Agatha Christie: An Elusive Woman
The title says it all.

This book had a lot to live up to, because I love the movie with Paul Newman. We watch it every year sometime on or after Thanksgiving. Thankfully I loved it. It added depth to the characters in the movie and introduces more that are not in the movie. This is also a husband pick as he read it first. He is currently reading the second book and third one arrived today.
I‘m so glad I finally took the time to read this modern classic about race and class disparities in the American South. Celie is probably one of the kindest characters I have read, and despite all of the horribleness she has witnessed in her life, her positivity and her hope is beautiful to read. #12BooksOf2023 #December
An espresso martini and a good societal drama - Yes, please! One thing I have learned over the past few years is that going to a bar or restaurant by myself to read is absolutely freeing. Coffee shops are a little different...most people go to coffee shops to read.

Growing up in the US, we always left decorations up until January 7th to celebrate "Ukrainian Christmas" in honor of our grandparents and then my dad. This year Ukraine will officially break from the Russian Orthodox calendar. And so, I mark today, December 25th, with memories of those years: an embroidered pillow, a menu from a long-ago special dinner, a new book to read, and hope that next year will bring a #MerryChristmas #December#Dreams

I'll treat this one as a #20in4 - well, more like a #20in9 😇
I'm still on sick leave for the beginning of the week, that's when there are high chances for getting some reading done. At the end of next week I'll be back at work and time for reading will be more scarce. We'll see how it goes...

Started The Cartographers as I was working on a Christmas puzzle.
