Ex-wife | Ursula Parrott

This was first published in 1929 and was a bestseller. Ursula Parrott wrote many books and stories, but has been virtually forgotten. I learned about her and this book on a podcast called Lost Ladies of Lit, which I highly recommend. This book is really good and I wish more of her work would be brought back into print.

Tamra Wow, that cover art! 😍 4w

This may be my favorite installment. I also appreciated her subtle plug of Uncle Nearest.

The New York Stories of Elizabeth Hardwick | Elizabeth Hardwick

What a delightful #jolabokaflod package! Thank you so much Danielle!! I am so pleased to have the Hardwick collection (love a NYRB edition) and Toffifees are a favourite! Also loved the card & paper.
It is a very snowy Christmas eve day in my part of the world (40+ cms expected ❄️❄️❄️❄️). Guess I'll have to stay at home and read. 😀

I almost gave up on this book in the first 30%
But I'm happy I stuck to it.

I'm a big slaughter fan, in fact I re-read the entire Grant County and Will Trent series before I picked up this one. So there wasn't a year gap of me trying to patiently wait for the next book. And I think that makes a difference.
I was in this Slaughter flow and this book just wasn't what I expected to be next in the flow

Enchanted_Bibliophile It did however turned out brilliantly as all Slaughter's work does. My problem was that I just couldn't care less about Mercy and the McAlpine family. I still don't really do, and that's weird, because Slaughter usually makes me care even when I don't feel like it.

I am however very happy with all my other favourite characters showing up and growing into more lovable people all around.
I'm curious to see where Slaughter will take us next year 2mo

The Convalescent | Jessica Anthony

so-so

Book 6 for #TenBeforeTheEnd and another one I‘ve had on my shelf for at least a decade. It was interesting and a creative merging of two timelines and some magical realism, but I didn‘t love it. I realized this is by the author of a new book, which I do still want to read - The Most.

Listening to tagged book and enjoying some Christmas ambiance before work this morning. Anyone know if there‘s a #holidaycardswap this year? I signed up for a lovely winter themed one, but I really enjoyed the Christmas one I did last year. Litsy is my cozy holiday home.

PuddleJumper @LitsyEvents is keeping track of things happening. I think that's a winter card swap 3mo
