I spent part of today reading Mary Stewart with my favourite cat. (He‘s also the only cat I spend significant time with, but nobody tell him that.) I like THIS ROUGH MAGIC so far, but I‘ve had too many interruptions. Here‘s hoping I can dig into a bigger chunk before bed. #MFMarch
pickReadable, but not in depth. Does pretty much exactly what it says on the tin.
so-soLiv‘s dad, who ran away to Greece, asks her to help him w/ his Atlantis documentary. When she gets there, she meets Theo, her father‘s charming “prod g”/assistant. Will she ever understand her dad? Will all the alone time w/ Theo led to something?
This one was cute. It was just a little slow & long for me. I also wanted a little more romance. It was interesting learning more about theories on Atlantis tho
pickWas fun to escape to Corfu with the Durrell family for a while. Was surprised at how often I chuckled aloud while reading, also how well the TV miniseries (which I watched a few years ago) adapted it.
And ticked off another prompt for the #192025 challenge. @Librarybelle
Meanwhile more snow in the forecast for tomorrow. 😑
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

pickA great companion for a Mediterranean trip. August Blue is alluring, hard to put down and sprinkled with witty humour and biting social commentary. I have a sense that a little too much goes left unsaid to really understand what‘s going on, and I didn‘t get particularly invested in Elsa‘s narrative; we join her following THAT performance when she is trying to redefine and reassess who she is. Ultimately the dreamlike prose pulled me along. 7/10

Spending a moment on the beautiful island of Corfu this morning

Very excited for this one! Greece was my first European country that I visited and I spent some time on Mykonos (pictured below!) I bought this for myself ages ago after seeing it in a Greek travel group on Facebook, but I'm only getting to it from my TBR stack now. #BookTwoOf2025
