Saturday morning vibes featuring Serene Cat actually being serene.
Hoping to finish this book today.
Sunday. Taking a beat before meeting up with friends to watch Materialists and then eat our body weight in sushi.
Today is a dark day for the country, trying to not spiral.
This is so, so good and the library copy was due back with a couple of people waiting so I caved and just bought a copy, very lucky to have found a used one at my local store!
"You're neither unnatural, nor abominable, nor mad; you're as much a part of what people call nature as anyone else; only you're unexplained as yet--you've not got your niche in creation. But some day that will come, and meanwhile don't shrink from yourself, but face yourself calmly and bravely. Have courage; do the best you can with your burden. But above all be honourable."

Serious consideration going on here by Serene.
Main focus is on the lesbian classic Well of Loneliness, my monthly chunky read.
Then: The Pairing, A Single Man, and my car/bedside Kobo read is the ARC Maggie: or, A Man And A Woman Walk Into A Bar
A lot of what I write for Book Riot is fun list posts. Not so much today. Check it out:

pickNot really in the mood to give an extensive review of this. It was a comforting, gentle, coming of age story. The writing, especially the expression of Annie and Liza‘s romance, was sweet. I wish I read this in high school. I find the cover a bit weird though…a bit too Hallmark movie which doesn‘t quite fit. Maybe that‘s a me problem.
pickA delightful reread for me. I read it first in paperback in the 70s. That book fell apart and this edition was given to me in the 80s. I believe Rita Mae has just turned 80. Amazing woman. I‘ve also, over the years enjoyed her cosy mysteries featuring a cat. Things have changed since she wrote this book but we still have a way to go .
I‘ve read a lot of “my life got derailed and now I‘m going to open a bookstore” novels, but so far this is the only one that looks anything like my experiences working in a bookstore.
