Stoner | John Williams

pick

Williams quiet strength, resolve and integrity throughout life‘s injustices was both heartbreaking and inspirational. In some ways he reminded me of my ex husband. Never being pulled into the drama and behaving badly.

Stunning! This is a little book but it had a big impact on me. So atmospheric, I wish I could spend time reading on this island.
Aghh Mary, you are definitely a keeper! The ending was perfect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy | Megan Bannen

pick

Hart, a demigod, is a marshal in Tanria who delivers bodies to Mercy the undertaker at Birsdall & Son. The only thing Hart likes about going there is Mercy's dog Leonard. Hart is gruff and jaded, since his job also includes killing drudges (zombies) that take over the bodies of the dead. There's absolutely nothing Mercy likes about Hart whenever he shows up at Birdsall & Son.

The Party: The perfect Christmas treat from the Sunday Times bestselling author | Tessa Hadley

so-so

I can accept that this is nicely written, and some people will like it very much, but I‘m afraid this coming-of-age story of two sisters, set in post-war Bristol didn‘t really move me.

First book of the year now read! Yahoo!! Enjoyed this addition to the Interstellar Brides series. Not my favorite in the series but good. I enjoyed that this book introduced a new planet into the mix. It was nice to shake things up a bit. Of course, there was plenty of sexy aliens and some drama to help the...

TheSpineView ..plot move along. The author introduced another Warlord in the book. So hopefully there will be a book about him. I am parcel to the beasts' stories in this series. Commander Zeus also had a small part in the book. Solid addition. 4 ⭐ 1d

Help a Litten out! I'm wanting to get back into reading challenges this year but I'm having a hard time figuring out what Litsy is hosting these days. It looks like a few I used to do aren't active anymore. Are there any I should know about? (I'm planning to do #bookspin with @TheAromaofBooks and #agathachristieclubR3 with @Librarybelle, of course!)

Picture of my dog's dumb teeth for tax!

TheAromaofBooks I'm participating in - #Pantone2025 and #FourFoursin25 with @lauredhel

The Kamogawa Food Detectives: The Heartwarming Japanese Bestseller | Hisashi Kashiwai

pick

3.5/4⭐️ (between very good and excellent)

I love the premise of this book and I flew through it, however I suspect I would have enjoyed it even more if I knew more about Japanese cuisine. The food descriptions meant nothing to me. The human stories resonated though.

Plot and Engagement: 4 (excellent) Character and Atmosphere: 3 (very good)
