This was a short collection of subtly interconnected stories set in and around a haunted hotel. It's more spooky than scary, which is what I like. Not my favorite Daisy Johnson, but still good!

So appropriate this last day of April reading about how precious milk is in #Rwanda for #foodandlit. For example, from the BBC: “Unique to Rwanda, milk bars reflect a little-known truth about how intrinsic cows and milk are to Rwandan culture.” I‘ve truly discovered that in this month‘s books. @Catsandbooks

#Read2025

This week work is totally kicking my butt so I‘m behind on reviews, book clubs, posting—all the things.😵‍💫

Posting a quick review for this book, my third #Roll100 pick of April (#24 Any short stories or essays). I have been meaning to read this since it came out & overall I really enjoyed it. The stories explore the experiences of Native Hawaiian & mixed race women in Hawaii & are a mix of speculative fiction, horror, magical ⬇️

DebinHawaii …realism & folklore. Some are weirder than others, some I liked more than others but I appreciated the sense of place in all of them. I think having lived in Honolulu for 24 years helped my enjoyment—so a pick for me. 2h

Still can't believe I'm actually in Scotland, but I told my husband the one thing I wanted to do for me in Fort William was visit The Highland Bookshop. I got some JD Kirk prints and a copy of Bloody Scotland.

michellelav I also got Bloody Scotland when I was in the country last May! 😁 5h

Approaches to grief: 1) screaming at trees, 2) leaving voicemails for the dead. Slim volume, sparse and deadpan. Solid trans. from the Dutch by Jozef van der Voort. 2020

9 “One guy I spoke to suggested I get some therapy. What kind? I asked. I didn‘t dare tell him I‘d already tried just about everything and my last therapist and I had both given up in the end.”

11 “I had no time at all for a lot of things that happened all the time.”

Absolutely loved! I always appreciate a collection of stories. I flew through this book so fast and didn‘t want it to end.

Here we go again. Headed to Kona today, the first of 3 day trips this week. I should finish the tagged book in transit.
The airport lounge is hopping this early morning. I think it‘s a Monday thing.
