I really enjoyed this #DayOfTheDead #ThematicCozies book. I am hoping to find the next one on Libby :) --- Growing up, my family celebrates the Day of the Dead. My husband and I have tried to keep this tradition in VT with a little offering we keep in our home, but I really need to find a better area to put it in our home, so I can tend to it properly.

Pic is from a Doggie Church in VT that reminded me of home.

julieclair I have never heard of a doggie church! 🐶🩵 I love how you are keeping up your family traditions in a totally different location. 🫶💝 18h

I‘ve been meaning to post this since my trip last month…

📗 Old Venus (signed) from George R. R. Martin‘s bookstore, Beastly Books

📕 The Painter, set in Santa Fe, found used in op.cit. books

Even though there are only 2 books, they‘re hardcover and they would only fit in my carry-on so I still feel this fits the definition of “haul.” 😅

julieclair A quality haul! 6mo
PaperbackPirate I hope so @julieclair ! 🙌📚 6mo

I keep forgetting to share my November reading wrap up! I haven‘t read 4 books in one month in awhile so yay! But I hope I can top that this month.

DogMomIrene Cool graphic! And you read 30 out of 30 days, which is impressive to me. I can get super moody around reading, so I skip days when what I should do is try a different book. 6mo
PaperbackPirate Thank you @DogMomIrene ! This year I started eating lunch alone to avoid a toxic coworker so I usually get at least a few pages in during my break. 😅 I hope your new strategy helps. 6mo

Part art book/part memoir, this beautiful little book shows us Santa Fe as it was 100 years ago, and laments how it‘s changed in the following 60 years. A lovely little time machine.

An adorable reimagining of Baba Yaga as a witch from Santa Fe. I loved all of the nods to the inspiration, like the roadrunner legs and the prickly pear fence. I'm not sure why the girl looks like she stepped out of Tim Burton's imagination in most scenes. #Retelling #BabaYaga #Witch #PictureBook

Mehso-so

I had high hopes for this, as I LOVED The River. This just didn‘t do it for me, though. The story itself was decent (although what happened with Grant, and Jason at the end, was quite silly), but I just didn‘t connect enough with Jim to care about his running monologue, especially when describing his paintings.
⭐️: 3/5

Reading this delightful book at a heavenly spa in Santa Fe. I‘m reading and listening to the audio version. Warner‘s language is lovely, and the narrator of the audio is excellent.

batsy I keep saying this every chance I get, but I adore this book! 😆 2y
KathyWheeler I loved this book. I listened to it, but I may read the print as well. 2y
AlaMich @batsy @KathyWheeler I also loved The Corner That Held Them, and I think the narrator is the same person. I may have to do that one again. (edited) 2y

Tamra Santa Fe? So jealous! 2y
KathyWheeler @AlaMich The Corner That Held Them is the reason I listened to Lolly Willows. I loved it. 2y
AlaMich @KathyWheeler Have you read any other of STW‘s books? I have not. 2y

Peter Heller's writing is amazing. Descriptive, poetic, and makes me want to leave my coastal home and move to the mountains, and take up fly fishing. Jim is a painter with a violent past. When he sees a man abusing a horse, his violent tendencies return, setting off a cat and mouse game between the good guys and the bad guys. But who is good and who is bad? Jim is not even sure himself. 4 stars 🌟

Jolynne The River too! My next shared audio with hubby is going to be Celine. 2y
MamaGina Celine is excellent too! I need to read this one and the follow up to The River. Such a good writer. 🤓 2y

One of the best books i have ever read. ❤️. A teen coming of age tale out west during WW2. Smart, sarcastic, deadpan humor had me laughing throughout. 5 🌟

AmyG Oooooo stacked. 2y
