Thought provoking and, oddly, calming me by calling to our shared non-consumable humanity.

Gripping. If you like John Wick then this is a winner.

Great start for a lazy summer evening.

Second in the series and better than the first. Loved every minute of it!

#scifi #allthebookspodcast

So excited to start this series! She‘s my fav from the books. 😊

#comicbook #geeklove #magicalrealism #urbanfantasy

Interesting and reasonably written, with an protagonist that isn‘t so much whiny but as chronically indecisive, and rather annoyingly expecting certainty from everyone else.

#scifi

New audiobook...the main complaint seems to be that the protagonist is whiny but that isn‘t coming across as strongly in the audio version.

Excellent. Moving and beautiful.

Not really for the home cook...

I loved this book. Warm, loving and honest. She‘s privileged no doubt but extends it in warm spiritual hospitality. I felt like I was sitting at that table with her.

First half is very good but it lost steam about 2/3 of the way through. Meh.

Fantasy and tragedy mix with a sense of place so strong it‘s another character. Have to say I didn‘t love the very flawed protagonist but then you‘re not supposed to.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

New start this weekend. Returning to paper after a stream of audiobooks. Feels good.

#fantasy #booklove

The best book I‘ve read in years, unflinching and gut wrenching. It covers sexual abuse, hope, the terror of love walking in the world, the violence that we transfer to those we love the most and sheer agony of surviving and trying to thrive in a white world that is bent on your destruction. You can pick a word or theme and follow that thread, reread and do it again and again.

3 minutes in. This starts strong!

Finished! Excellent narration as always, and pure Three Pines escapism.

My red cabbage, apple and ginger sauerkraut recipe, loosely based on the Food In Jars website which is my usual go to. I‘m really excited for this Noma book and some new recipes!

I thought dreamed up this book. But it‘s real and has stuck with me for 25ish years. I really liked the combo of feminist commentary and chronicle of the tween books from the 80‘s and I can‘t believe how many of them I read 😂. The angst, the agony!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#nonfiction #ya #feministread

An interesting murder mystery set space with underlying themes of revenge, humanity and the value of a human life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

#scifi #audiobook

I liked the structure - small essays in each language. This book is funny, interesting and informative and I liked dipping in and out instead of reading each essay one after the other.

I love this series. My absolute favourite of the year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great short story collection. Can‘t help but love the sociopath protagonist. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

An interesting and unique book...a lesbian protagonist with Down‘s syndrome who sees ghosts set in an alternative U.S.A struggles past surviving and into freedom and hope. Though it has a lot packed in, it‘s vivid and compelling with and old west feel. I‘ll be thinking about this one for a while.
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

#dystopian #fiction #librarylove #podcastreads

Beautiful illustrations but the text is not for me.

A memoir rather than a self-help book. I admit I‘m not a fan of author narrated books, and this is no exception. She‘s privileged (most of us are) and seems young to me (I‘m middle aged) but despite the generation gap and some differences on values she has an iron will and her constant efforts for excellence made this a really good read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome...loved this book.

Fantastic new series. Great world building and a characters that are fresh and interesting.

Excellent graphic memoir about the struggle with eating disorders, sexual abuse and the sheer persistent struggle to health and freedom.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#graphicmemoir #sexualabuse #comingofage #eatingdisorders

This book is amazing- a horrifying look into the systems, processes and sheer rapacious greed that created the opioid epidemic and what can be done about it. Required reading for anyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#nonfiction #nonfictionlove

Excellent book and narration by K. Holdbrook-Smith.

And done. Interesting premise and setting, and amazing illustrations but the book lost tension as it moved to the last third. There wasn‘t enough risk to really keep my interest and her growing friendships weren‘t given the kind of impact that is realistic for a girl in her situation.

Let‘s see what the kid thinks!

My daughter asked me to pre-read to see if it‘s any good. 😂

May be the first book of our mother-daughter book club. 😊

#yareads #halloweenreads #mdbookclub

A rich intricate world, complex flawed characters and an interesting well paced plot...can‘t wait for the next one!

#fantasy #audiobook

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This would be a three star book for me but I love the way she inserted what would have happened to the characters if different choices were made. I‘m a sucker for the whole ‘sliding door‘ trope so it‘s a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ star read for me.

Paper read this time. I forget what a different experience a paper book is. #papervsaudio

Another fabulous audiobook!

Lovely character development. This book is likeable, funny and poignant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a fantastic read, beautifully written and evocative of both place and the way it feels to be a woman today. Loved it and highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was riveted. The compelling characters and the glimpses into worlds and times that I was totally unfamiliar with are going to stay with me.
