I am enjoying this book so much. Simple writing, but beautiful descriptions with oral traditions honored. I don't want to return it to the library.

I must really admire the style of Norse Sagas.

TheBookHippie Happens to me a lot with food and lit books!! 4h

Butterfinger @TheBookHippie yes. The only food mentioned in this book is dried reindeer meat and the occasional stranded whale, which I just realized wouldn't be like fish, but red meat. According to one of the characters. I found out from this challenge that I like the magical realism of some South American classics. 33m

This is my new fav mystery series! Andy is an amazing character and I love his relationships with Gene, Lee and Elsie. The mystery was solid and kept me guessing. The historical backdrop of the LGBTQIA+ community in 1950s San Francisco is so relevant for what going on today. I‘m really looking forward to continuing the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian Love this series too, I think it only gets better. There's a fourth one coming out later this year! 4h

So good. Took me way too long to get into but that was all me and too many freakin‘ mundane things to attend to (like cleaning and j-o-b). Gotta love a book that upon finishing the very last sentence, tears threaten and so I must laugh instead. Pick! Stack it!

Grand so.

“It‘s hope that makes us afraid, and I remind myself that a man should be grateful for his fears, ‘cause it means he has something to lose and to win.”

“Directors without a producer are like a ship without a sail, the medium of wind to endeavors nautical being equivalent to coin in all theatrical,…”

Some really great sentences in this! 🌟 #debut #drama #ToF

Black Sheep | Georgette Heyer

This was SO MUCH FUN. I loved Miles & Abigail—their banter, humor, and romance, as well as the contrast & balance that becomes apparent between these two such well-matched characters. Heyer just gets everything right: Abigail‘s pitch-perfect near-caricature relatives—lovable and infuriating by turns—a surprising but thoroughly appealing male love interest, and comeuppance where it is due. ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) The ending is WAY too abrupt, but also adorable. All the praise for my May #DoubleSpin + 1966 pick for #192025. @TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle 2d

Ruthiella Love your paperback collection! 2d

LeahBergen I liked this one, too! 2d

TheAromaofBooks This is a favorite of mine. One thing I love is how often Heyer writes about slightly older heroines - instead of her being 16 or 17 and yearning for love, she's in her late 20s and happily single. And the way these two hit it off as friends at first just delights me! 2d

Librarybelle Lovely paperback edition! 2d

BarbaraJean @Ruthiella @Librarybelle Thank you! Library book sales have provided so many treasures! 2d

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Yes, I loved that, too! This one could so easily have been about the niece, but Heyer chooses the less-conventional (and far more interesting) heroine instead. And the friends first vibe is my favorite (forever influenced by Anne and Gilbert!) 2d

A Conspiracy in Belgravia | Sherry Thomas

It is a slow read, but I enjoy the quirks of Charlotte and her close friends. It is hard for her to be casual, and her friends still love and accept her. In this story, Lord Bancroft wants to marry her just so she can help with his detective work. He realizes that she is better suited to being single and helping him. I'm truly committed to this series.
