pickWombat likes everything just so - something her neighbors aren't as great at. But Wombat minds her own business. But when difficulties arise in the neighborhood, Wombat puts on her digging overalls and her gardening hat and does her best to help everyone out.
As if anyone needed another reason to love wombats, this is inspired by stories of wombats sharing their burrows (however reluctantly) with other critters during bushfires.
Here are my picks for this month…very excited to get to them both! 😃

pickI honestly don't know how Evie Wyld does it. She writes about messy, complicated women with such humanity. And she delves into the horrible ways people can mistreat eachother, especially men's violence towards women, without ever feeling exploitative. She turns the focus to women's resilience and rage, and crafts an engrossing narrative around it.
Note - there is no real ending here, which I LOVE but I know doesn't work for everyone!

These are my two picks for #readordonate for May! This challenge has pushed me to read book I own! 😊
so-soSomething I‘m realizing about first-person narratives is that I need to enjoy the “company” of the person I‘m going to spend 300-ish pages with. Or they have to at least not annoy me. Unfortunately, Ernest annoyed me.
I appreciated the way Stevenson constructed this—with a section for each family member, revealing who they‘d killed. I liked the setup with the “10 Commandments of Detective Fiction.” Ernest bending over backwards to emphasize ⤵️
pickThis is book 2 in the Aaron Falk series, and even though it took me a little longer to get into than the first book, I really liked it 🙂
Have you ever been forced to go on a team-building work retreat?? Imagine going, getting lost, and losing a co-worker.
Falk and his partner are tasked with finding out what happened to unlikable Alice.
I do plan on reading book 3
pickAn idiosyncratic memoir with much about Flanagan‘s father, WW2, the atomic bomb & invented vignettes about H. G. Wells & the physicists who developed the bomb. It‘s artfully woven together in his usual muscular style. His writing is jaw-droppingly good & he‘s distilled this tapestry of a life history to its essence. Humble, Australian & acutely aware of injustice in Tasmania 1780s through to the war, & how precarious life is, including his own.
