Slow progress 😆 It‘s been enjoyable so far even though the fortunate guy is annoying me to bits

pickI started this book immediately after finishing the show Dept Q - which had me rapt. It was maybe too soon to visit the same storyline again but I really enjoyed the book too. So grim.
pickThis was such a fantastic book and I had no idea it was part of a series until now.
This had some good twists and turns and I loved the setup of the book between two perspectives as well as some letters through out that relied on its current arc and no so much on the series which was great for me as a first time reader.

pickI finished it on the banks of the Kern River after coming through the Sequoia Monument and National Forest. I didn‘t like it as much as The Boy in a Suitcase, which was such a twisty ride. But I loved the window into Roma culture in Hungary, the discrimination and challenges they have long faced. And the window into the immigrant backlash in Scandinavia. Will read the whole series!
It‘s dark out so I‘m using my extra hour today to biggie size my #hyggehour
I‘m on the couch flipping between an ARC, Kamala‘s book, and my book club book. I took tomorrow off to do a college tour with my son so I‘m feeling pretty relaxed.
pickA 5 star mystery for me! Kept me guessing, great characters and backdrop. And a window into the trafficking of Eastern Europeans. Perfect book for traveling shotgun when there is great scenery and then less great scenery…short chapters! On to the next in this 4 book series!

pickA farmer‘s wife living in England begins a relationship with a museum curator in Denmark by way of exchanging letters and emails. I thought this was a charming and thoughtful little tale. It‘s well written and very engaging. I enjoy epistolary type of books and this one fitted the bill exactly. I read this for my local book group where we all chose two of our favourites and then picked one or more of the ones we hadn‘t read. An enjoyable read.
