A very blue library haul. I cannot for the life of me remember who or what had me request the tagged book! But I guess we will see how it goes.
Everyone seems to hate Extinction of Irena Rey so I thought I would give it a try 😂 I feel I enjoyed her last book more than others and I love to be a contrarian
I read about Vanishing Treasures in my research for possible Women's Prize nonfiction books. Not sure if essays count there

Brooklyn botanic garden does a Lightscape winter walk at night for a couple months every year. I love going and getting some hot chocolate (with baileys!) and wandering the exhibits.
I‘m a member and like doing walks around there any season tbh, it‘s so close to my apartment.

This is a short, modern retelling of Macbeth from the point of view of Lady Macbeth or Gruoch. I loved Grouch‘s relationships with her women; they are her heart and strength as much as Macbeth. Queen Macbeth is the 5th in the Darkland Tales series in which various Scottish writers reimagine events from Scotland‘s past in new ways.
Just sitting back and starting this one. The MC ( or what I think might be the main c ) is a serious over-thinker… interesting psychological profile 🤞🏻set in France , Saint-Louis. Someone is going to disappear from mc‘s local restaurant .. I think I could love this.
I definitely recommend revisiting Shakespeare‘s Macbeth before reading this novella or at least have a good understanding of it. McDermid‘s retelling is short but does not lack substance. I love when we get a more fleshed out character (particularly the women) in a retelling of a classic. Added bonus here for the more historically accurate story as well.

I love discovering new words. This is a new one to me.
I just want to stay here all day in my comfy chair with my comfy sweater and get lost in this book ... oh well, a few minutes will have to do
