#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished this one on the plane yesterday for #ThematicCozies September #Books This bookish cozy had been in my TBR for ages & I love the author‘s gardening & bird-related series, so it‘s no wonder I enjoyed this one. Set in Bath, the MC, Haley, curates a library foundation dedicated to the Golden Age of Mysteries even though her literary preferences & studies were not about mysteries. When the leader of a group of ⬇️

DebinHawaii … Agatha Christie fan fiction writers turns up dead in the library room, she‘s on the case to solve it. I liked Hayley (divorced mom with a college-age daughter) & found the mystery pretty good (it kept me guessing) & all the references to mysteries & other books are fun. I‘ll read the next book. Also, the foundation‘s tortie cat named Bunter is adorable.🐈💛 Thanks to my #AuthorAMonth reading of Dorthy L Sayers, I knew the name.😉 (edited) 2d

Coincidentally on 4 September we went on a 'behind the scenes' library tour

MrsMalaprop Such a stunning library. Will have to visit when we are in Melbourne next month. We did a tour there. It was free and about the history of the library and books. Is that different to the tour you did? 2w
Teresereading Yes its a different tour. 2w
Eggs Great photo/architecture 👌🏼 2w

#Falling Day 4: #LibraryFun in this ode to libraries by Nikki Giovanni. The Afterword adds another layer of complexity to the narrative as Nikki Giovanni paid tribute to Mrs. Long, the very first librarian who made sure to nourish her young poet‘s soul with delicious words – during the time of segregation.

The story of Belle de Costa Green, the white passing African American personal librarian to JP Morgan, a collector of rare manuscripts & art, & the most well paid woman of her time.

A fascinating book of a woman I had never heard about. The tension in her story as she hides her background, the love she has for the rare books she collects was fantastic. But the last 1/2 spent way too much time on her love life, I wanted more of her work.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

We have had more rain in the last few days than I got in my two weeks in England. I‘m a little miffed. 😂

But at least that means it‘s chocolate chip cookie weather. #AudioBaking

This could have been half as long as it was. Figured out the mysteries/twists fairly early on. Honestly it wasn‘t worth the effort of finding out how it played out.
This could have been a really good book however the author just tried to have too much going on.
Don‘t recommend

Such a nice summer of reading fun books. Now I‘m back to textbooks, and in the wee hours, too. 😊
