pickI am excited to finally dip into Moss‘s backlist and this story of Ally, who studies to become on of the first female doctors in England, and her cruel and controlling mother made me want to stop reading anything else. I love Moss‘s writing, the beauty and the tension she created had me looking for the sequel at my library before I was even halfway through. #24in2024 #fourfoursin24 #gurneyjourney
pickLizzie Burns was the longtime lover of Frederick Engels. An illiterate Irishwoman, little is know of her, but here McCrea brings her to life. This was a little hard to get into and the language is difficult, just because it‘s quite different from modern American English, but once I got settled in, I really enjoyed it. She‘s a great character and there‘s some good sly humor in this book, though it‘s not as light as the cover suggests.

How does this librarian celebrate #pridemonth🌈 ? By wearing colorful clothes.
Honestly, when I saw this shirt at @kohls , it just reminded me of the #flowerpower dresses that I wore as a little girl in the late sixties. The shirt is big but that‘s ok. It‘s actually designed for men. It just makes me smile.
Regardless of how you feel about this month, please be kind to all for we all fight hard battles.
pickA new assistant editor is starting at The Stranger Times while Hannah takes up a therapy retreat in an attempt to reconcile with her ex-husband. A conspiracy theorist wrongly identified as a columnist for the paper is kidnapped.
Very funny as usual, but unfortunately I didn't remember enough of what had happened in the previous books to always follow what was going on.

This was fun.
Third book in the series. There's to be an attack on the paper. Sadly, Hannah has left The Stranger Times. Banecroft needs to find a new editor. Grace is building a box-fort. Stella wants to become a reporter. Ox and Reggie disagree over the acquisition of wellingtons. Manny needs to man the cue on loon-day. DI Sturgess went grocery shopping. And Simon speaks in tongues.

'Are we sure this is safe?' asked Grace, who was steadying the other side of the ladder.
'We've sent a stoned Rastafarian up a six-foot ladder to try to corral a floating statue,' replied Stella. "This feels like the start of a weird Hallowe'en special of Casualty.'
