I enjoyed this curiosity, found it wonderfully done, found the writing, which focuses so much on the sound, always interesting and terrific, with its own rhythm and life. And I say this even I didn't really get it. (I missed a lot, as I discovered afterwards reading online reviews) This maybe should have won the Booker (and I loved the winner, Prophet Song)

This was a great follow up to The Maid. The MC, Molly, blossoms as her self-confidence increases. Juan is away to visit family and Molly is on her own planning and delivering impeccable service at a special reception. The event is marred, when the guest of honor drops dead. Molly‘s attention to details reveals the guest‘s darkest secrets and a killer. It‘s a 4/5 ⭐️ pick for this celebration of family, friends and understanding our differences.

Loved this cold, gothic historical fiction novel set in Newfoundland. The novel tracres the war between siblings in a small coastal village. Great on audio. 4 🌟

I love the voice of Enid, a neurodivergent lesbian obsessed with true crime podcasts. She struggles with anxiety and phobias. She worries about her mother‘s mental health issues and checks in on her often. Enid has a huge heart and a wry sense of humour and she could really use some psychotherapy. A funny, touching novel. #LGBTQ #CanadianAuthor

LiteraryHoarderPenny Ok off to look this one up! 2w
Lindy @LiteraryHoarderPenny It‘s very enjoyable. I was going to say that it‘s unlikely to be chosen for the Giller list, but it‘s comparable to one that was, so what do I know? I‘m referring to 2w
LiteraryHoarderPenny @Lindy it‘s impossible to know how the judges are going to choose their lists!! 🤪😜 2w

Two outcasts try to keep a low profile at their huge high school in Nova Scotia; they‘ve each had enough unwanted social media attention, for different traumatic reasons. They share an interest in music, finding the stairwells where reverb enriches voice and strings, and they start to heal. Gripping, heartbreaking and beautiful. #CanadianAuthor
