pick5🩷 This Book! I absolutely LOVED the narrator for Marcellus! What a great story with good characters and of course, an octopus extraordinaire❤️ I took the physical copy out of the library also to jot a few things down. Was not aware that Octopuses had 3 hearts!!! Also had never heard of the wooden carved Swedish Dala horses!
#Washington(state of). I love when a book is so heart warming and teaches me things.
pickA stagnate, desperate existence becomes fertile ground for obsession to root deep.
And the temporary respite it offers through fantasy and distraction so easily gives way to danger and tragic consequence.
Suitably dark, like so many fairy tales of old.
And a practical reminder to never feed the wildlife…
so-so#@carolshieldsprize This was a fast read for me. It was well written, but I did not think the novel was special. 3 🌟 I am surprised it is on the long list.
Amelia warming my lap while I skip yoga to finish this book. It‘s not moving that fast and yet it‘s compelling? I don‘t know why I‘m so hooked 🤷♀️
Just feeling this song today, and today's #feelinthelove prompt gave me an excuse to share.

panI assume this book is a metaphor for domestic abuse? If I look at it through that lens I like it ok. If not, then I really didn‘t. Characters are irritating, whole story line is boring, nobody evolves. I wish the bear was interesting in some way. If you don‘t want to read it, the mom dies and the sister gets eaten by the bear 🤷♀️. To be honest, I legit lol‘d at that second one 😆
pickI was so bummed to not finish this in time during #CampLitsy and therefore was thrilled to see it on @monalyisha‘s #AuldLangSpine list; will now have to go back and read the discussion that I missed! I found this very emotionally engaging, and the writing had me vividly picturing characters, setting, and scenes throughout. Have the film rights to this been purchased? 🤔 Would be great on screen.
Historical fiction fans will love this one.
Thanks, @ChaoticMissAdventures

pickIt‘s such an honor to grow gracefully old with your spouse of 70 years. It‘s also impossible that grace would define every aspect of a marriage, a family, a life. This book does a lovely job of honoring an ordinary couple navigating that marriage together.
