Not much reading this week. Finished Bloody January & Two Bare Arms. The rest I have read required or small portions of each book. Feel scattered.

Early morning coffee, a maple donut & always a book. Emmy approves.
In my bed with Poe & Em, reading tagged book, & eating this heavenly Black Cherry Chip ice cream.🛌🐈🐈🍨 #75soft
panNikita Lalwani‘s literary novel about prisons, personal morality and the manipulative techniques of documentary film-makers has some interesting ideas but hinges on a main character who is simply too naive and weak to be believable or one who I could empathise with. At the same time, I was uncomfortable with how two-dimensional the Indian characters all are - including Nandini - while the open ending felt like a tacked on cop-out.
#booksandcoffee Reading this book is like being inside a sensory kaleidoscope. 😀 Happy Friday!

Each one is better than the last. I appreciate learning the culture of Zoroastrians. There is so much I don't know.
pickAnother great mystery set in pre-independent India. Another great learning experience.

pickOof. This is a tough one… all about how personal ambition can lead people to do the wrong thing for someone else; how easy it is to push someone down for your own gain. It‘s a powerful debut, maybe not quite as strong in the second act… but lots of promise. Looking forward to book group - both of my library groups are reading this one this year!
pickThis was a surprisingly enjoyable read. It had me on the edge of my seat. It had so much romance and adventure. I couldn‘t put it down. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickThe view from my deck.
This book was so good! I never wanted to put it down. I wouldn‘t even have minded if it were longer. I‘m definitely going to read Verghese‘s other book, Cutting for Stone.
Each time there was a character shift I wanted to protest because I didn‘t want to leave the point of view I was in. But within paragraphs I‘d be immersed in the next bit.
What a remarkable storyteller.
