A soft pick as it's slow to start.

How would you say Fowey?

Surprisingly enjoyable. I liked the first in the trilogy well enough, and this was better. Aside from the expected love story, there‘s a plot involving counterfeiting that was pleasantly well-developed with a strong resolution. Add in cameos from the first couple and it was good fun. #52Books23 #secondhandbook

I needed this book! I picked it up in a used bookstore and knew nothing about it. I love Europe so I took a chance. This beautiful story of two men in 1700s France is told in "spare but rich" prose. Jhumpa Lahiri says, "It is history made intimate, and a masterpiece of compression." I read it in one sitting. Highly recommend 5 ? #52bookclub23 #secondhandbook @LauraReads @KarenUK @britt_brooke @CarolynM @Smarkies @LeeRHarry @Bluebird @Read4life

This book is the debut of Danya Kukafka, author of Noted on an Execution- which I loved.
This debut is another excellent atmospheric psychological thriller. Three outsiders in an average Colorado town are all, one way or another, involved in the murder of 15-year old Lucinda, one of the pretty girls in town.
It‘s good! Not as good as her second book, but it‘s definitely a pick. Thank you again, Heather, for sending me this one 🤍

Just… so… good. Love Levy‘s writing…. These are more vignettes than stories, but still loved the heck out them. Perfectly imperfect….

Set in late 1800‘s #Cuba & NYC we‘re introduced to famous faces from the past; William Randolph Hearst & Joseph Pulitzer, who are waged in a battle for being the supreme news source. Each believe the ongoing war in Cuba will be the story that catapults the US into the conflict. When Hearst discovers Evangelina Cisneros a beautiful revolutionary has been #WrongfullyIncarcerated he sets about freeing her. Based on true events - #PromptBonanza

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A collection of magazine pieces and essays about ice climbing, mountaineering, and the people who brave these dangerous adventures. I‘ve been meaning to read this for ages so very much enjoyed dipping in and out of this over the last few weeks. I‘m now a Krakauer completist! He‘s absolutely one of my favorite nonfiction authors.

In case you‘re wondering, this is the book I brought home (from the Street Library). Never seen this edition before! It has all my 3 of my favorite #Horror #Classics in one! And an intro by #StephenKing ?! 😱 Going to reread one of the stories in October for Halloween 🎃
Do you like any of these? Which one would you read?

What a sweet message to the original owner from the grandparents. ❤ I hope Scott was able to read this book to his little brother before he gave it away. 🤗

Time for another new read for me.
I do like Pullman's work, so hoping this is as good as what else I've read! 😊
