Ugh it‘s been a rough few days. Anxiety 😟 Trying to focus on being present.

pickThis book could be triggering to those that struggle to read medical content, including sickness & birth. The entire story takes place over the course of 3 days and reads a lot like Call The Midwife but in a hospital setting. Societal norms not so distant in our history.
pickThis was just beautiful and I finished it in 3 evenings after work. Her writing it just so incredibly good. Sorry, I'm exhausted and others are so much better at eloquent reviews. Just read this!
pickA two-sentence review said, “It‘s gorgeously written. I wish I hadn‘t read it.” I don‘t know if I can improve upon that! Except, I don‘t really wish I‘d skipped it.
The story is devastatingly predictable. I don‘t mean that the book is disappointing, just that the repeated patterns in our past & in our present are. The story is not unique. The characters are alive — until they‘re not (& too soon). I can‘t believe it didn‘t end in the springtime.
Taking full advantage of this Monday holiday.
pickThe last Dublin murder squad series is a twisty story in which a bit part character takes centre stage. Antoinette Conway, a woman of colour, is disliked by her colleagues except for her partner Steve. When they are allocated the murder of a woman in her flat, their boss has an older DS babysit them who appears to steer them off course. Is it Antoinettes's paranoia, or is the case set up for her fall? Great storytelling in a great series.
I finished the last book and the pollen onslaught drove me back inside so I‘m diving back into this one.
