1. Tag a favorite mystery you‘ve read
Louise Penny is fan-freaking-tastic. I still think about this one.

2.What‘s your favorite way to prepare eggs?
Scramble them & add to sautéed scallions in the pan, then don‘t touch them When they‘re halfway cooked throw a buttered tortilla on top, then flip the whole thing over til the eggs are cooked & the tortilla‘s toasted. Roll it up and eat. Mmmmmmmm.

Inside | Alix Ohlin

so-so

This started out so strong&then… the plot is like a bouncy ball,the characters actions don‘t really make sense except Annie/Anne maybe.Why does Mitch leave the love of his life to work in an indigenous community?Why does Grace act unprofessionally& why do Annie‘s parents not sue her?What is going on btw Grace&Mitch?I guess the underlying theme is:can we support one another,trust&let someone in?hence the title Inside?but I don‘t know.Not4me.

The Third Magic | Welwyn Wilton Katz

THE THIRD MAGIC was a huge deal for me when I was a kid. I paid SERIOUS MONEY for it at the Book Market (we‘re taking $1.75, compared to

xicanti I‘ve come back to in recent years. The prose, worldbuilding, and story structure give young readers full credit. It feels very Diana Wynne Jones meets Guy Gavriel Kay. I hope it doesn‘t pull any 80s dodginess in the back half. (edited) 1w

kwmg40 @Becker Thanks! 1w

kwmg40 @LiseWorks I once viewed this from a tall building too. It's become a landmark in Montreal! 1w

kwmg40 @willaful Do you mean the top of Mount Royal? I'm a little surprised that it can be seen from there, but then again, it is a VERY large wonderful image of Leonard Cohen! 1w

LiseWorks I'm pretty sure it was from there. It was far away but I still was able to take a photo of it. @kwmg40 1w

Octoberwoman Love him! 1w

willaful @kwmg40 That looks like the place. What a hike it was! We were there in Summer 2019. Oh the humidity!

One of my bookish friends (Miss Bates Reads Romance, if anyone knows her blog) took me on the Leonard Cohen tour while I was there, so I saw it more close up as well. But it's pretty cool, albeit small, from the mountain. 1w

kwmg40 @Octoberwoman Me too! I was fortunate enough to see him in concert twice. He was gracious and generous to his fans. 1w

kwmg40 @willaful Yes, Montreal can be very uncomfortable in the summer! I was there last summer when it was covered in smog from the wildfires. But it‘s still a great city to visit anytime. I grew up there and much of my family is still there. 1w

kwmg40 @willaful I hadn‘t known about the Leonard Cohen tour. Sounds like it would definitely be a worthwhile activity for a Cohen fan! 1w

willaful @kwmg40 It's just her own personal tour, of places he lived and wrote about. 😁 Very cool for a fan. I saw him in concert once, when I was maybe 9? My mom and aunt were big fans so I grew up loving his music.

Weirdly, I actually kind of enjoyed the humidity. I lived in Manhattan when I was young and I felt at home. My poor daughter was so miserable though! She's never lived anywhere but a mild climate.

1w

kwmg40 @willaful Nice that your friend shared this tour with you! I'm with your daughter -- I hate the humidity. I now live in Southwestern Ontario, where it's also hot and humid in the summer months. 1w

Fire Will Freeze | Margaret Millar

This was just delightful. I laughed out loud more than once at the sarcastic and witty comments in the narration and dialogue. The story unfolded beautifully, definitely a "this is why it's a classic" situation. I look forward to reading the others books in this massive collection.

To Track a Traitor: A Lane Winslow Mystery | Iona Whishaw

1. I redid my bookcases and put my TBR shelves near each other. Top shelf also includes favorites that I‘ve kept.
2. I‘m at Malice Domestic! That TBR list is CRYING after a “speed dating with authors” session.
3. Live performance of Grieg piano concerto. Very dramatic!
4. Two ballgames with drastically different outcomes but fun to hang out with my “summer family.”
5. Book club outing at a brewery in a bucolic setting.
