I don‘t have time to participate in the readathon this weekend 😒, but I got some bookish mail to cheer me up. The tagged book, a GoodReads win and a treat from @Liberty !

Gave my dad this book for Christmas. This is how it looks now. (This is how all his French books look.)

Simona 😳 I admire readers who can do that to the books ... I can't, but I always like to read others people notes. 7y

I really enjoyed this book. Great story, great - and simple, in French translation - writing, great building of suspense. There's nothing flashy in this story, it's all very nice and quiet, but you know from the very beginning that something horrible will happen, and you just have to wait and see what it is.

Viji Your cat looks just like mine! Boy or girl? 7y
tricours @Viji It's a Conan 😎The neighbor also has one, which I actually mistook for my cat this morning. 7y
Viji Mine is Jet, my daughter has her brother Creature and her mother in law has Necco, all from the same litter, all black. 7y

This is currently very fitting for my mood.

Simona I don't understand a single word but I believe you. 🤔 8y
tricours @Simona it's an eight year old girl plotting murder! 8y
Suzze I always think because my grandparents were French Canadian that I should somehow be able to understand French. Wish it worked that way. 😁 8y
tricours @Suzze unfortunately it requires a bit of work too 😂 8y

Ahhh read+drink or knit+drink?? Decisions! If only my current audiobook weren't shit I'd probably knit, but since it is, Koike wins. (And that's gin, lime juice and agave syrup.) 🍸

clconn17 I knit also! That's always my question on a free evening - to knit or to read? 8y
PlannerGirlBookClub Audio book, knit and drink! 8y

Second French book, or rather, book *in* French. It seems very good so far! And a very intrusive cat. #petsoflitsy #catsoflitsy

This result from my Litsying and eBaying the other day just arrived 🤗 I'm gonna save it for November, which will be ALL FRENCH month (which will make the audio part tricky... any tips for finding French audio books, other than on Audible?)

BookishFeminist I don't have any tips but if you find any let me know. I would love some. 8y
