I loved this. It was not what I expected, but that may be a good thing. Billy was my favorite, of course, but all the characters had their moments. And the prose was memorable. (Map in the background does not include the Lincoln Highway, but it‘s what I had in the house. 🤷🏻‍♀️) #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

I‘m loving these books right now, listening to one after the other. I‘m currently on volume 7. Highly recommend the audio.

Loved this book, fascinating re-imagining of a real historical event, the abandoning of a young woman on an island off Canada during early French attempts at colonisation.

Apparently her house is for sale!

A beautiful tale of female friendships. I also really appreciated learning more about Iran and the ongoing fight for women‘s rights. There are some cliches in the story, but it was so readable. The audiobook is especially good-highly recommend-so I hear the proper pronunciation of the dialogue. 4.5⭐️
I look forward to discussing this with my RL bookclub!

I love the friendship between Shardlake and Guy, as well as, that between Shardlake and Barak. You see the evolution of these friendships during the course of the series.

The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Vol 6, by Beth Brower (2022)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: Even more journals of a young woman navigating her assortment of handsome and charming men in her whimsical neighbourhood in Victorian London.

Review: I reiterate my claim that these get better with every volume. I appreciated how this one is more intentional about moving the overall plot forward. I‘m excited for what comes next!

Victorian Psycho: A Novel | Virginia Feito

Grim Wolds, England: Winifred Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect governess-she'll dutifully tutor her charges, Drusilla and Andrew, tell them bedtime stories, and only joke about eating children. But long, listless days spent within the estate's dreary confines come with an intimate knowledge of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family-Mr. Pounds can't keep his eyes off Winifred's chest.

Reggie Lol I loved this book so much. That last 30 pages was so bonkers. lol 39m
