The Husbands | Holly Gramazio

The premise is that Lauren is single but coming home from her best friend's hen night (a little worse for wear) she finds a strange man in her flat. Turns out he's her husband; but when he goes into the attic, a different husband comes down, and Lauren's world is a bit different (paint, carpets, books).
Ridiculous premise but has me laughing.

Read this one (I'm not even halfway yet)

humouress If she doesn't like him, she sends the newest husband into the attic and tries out the next one. It also affects those close to her (though they don't know it) like the time her sister hadn't had kids. Problem solved; change husbands. 1d

humouress Ch 30: With a late-February husband she finds crocuses coming up in her garden, and she relaxes her search for a while, resting in a world where someone bothered to plant bulbs in autumn. Over the course of a week the flowers crest the dirt and start to open. They‘re wonderful. But the husband himself is not to her taste; she moves on when the crocuses start to fade and she finds that nobody has planted daffodils for March. 15h

humouress Ch 2: He sounds very industrious. She doesn‘t have a vegetable patch, but perhaps he‘s brought it with him.

‘That‘d be great,‘ he says. ‘Just gimme a sec. The attic light was out when I was up there yesterday, let me change it while I remember.‘
‘Yeah,‘ she says, ‘okay.‘ She heads into the kitchen while he stays on the landing and pulls the ladder down – hears him jerk it to one side at the place where it always catches, like he‘s lived here for⬇ (edited) 15h

humouress ⬇ years. In the fridge, she is confronted by three different milks in a row: oat, cashew, dairy. God, and what if he drinks it black? He‘s an architect, after all. She‘ll just have to ask, and if he thinks it‘s weird then so be it. Maybe it‘ll be a way into a conversation that she still doesn‘t know how to start. ‘Do you want milk?‘ she calls out, stepping back on to the landing with the blue mug in her hands. 15h

humouress ⬇ ‘What?‘ says an entirely different man, climbing down the ladder from the attic.

Ch 3: She looks at the dark square. ‘Up there. Is Mich– was there anyone in the attic?‘
‘Like a squirrel? Mice? I don‘t think so. Do you want me to check?‘ He stands, one hand on the ladder, teetering between irritation and concern. The mug is still warm in her hands.
‘Yes,‘ she says.
‘Are you sure you‘re okay?‘
‘Yes. Yes, if you could check, please.‘ (edited) 14h

humouress ⬇The husband tightens his shapely lips and climbs partway back up the ladder, and then continues, up, up, all the way in, his bare feet (uncalloused, perfectly formed) disappearing before her eyes. There‘s a moment of movement and brightness above her, like a flash of sunlight through train windows, and a sharp crackle.
A moment later a blue furry slipper emerges from the trapdoor. And another.
Huh. (edited) 14h

Silence in the Library: A Lily Adler Mystery | Katharine Schellman

This is not a drill, America. Call congress today & demand staff at IMLS be reinstated. And prep your sign (and hat, and maybe headphones or earplugs?) to take this to streets on April 5! Hands off public libraries! #callCongress #defendlibraries

Librarybelle #DefendLibraries indeed! 1d

#Marchreadingstats

Considering I was in hospital having my hip replacement, I'm pretty pleased with how many books I read last month.

Have tagged the best book because even though it's not 5 stars, I've got my Dad into the series, and we're now both reading it!

Mudlarking Year: Finding Treasure in Every Season | Lara Maiklem

so-so

At the last possible second, I got myself a #BookSpinBingo!

This book was okay, but it feels very much the same as Maiklem's other mudlarking book, and sometimes it's really just autobiography -- there are (few, but notable) sections and entries not about mudlarking at all. That wasn't something I clicked with well.

The Murder of Mr. Ma | SJ Rozan, John Shen Yen Nee

pick

Set in 1920‘s London, involving the murder of a Chinese man that was beneath the police to investigate. Two very different Chinese men combine forces to investigate the murder and find themselves looking for a serial killer. Absolutely needs to be made into a BBC tv series
