pickI never read as much as I think I will on vacation 😅
familiarize yourself with Magdalene Laundries before reading this otherwise you may miss the full emotional weight. I wanted more aftermath, but maybe that was the point. that small mercies fight systems built on shame & kindness doesn‘t always come with closure. ⛪️

Yesterday, I bought "Introducing the Medieval Dragon", "The History of Wales in 12 Poems", and a couple of bookmarks from Beaumaris Castle. I already have a couple of ?s from BC, but not *these* ones! ?
Today, at Plas Newydd, seat of the Marquises of Anglesey, I replaced a previously owned and given away copy of "Mist Over Pendle" with this 2nd✋? copy, and got another ?
pickI stared at the cover for waaaaaay too long. 😍 Could‘ve used more 🌶️🌶️🌶️
pickOverall, I'm calling this a pick, but kind of a soft pick.
This one is definitely what I would call a light read, with a bit of a YA feel, but a little more spice. It's a fun romp, laced with both humor and sadness, as we see our “heroes“ struggling with the aftermath of their prior adventure.

Hi, Shardlakians~
Full disclosure here. I am wwwaaaayyyy far behind! 🤪 I don't know if I'll be finished by 9/30 TBH. I have three options:
1. Still discuss on 9/30--thought the questions might be more open-ended.
2. Postpone discussion until 10/30 (not on Halloween, of course).
3. Finish on your own with no discussion unless you post your own review.
Where are you? What do you want to do? Comment below when you can. 💛💜🧡

“A Victorian ghost story that evokes a most unsettling kind of fear, The Silent Companions is a tale that creeps its way through the consciousness in ways you least expect—much like the companions themselves.”
