘s February #AuthorAMonth readers. This month we‘ll be celebrating Roxane Gay. What are you planning to read?
I haven‘t gotten to this year‘s Google form yet. I will try to do that by my mid month post so you can start recording what you‘ve read. In the meantime, if you use StoryGraph here‘s the link to the challenge there:

In light of recent developments, I decided to lean into Black History Month for the month of February. My remaining book club and #authoramonth selections are already poised in that direction. While looking at my TBR list, I remembered something from my year end stats that I forgot to post at the time.
On both Goodreads and StoryGraph, Finding Me was the highest rated of the books I read in 2024. Isn‘t that interesting?
This is a record for me!! What a great reading month! Here are my stats:
17 books: #litsyatoz
6 books: #foodandlit #Netherlands
1 book: #foodandlit #Italy #Jubilee
1 book: #whatthedickens
3 books: #authoramonth
2 books leftover from #wintergames
4 books for fun!

#AuthorAMonth I tried to listen to this but I just couldn‘t. Things I liked about this book are that Lord Peter is a book lover, his mother doesn‘t think his hobby is inappropriate, he has a “Jeeves”-type character who helps him. Things I didn‘t like are that he behaves like solving crimes is all a lark, cheerfully going to the house where the body was found and joyfully disturbing the crime scene. And he rhymes, rhymes about murder. As I (cont)⬇️
No murder but Lord Wimsey trusts his gut and investigates anyway. He finds motive and countless suspicious circumstances but no evidence of murder, until another person dies. And no evidence that it was murder. The hint of racism appears again and that turned me off quite a bit so that I won‘t continue the series. Saved, just barely, by some instances of lol humor and a nice analysis of how changes in laws create motives for murder. #authoramonth
