Welcome to Litsy!

I was surprised by this. I thought it would be Italy or France.

Wine and books. Hmm. I like the social aspects of this idea. A place to hang out, read and 🍷. My brain goes straight to spilling the wine. https://youtu.be/mBYn_l8Ik5A?si=33ZVgruFxAqYVHGs

This was very interesting to learn about the world of wine and the job of sommeliers.

Enjoy!

Also, I splurged and bought this hardcover special edition because LOOK at the gorgeous endpaper art!! 😍🌊😍

I finished this book ages ago but haven't been able to find words to review it. I was so looking forward to it and it did not disappoint! I devoured the audiobook and have been rereading the print book here and there when I miss the characters. Just such a decadent story with lust & pining, wanderlust & cuisine, and a great exploration of sexuality & gender. I adore these two bisexual disasters 💖

I loved The Blackhouse trilogy, so this was shockingly a disappointment. IMO Enzo is a sub par John Rebus… so read Ian Rankin instead.

Some thoughts:

1) Enzo is kind of… skeezy
2) wow, a character with the worst daddy issues I‘ve ever seen…
3) I think everyone was sleeping with everyone?? Or trying… see 1 … and 2.
4) oh yeah… murders happened, which obviously got overshadowed by the annoying stuff above.

Got out to support a brand new Black Woman owned bookstore in town! Grand Gestures in downtown PDX is a romance books store and their grand opening today has been a roaring success! There was a line out the door from before opening! Wishing Katherine the very best luck!

#day1 of my October Art challenge.

The word is Gouleyant (like a light, sweet and flavourful wine).

As I am very underprepared for this, I have taken heavy inspiration from the internet for this one. Mea culpa.
