panI should probably have stopped early on; the cops are surprised that the headless corpse seems to be a man and thus consider it worth investigating, because « normally » they‘d see women being dismembered, and nine times out of ten said woman would be a prostitute. Like maybe they should be trying to stop whoever‘s killing women? Ugh.
The tagged is this month‘s read for the LGBTQ+ book club I am a part of. The meeting is today and I‘m only about 1/3 of the way through. It is a slough. A lot of prior knowledge is assumed. It could be made so much better with a “cast” list. I‘m digging in while I wait for my partner‘s dissertation defense. We‘ll see how far I get. At least it‘s taking all my focus and making me a bit less anxious as a result.
pickThe effort to keep a public library open, to honor its patrons (all of them), for the collection to not be controlled by government or politics - so interesting. Odile‘s WWII story here was compelling. She then lived her next 40+ years in a tiny area in NE Montana until discussing her experiences - I‘m sure that happens to so many people who‘ve had harrowing experiences. But I can‘t imagine my headspace if I had to lock my life away.
Back to Zola (book 13/20). I expect to be emotionally bruised 😅

pickNot my favorite in the series…but still a solid beach read. Reacher heads overseas to try and catch a sniper.
I think I'm usually pretty good at picking out books I'll like, but the last few have been so-so to awful, so I'm falling back on the trustworthy Simenon to get me back on track. Cider, snacks and a compilation of cover versions of classic rock, pop and soul done by New Wave acts of the late 70s to mid 80s. Feeling settled and content ☺️
“It‘s easy to recognize the surface of beauty. To see it with your two eyes. But the challenge to the artist is conveying the many layers underneath.”
