pickThe White Queen is the second book in Philippa Gregory‘s series, and it absolutely leaves me wanting more. It‘s beautifully researched and written, bringing this fascinating period of history to life. At times, it can be confusing with so many characters sharing the same names—so many Edwards, Elizabeths, and Margarets!—but that‘s true to the era and part of what makes it feel authentic. I‘ll definitely be continuing with this series!
pickThis was one of our #ScreamTeam lead favourites and it was an excellent choice for the spooky season. A disturbing haunted-house story that has the gothic feel of a Daphne Du Maurier novel.

pickThis was a delight! It‘s been on my shelves for years, and a #blameitonLitsy trifecta prompted me to read it: I put it in my #192025 lineup for 1972, @TheAromaofBooks spotted it on my #BookSpin list & suggested a casual buddy read, then it landed as my August #BookSpin…clearly, it was meant to be!
Herriot‘s descriptions of the Yorkshire countryside make me long for England (admittedly, it doesn‘t take much to trigger that longing in me!). ⤵️
Well, my local post office was open yesterday after the Canada Post strike and I could finally get my #AllHallowsReadSwap in the mail. Unfortunately, the tracking shows it‘s probably going to be late. 😭 So sorry, @BookishMadHatter !

pickMy first Robert Harris novel! This was really enjoyable. However, if I hadn‘t been recommended this by someone I never would have picked it up from the blurb. In what is assumed to be the Middle Ages, a priest goes to a remote village to investigate the death of a local vicar. What follows is a very early twist/reveal and then revelations about human history, commentary on how societies are structured and how we (cont. in comments 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻)

pickI‘ve read the Chronicles of Fairacre but hadn‘t heard of this companion book until I found it while on vacation. Got to read it outside amidst the fall colors over the weekend and finished it up this morning. A very restful read as are all the Miss Read books.

He was indefatigable, if lunatic. Over the years he published no less than sixteen articles on the de Winter case; he wrote a book, The Lady Vanishes: A Solution to the Manderley Mystery,He became the bane of my life,Sex and death are combustible components: Evans lit their fuse without hesitation. The result? Pyrotechnics. He turned Rebecca into a legend and her death into a myth. JUST FOUND THE-PARAGRAPH INTERESTING!
