When I think of pastels I think of baking & especially cupcakes with #Pastel icing & sprinkles. Here‘s some related covers from my stacks. 🧁💛
Tough to get into but got better as it went on. The second half made up for the first. Exploring how relationships grow with time and change is relatable.
2 days ago my backyard was covered in 6in" of snow; today outdoor reading--gotta love Colorado! ?

I have read all of Lynda Cohen Loigman‘s books and have loved every single one of them. This story is told in 2 time frames. It‘s about a young woman who learns that her great aunt makes elixirs that help people get the help they may need whether it is physical or emotional. Then we see her as an older woman who meets her long ago love at her retirement home. The story tells how her life led to this moment & how he left her all those years ago.
Another book read for #FoodandLit Ireland. I like it. A widow finds out her husband was not what he said he was, and she and her daughter end up in a small village in a family cottage. A romance and finding of self in this book. #ISpyBingoMarch #Read2025, and there is a second book which I'll have to read #SeriesLove24 @Catsandbooks @Texreader @TheAromaofBooks @DieAReader @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
Some quite good books outnumbered 2 to 1 some somewhat meh books. That‘s okay, sometimes an average read reminds me what I like to read. Tagged my favorite

Marie Benedict is an auto-buy author for me. This one wasn't my favorite of hers, but I think it would hit it out of the park for readers of mysteries like Agatha Christie, who is one of the characters in this book. I like how it is based on a real cold case. The feminist angles appeal to me as much as the treatment of women as disposable angers me.
