Celine: A novel | Peter Heller
post image
Pickpick

I had some trouble rating this book because the book itself can't quite seem to decide what it wants to be. It‘s also not exactly a novel, but somewhere in between. A novel with some thriller aspects. A slow-paced suspense with a lot of backstory. A spy story not about the spy at all. A missing person case with a long explanation as to why the detective takes on missing person cases. Something like that. The point is, I really enjoyed it. But⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) I'm also not sure exactly why 😂

Great #LMPBC pick @bookandbedandtea !! @Jerdencon @robinb

Susanita My book club liked it more than I did, but I want to try the Dusty Miller sundae. 4w
bookandbedandtea I like your analysis, Sarah. I can't properly describe the book, and couldn't nail down a genre for it, but I really enjoyed it. 🤷‍♀️ 4w
robinb I enjoyed it as well, but it was definitely different. And I get what you say about the genre thing. At times it felt like a cozy, at times a book more about the mysterious Celine than a thriller/mystery. Celine was the focus, all else took a backseat. 😂 4w

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Just finished up my December #LMPBC. My first Heller book, and I enjoyed it. Won‘t go into detail as I want to preserve surprises for my group. 😉

I‘ll be getting this out in the mail after Christmas.

Dog Run Moon: Stories | Callan Wink
Pickpick

After reading August, I knew I would have to check this book out. Dog Run Moon is the first short stories book I have read. “Off The Track“ and “In Hindsight“ I absolutely love Callan Wink. His stories are so easy to read, yet so illustrative and intricate, and his characters are so simple, yet so deep and philosophical. He seems to have such a good understanding of the basic desires and thrills of human beings.

Meh, I enjoyed the mystery part of it, not so much the romance. I also had similar feelings for the first book in this series. But it‘s now off my physical TBR and on the donate pile. Also it was a #randomshelfpick for the #rushathonchristmaschallenge

August | Callan Wink
Pickpick

August (like the month after July) is a beautiful coming of age story about a boy and his journey from a Michigan childhood to the beginnings of a working adulthood in Montana. It touches on growing up, heartbreak, and familial issues, and reminded me of the small towns I grew up in and people I knew. I found it very touching and relatable, and did not want it to end.

Dilara Can I ask where you found the picture? It's very pretty, and the girl reminds me of someone. If it's taken from a book, I'd quite like to look at it... 4mo
Soubhiville Yes!!! 🙌 4mo

Day 8 of the #wintergames photo challenge - Wildlife

I‘m sharing some pictures of animals that showed up in my backyard near the bird feeders.

Photo 1 - This is a Cooper‘s Hawk. This picture is from the day before Thanksgiving this year. My birds saw him and they all flew off.

Photos 2,3 & 4 - These are Black Bellied Whistling Ducks. These pictures are from August.

#GhostsOfXmas

kelli7990 (Continued in comments) This isn‘t the first time this Hawk has been in my backyard. The first time he visited was 1 year ago. A year ago, I was sitting outside watching the birds eat because I fed them and he flew down on the ground and got one of my birds. It freaked me out when I saw it. I liked when the Ducks visited but when my dog saw them in the backyard, she lost her mind. She wanted to scare them off because she doesn‘t like big birds. (edited) 4mo

Hattie Big Sky | Kirby Larson

21 Nov-4 Dec 23 (audiobook)
Hattie is a teenaged orphan who has been shunted between distant relatives. During WWI, she receives a letter informing her that her uncle has left her his claim in Montana and she embarks on a quest to become a homesteader and make good her claim. It is interesting to follow her attempts and ponder the work and luck involved. She is also confronted with bigotry and discrimination in the name of patriotism.
