Through the remains of the front window, I can see Peacoat Man stumble down the road, Sawyer by his side. When he sees my shadow in the window, he smiles. I smile back.

pickExactly what I needed. I'm still surprised how much I enjoy those queer romances. The story isn't surprising, it follows the known paths, but is still very entertaining and got me hooked from the start. I loved that even though set in a gym, it doesn't reproduce unhealthy body standards or bodyshaming. Kudos for that.
From a bubble of privilege, she extolled idleness. I think one must be idle in order to become oneself, she wrote. 'If you have a profession you become part of that profession. With work you become a function. With idleness you become who you are.'
pickA mouth-watering and twisty mystery! The no-nonsense protagonist is Sagarine, a passionate chef whose love of food permeates most of the book's pages, when she isn't lamenting her attraction to a gorgeous Russian gangster for whom she finds herself working after the head chef of the restaurant where she works is found murdered. Fast-paced and compelling! I found Sagarine's truly terrible life decisions believable and the twists very well done.
I tried… can‘t do it. I‘m a huge Disney fan, but I‘m halfway through and not connecting with either main character. Plus, there are so! Many! Exclamation! Points! I get that the girls are excited, but it‘s a bit too much. Too bad, because it‘s a beautiful cover…

pickThis slow-paced novel is set mostly in the Ohio Appalachian Mountains. Growing up literally dirt poor and basically abandoned by her parents, Jodi grows up with her grandmother on Bethlehem Mountain. Jodi gets involved with a woman & makes some tragic decisions. Life gives her another chance, but will Jodi fall back into old habits? 4/5⭐️
so-soI did not realize that this was a graphic novel until I looked it up after listening to the audiobook That certainly explains why the audiobook was so short. It was also very different hearing a graphic novel as an audiobook compared to other audiobooks. I did find it enjoyable, but probably would have rather enjoyed it more as the graphic novel.
