Centique
Things in Jars | Jess Kidd

Pickpick

Into the foggy streets of Victorian London strides Bridie Devine, a highly competent female private investigator, more than a little experienced with examining dead bodies since she spent her early orphan years travelling with a resurrection man. If that sounds like your thing, let me add in a helpful ghost and a possible mythical water creature. Kidd is an excellent writer - setting and character are fully developed. A joy to read (but TW below)

Centique TW for sexual assault. Its over in one paragraph but happens without warning in the lead up. 55m

I'm kicking myself for how long this was on my TBR and I just got to reading it!
I was able to read this fairly uninterrupted at work and I was hooked within the first chapter and just enjoyed the brisk pacing, characters and world building that pulled me and was a great read as I turned page after page.

I just placed a hold for the next book at the library! 😁

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

It started off a little slow, but the first volume of “Fruits Basket” was interesting as it introduced each of the characters (and their related zodiac) and the story itself was surprisingly heartwarming. I plan on reading the next volume soon!

This book is so chaotic! The Vulcan statue with two of my favorite replicas of it. The striped one is in Vulcan Park, while other is in the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. #audiowalk

April‘s selection for my kids‘ fantasy book club at the library. It was my favorite when I was little, so I was eager to see how it would be received by today‘s generation, 30 years later. It dawned a gorgeous, sunny day (after a month full of rain), so I had only one attendee. Lucky for me, Maeve is my (secret) favorite! She LOVED the book, which was validating. If I‘m being honest, much of my taste today can be traced back exactly this far.👇🏻

monalyisha 1/1: A portal fantasy featuring a young girl who has a close relationship with her grandmother, and who seeks refuge inside a moody old church? It‘s *basically* my literary origin story. 😅 6h
CSeydel That‘s so cool! I remember my son reading this one, years ago. 5h
