I don‘t remember a barn in the story, but it sure looks like one or two on the cover!

What I Know about You | ric Chacour

It‘s National Book Week in the Netherlands, a yearly celebration of books for a whole week, since 1930. There are bookish events all over the country and when you buy a book you receive a free novella that is written for this week by a literary author.
My buys were French author Eric Chacour‘s debut about a gay doctor in Cairo, and the new book by Annet Schaap, a children‘s author who excels in Dutch language and is read by kids and adults alike.

charl08 Looks wonderful, hope they are good reads. 2d
Leoslittlebooklife @charl08 Thank you! The novella is the one I have read by now and I liked it. 2d

Tarek follows the path laid out for him becoming a doctor, taking over his father‘s practice, and getting married. When Ali asks Tarek to examine his sick mother everything expected of Tarek loses importance. His life shifts as his decisions impact him and his relationships. Second person narration is not my favorite but I couldn‘t help but care about Tarek and those orbiting him.

This resolved everything from the last book, which I was happy about, but I didn‘t expect to be so absolutely blown away - this is my favorite of the series thus far. I love Gamache, but I also like that despite his kindness, his brilliance, he is human and makes mistakes. It showed a whole different side of him and now I love him even more ♥️ #readyourkindle

The 2nd in the Gamache series, still set in the small village of Three Pines in very cold winter (I would not last in Quebec).This one kills off a horrible person & introduces some new characters. More info is given about an ongoing plot to ruin Gamache‘s job, & I‘m interested to see how the plan continues. Only problem I had with this one is fat-phobic descriptions of a teen. Her mom verbally abused (TW) her, but there‘s other descriptions, too.

willaful yes, the fatphobic language in this was a LOT. 2mo

My first Penny book. Set in Quebec, making the the story more interesting to me because I can armchair travel. Armand Gamache he has to investigate an older woman‘s murder in a small village. Interesting characters in the village, one trainee detective who you can love to hate, & a good mystery with a satisfying ending.
