pickA 10 out of 10! At times hard to read (likely given the nature of my profession), but a worthwhile read. #BookEighteenOf2025
pickMeet Sweet Potato, the latest addition to our home. He's itty bitty and ridiculously cute!! 😻
Finished the tagged book. It's a great story and weaves in a lot of voices and themes. It has a slow start but once it got going, I was hooked. The book's style feels old-fashioned, and so I do wonder if many kids today would enjoy it.
My next two reads! First up is a re-read, In Cold Blood. Breakfast At Tiffany's is one of my top 5 favourite books, but I have no recollection of In Cold Blood. Looking forward to diving in. #BookEighteenOf2025
Started the tagged book on audio. It's been on my Goodreads TBR since 2014 and today felt like the right day to start it. In the mood for some children's lit!
And enjoying my blooming peonies from the garden. 💮💮💮

Reading very much like a work of Fiction, this brutal account of the Clutter Murders is bone chilling.
Not only is Capote a masterful writer, but his dedication to obtaining all the information needed for this recounting amazes me - especially taking into account the when. No quick Google searches to check facts, or see photos of places. Just feet on the ground investigation.
pickI have a lot of love for the McNally Editions series of overlooked books. This is a coming-of-age story of a young girl - Irene - growing up in a still-segregated town in 1950s Kansas. It is told in a series of chapters from various characters point of view, which gives depth to the story (and is one of my favourite narrative devices). Neither cloying nor strident, this book struck the perfect balance. Excellent.
