"I wait, browsing the stacks, thinking that the library is both the bookstore‘s enemy and our friend. They have everything here—why would anyone ever need to buy a book? On the other hand, there is nothing like the library to awaken a reader to the endless possibilities of the written word."

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!) Feel free to join in!

pickThis was such a good read. An interesting premise and main character. A cop, who gives up his job reluctantly, but has a taste for old and valuable books. When a “book scout” gets murdered and word of a highly valuable book collection goes missing, Cliff Janeway steps up to the task of trying to find out who and why they wanted him dead. When 2 more bodies are found it becomes much more personal. I gave this 4 but definitely a 5 ⭐️ book.
Whipped feta & roasted curry carrots with chimichurri sauce at our local bookstore + snackery. Yes, that‘s a thing. And yes, I love our little town. 🧡
🎧Loved this one! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickKali is a powerful storyteller in this coming-of-age book. She weaves several different stories but primarily follows the life of Luce, a young woman of Mexican and Belgian heritage living in the 1930s in Denver, Colorado. Luce possesses what is known amongst her Latin American culture as the gift of sight, reads tea leaves, and has visions of events. Luce navigates society on the cusp of the civil rights movement from a mixed-race perspective.
pickJust realized that I haven‘t reviewed this one yet! It was my last book read in January and it was a good one. Whatever kind of ending I was expecting was NOT that! Nor did I realize that this would be a mystery. Actually, there were a bunch of mysteries unearthed. The author did a great job filling in the gaps of this puzzle. I'm still pondering all of the threads and connections! 4/5⭐️

pickThis was really good. It jumps around between different generations of a family from 1860s-1930s Colorado.
