So, this novella wasn‘t what I expected at all. You think it will be a quick read but this one isn‘t a page turner. You read a little and put it down. And so many themes to contemplate. It‘s about mermaids born from the pregnant slave mothers thrown overboard, but the book is really about holding memories and responsibility to community. This is a good one for a book club but read not listen. 2 of the podcast members didn‘t like the audio book. ⬇️

The widower of one of Dr Simpson's patients is distressed at the thought of an autopsy on his wife's body at the insistence of her father. Raven and Fisher get involved to prove that Dr S hadn't missed anything in his treatment.

A very slight tale that needed quite a bit of padding even to get up to novella length. It is based on a real case from the period but may be of interest only to those already invested in the series.

rwmg I read “The Spendthrift and the Swallow“ over lunch and still had time to read the first couple of pages of “Voices of the Dead“. 7h

Ohhhh this book is so beautiful and whimsical and adorable. Zuzana might be my favourite character in the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series, and it's lovely for Mik and here's story to take centre stage. The illustrations are gorgeous, as are the descriptions of Prague as the setting for their adventure. I loved this.

Since I'm still having trouble with my hands, I'm in desperate need of a break from all the doing of things, and I have Monday off, I'm going to join the #JustOneMoreChapter readathon and do my best to do not much more than reading. My only goal will be to read the tagged book and my other #CasttheDie books. I'll hopefully get to my #DoubleSpin book as well @ThrAromaofBooks

This one is so tiny! That being said, I‘m splitting it into two parts. Just to give those who need it a little extra time to catch up before we start another chunky one. And I selfishly want a little time to fit in some horror reads from my TBR in October. lol

Then Martin had turned them to a kitchen supply store and Arthur had nearly died as he wondered how many restaurant-quality pans he could fit in his luggage and how much of his 401k he could spend on knives. And how many knives could he put in his luggage before the TSA got annoyed?

“Do you have anyone running a Super Bowl pool up here?“ Arthur hated football but he couldn't handle another sideways promotion, even if that meant sticking his head up.

“Agent Sims used to do it, but he bashed a fax machine to death with a three-hole punch, then quit. So, that's an open position, as it were.“

I did a comfort reread to spend time with some of my favorite characters.

An ace romance that on the surface seems nothing like a romance, yet it's absolutely a romance.

“I'm sure there's a culture somewhere where silently shoving finger food at someone is an acceptable form of courting. Hobbits maybe.“
“I'm not-“
“Yes, you are and it's adorable.
