First book for August. Delightful. I‘ve always enjoyed her stories. It was perfect for this stormy weekend. An older woman finding herself and realising she has choices and it‘s never too late. ❤️❤️

My second Anne Tyler this month. I seem to be in the mood for well-written observations on normal life. Micah is a quiet, well-mannered IT expert/apartment block caretaker who maintains routines in his everyday life almost to the point of obsession, until events throw the routines off track. It‘s a gentle, character-driven short novel and I adored it.

TheEllieMo @sherrisilvera I read French Braid last year and thought it was so-so, but I‘ve really enjoyed both this one and Three Days In June, so I think I just can‘t have been in the right frame of mind last year. 6mo

Mehso-so

The first of a series I‘d liked to try after @Bookwormjillk posted about it and I enjoyed another book by Laura Lippmann. I am not sure if I will continue though. So many characters in this book, I couldn‘t keep track. And the plot was, well, okayish I think.

Bookwormjillk It probably helps that I live 45 minutes from Baltimore. 6mo
Susanita Yes, it‘s very Baltimore. The series gets more steady as Tess figures out what the heck she‘s doing as a PI. 6mo

Just started this today. It reminds of an old school Sara Paretsky book. So happy to find a new to me series.

This is a true story of corruption within the Baltimore Police Dept. When reading this, I can‘t say that I was really surprised. But, part of me wondered how a division could get away with so much…the lack of real oversight that was in place was ridiculous!

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 11mo
Amiable FYI—there‘s a docuseries on HBO/MAX based on this book, if you‘re interested! 11mo
JoeMo @Amiable What???? Hell yeah!!! I don‘t have MAX right now, but this will definitely be on my list for when I switch some of my apps around! 11mo
Amiable @JoeMo Yes! It was produced by David Simon, too —so it has the same vibe and flow as “The Wire.” 11mo
