What a rollercoaster, albeit a quiet and reflective one with all the ups and downs completely internalized, as Tara lives her own version of Groundhog Day but not because she was a jerk like Bill Murray just because? Will she unravel it? I have the second and I‘m almost afraid to read it #Schrödingerscat

BarbaraBB The series gets better with each book! 1w

#fridayhappyreadinghour TGIF rosé and salt and vinegar chips to toast the end of a long week that ended with an unexpected canada post strike which means my replacement credit card that was mailed yesterday is considered lost and now I have to call all the people and change my automatic charges FFS

Aims42 Ugh, I‘m sorry to hear about your replacement CC fiasco 😖 2w
Jess861 This looks wonderful!

UGH to yet another Canada Post strike - so frustrating. I'm so worried about the libraries inter-loan programs as the post changes over the next years. I don't think strikes are helping the cause though.

mcctrish @Jess861 I think most people were quite supportive with the last one until it went on FOREVER and now here we are less than a year later with another one 🤬 and nothing resolved although they did get more of a raise than teachers did 2w

mcctrish @Aims42 the bank was so helpful when I called - they felt so bad because they had been using couriers because of the last strike and we were all caught unawares - they let me know all of my contract billings so I didn‘t have to look them up and said they‘d prioritize my delivery so I‘d have the new number quickly to use 2w
Aims42 @mcctrish Yay for helpful bank employees!! 😍🥰🤗 2w
Jess861 @mcctrish Right?! I want to be supportive but at the same time I've had enough. Also - times have changed - the postal service cannot make as much money as it used to and they need to see that it just can't operate as it has been - there will be job losses but if we want to keep the post at all there needs to be changes. 2w

After two months of chaos, finally having a chance to catch up on posting.
This book won‘t be for everyone with its frank discussion of the author‘s partner‘s terminal illness and death. She describes the uncomfortable experiences and feelings, including her attraction to another man during this period. Orstavik is confident in going to places many memoirs would not.

MINI REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Translated from Swedish, Strega is a short, gothic novel that takes an unflinching look at the horrors of girlhood. Lyrical, dreamlike writing: This is a vibes over plot book with an ambiguous ending. If that‘s your bag, then this is a great fall read! 🍂🖤🍂

Moving right along!
Preordered Volume III this morning.

Tamra I ordered both 3 & 4 from Blackwells for November delivery, but now I‘m wondering what‘s going to happen if Cockwobble‘s stupid trade war isn‘t resolved re: small packages. 1mo
merelybookish @Tamra Oh! The effects are neverending! 😒I also ordered from Blackwells but am in Canada.( I guess I should order IV.) 1mo
Tamra @merelybookish indeed. Don‘t mess with books! 🤨 1mo
Tamra Our exchange prompted me to check Blackwell‘s site and it looks like *for now* it won‘t be an issue. Btw, thanks for being such terrific neighbor cousins. This too shall pass. (edited) 1mo

#CharacterCharm Day 13: #TimeSpaceTraveler - i think being stuck in just one particular day in time qualifies. Still don‘t know how i feel about this little book. Qualifies too for #ReadTheWorld2025 - Denmark - translated from Danish.

charl08 I like your cover more than mine! (And I don't know what I think about it either!) 2mo
Eggs Great pairing! 2mo
