pickSomething happens near the end of this book that I think is highly unbelievable; however, I still liked this story of second chances. I loved the characters and the parrots. Night #audiowalk today.

I‘ve got about 2 hours left in this book. Troy is a hateful one. It was quite chilly this morning. I even had to wear a jacket! #audiowalk
Because of this book, I am also simultaneously reading Spoon River Anthology, which I apparently never read in school. I‘m enjoying it too and am reminded of Lincoln in the Bardo. #audiowalk
It was 43° when I left the house this morning; it eventually got up to 74°. Still liking this book. #audiowalk
I think I‘m going to like this book; I feel invested in the characters. I picked up my granddaughter from school, and we went for a walk by the bay and out to dinner for sushi (her) and ramen (me). What a lovely day! #audiowalk
pickLoved it! Some people in my book club didn‘t but it all worked for me: the accurate snapshot of life during early Covid/BLM, the ghost elements, the bookstore setting (that I now relate to even more) and the Indigenous focus. It was an unusual story with a distinct voice, and I will definitely read more of this author.
November BOTM picks are live!!!
I love when they‘re up early!
What are we thinking?!
so-soI read this quickly, mostly because I was mad at myself for not abandoning it early when I had an inkling that I should. But I kept thinking. “How could I *not* grow to love the story given the premise?” After heartache, Evie, the 30-something American MC, absconds to Northumberland (coastal plains, moors, & castles) to run a bookstore as part of a holiday let. She meets a local farmer — and his dog.
But guess what? Writing matters, buddies!👇🏻
pickA southern mystery where the main character Madeleine, returns to her hometown after her aunt dies. She finds she has inherited the bookstore owned by her deceased aunt. Arson, murder and more arson ensues and Madeleine tries to solve the crimes. 3.75/5⭐️
