The Hand That First Held Mine | Maggie O'Farrell

pick

I loved this. The story unfolds slowly, bit by bit, and the detailed descriptions of motherhood, of colours and sensations and experiences are beautiful. I really really hate Margot! A book to make you hold your own child(ren) tightly and appreciate anew the privilege and joy of being their mother. I miss my babies!

Jeg I remember loving this too. 22h

Instructions for a Heatwave | Maggie O'Farrell

so-so

I heard this one raved about on a podcast, but it didn‘t quite work for me. It‘s a family story and I liked the bits of the story itself, but the structure on audio really didn‘t work. It jumps around in time without any pauses or notice that that‘s what‘s happening and it was confusing and distracting.

Murder at the Dinner Party: A cozy historical murder mystery novel | C.J. Archer

pick

Cleopatra Fox continues to solve mysteries, its 1900 and she should be looking for a husband- but instead has the slowest of slow burn romances with a fellow detective. Her family and friends (the hotel staff) continue to play a big part in these books.

The Betrayal of Thomas True | A. J. West

pick

Fascinating, brutal and intimately very sad novel about gay men in London in 1715.
Got lost down the historical rabbit hole reading about molly houses at the time.

Cathythoughts Sounds good. Stacked. 4d

BarbaraBB Now I have to google Molly houses. 3d

squirrelbrain Love those edges! 3d

Saturday | Ian McEwan

#saturdaychatterday I haven‘t had coffee yet 🤣 I‘m still lazing in bed scrolling on my phone, planning my day/weekend. I am going to bake this weekend; empire cookies, gingerbread and chocolate crackle cookies for sure. We are going to see 🎶The Sound of Music 🎶 with John‘s parents tonight. And reading 📖 what are you all up to as we get closer to Christmas and holidays ?

kspenmoll Sounds like a Festive, Christmasy day! I am home nursing a cold, but my husband & son are trimming the tree. Late this year… (edited) 3d

mcctrish Oh @kspenmoll I hope you feel better soon! I‘m a firm believer of the tree getting ‘trimmed‘ when it gets trimmed, no mandated time line. It‘s nice to take your time and just enjoy it ❤️ 3d

DogMomIrene More baking! I‘m leaning toward baking some holiday treats myself.🤔 3d

mcctrish @DogMomIrene I made my lists of treats to bake, made the gingerbread dough and it‘s chilling for baking tomorrow and I‘ve got to do a grocery run 3d

DogMomIrene @mcctrish See it‘s this level of planning that I need to embrace. I‘m pretty good at meal planning every week, but I need to cookie plan. Have fun. I bet your house smells soooo good! 3d

4/5 🌟

This is such an odd premise, but it was fun to just go along with it and see what would happen. There are some tense moments, but overall this is an amusing look at relationships, the thing that makes us happy and the things that annoy us.

willaful Cute words search format! 7d
