A Behanding in Spokane | Martin McDonagh

so-so

Full of dark and twisted humor, very Martin McDonagh-esque! A killer, after losing his hand on a Spokane railroad track, has been searching for years to recover it. His luck may be turning when he agrees to meet up at a small-town motel with a young couple who aver they have the missing hand. Makes me wish I could‘ve seen the actual play in 2010, starring Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell.

Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine | Alina Bronsky

so-so

This was an odd book. I started it a number of years ago and dnf, but put it on my list to try again for #Germany in the #foodandlit challenge. I am glad i came back. From where I left off, I saw the humor I missed years ago. But the second half found me appalled. But the picture of self denial taken to the absurd is timely. Being NYE and the last prompt of the year, I went to the local bakery for stollen and salztangen - yum. And cinnamon buns.

December reading goals: stayed up late and finished finding me by Viola Davis for irl bookgroup on Thursday. That leaves my final #foodandlit (tagged) book for the year. I have two audio books in progress I need to finish so I can start the new Louise Penny. Gaudy nights is my digital read. It‘s slow going but worth it. It also works for my #192025 challenge.

Librarybelle Looks like some great reading goals! Good luck! 3y

Catsandbooks Excellent end to the year! 3y
