I look over at my sister lying on top of the piano singing 'Graceland'. I don't know if it's the best song to dance to, but V's dancing anyway, slowly, with his arms loosely around Xabi's neck, looking the happiest I've ever seen him. Happier even than when he got a flip phone for Christmas.

pickA wonderful, warm and heartfelt story about four friends in NYC, but centering on the main character Artie, a gay man who has turned sixty and doesn‘t know how to pick his life back up again after all his loved ones have passed away. In chapters alternating between the 1980‘s and the present time, written in gentle prose, we learn how he copes.

pickThe fun sequel I‘ve been waiting for. GUP is back and I loved him just as much as before. His humor is on par and his witty rules of life are what I needed. “He was done being sad” 💜Book #33 in 2025
Everything was going well with the dinner. No one brought up colonisation or euthanasia or the Springbok Tour.
Taken me a while, but getting into this now.
Which is a good job given that bookclub meets by the end of the month!
pickNon-traditional mostly Emma retelling with a little bit of Pride and Prejudice thrown in. Library Hold that came in. There's a Wait List for it so I went ahead and read. This graphic novel was gorgeous! I truly believe that Jane Austen is for everyone and this showed that. I appreciated that it gave historical context at the end. 🎩

Just bobbing around from park to park with my still-delightful book (which also takes a serious look at marital difficulties, in amongst all the fun bits). The Jardin Botanique de France was especially nice.
I absolutely bought this beer because of Jean Cocteau, and it‘s actually delightful. Yay! So is this madcap murder mystery from Alexis Hall. It‘s jam packed with references and oh, how I‘ve GIGGLED at it so far. Gonna read another big chunk while I finish the beer.
