I read this book last year and remember feeling annoyed that I didn‘t predict the ending. I‘m giving it a reread, this time on audio, to see how it feels now that I understand where it‘s going.
This is the longest book I‘ve read on Serial Reader. 150 episodes means I started somewhere in April. Phew!
Up next. Went with the audio book on this one just to listen to Meryl Streep‘s narration.
Up next. Just released in paperback, I decided to pull the hard copy from the bottom of my tbr pile.
“All of them?”

I‘m stepping back into the world of Inspector Gamache and Three Pines.
Curtis McCoy was early for his ten o‘clock meeting so he carried his coffee to a table by the window, where he could feel the watery April sun.

I liked the murder in the midst of a reality baking show story, but something about the ending just didn‘t work for me.

I haven‘t read an Oprah pick in ages, but this multi generational saga seems to be just what I was in the mood for. His writing is beautiful and I don‘t want it to end.
I think Vera Wong is my new spirit animal.
You‘ve heard of her, I say - a challenge, an assurance.

I picked this one up thinking it was the story of her escape from North Korea, not realizing her earlier book tells that story.
What did I just read? Didn‘t predict that ending.
My new favorite “inspirational” read. So cute.

My new plan is to opt for the audiobook whenever Julia Whelan narrates.

Decided to finally give this one a try, only to discover two different copies in my tbr pile!
I found a new favorite plant book (not the tagged one). Snake plants are Scorpio, in case you were wondering.
Feels like the perfect weather to stay home and read.

“My mother always said it‘s common as pigs tracks to go around with a run in your stocking,” Helen says, eyeing Billie‘s ripped hosiery critically.
I‘ve never heard this expression, but it makes a good #firstlinefriday !

Before Mazer invented himself as Mazer, he was Samson Mazer, and before he was Samson Mazer, he was Samson Masur- a change of two letters that transformed him from a nice, ostensibly Jewish boy to a Professional Builder of Worlds - and for most of his youth, he was Sam, S.A.M. on the hall of fame of his grandfather‘s Donkey Kong machine, but mainly Sam.
That‘s one long #firstlinefriday !
I haven‘t read this author in years, but so many book friends have loved this one that I moved it to the top of my tbr.

Picked this one up on a whim and loving the story so far.

Decided to finally finish the last two short stories from my holiday read.
So close! I resisted the temptation to count a currently reading book as completed and will just try again in 2023.
Happy New Year!
@CBee Thank you so much for this awesome #jolabokaflodswap ! I was late opening it, but I‘ve still managed to eat half the candy. The book looks great, can‘t wait to get started. Happy holidays!
And thanks @MaleficentBookDragon for coordinating this swap.
@CBee It‘s here! Thanks! Sorry for the delayed post, just got back home.

@quietjenn Wow! Thanks so much for this awesome #hauntedhollowswap I‘m excited for all the books and don‘t know where to start. Love the bookmarks, candles and especially the string lights. I‘m going to hang them up for tomorrow. The pencils, case, keychain and everything is perfect. And the snacks, yum! Happy Halloween to you!

Thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for this wonderful #allhallowsreadswap package! It‘s perfect! Can‘t wait to try the tea and stuff myself full of candy corn. I‘ve had my eye on both books and they look perfect for this season.
And thanks so much for hosting this fun swap.

Opened the front door and found my #allhallowsreadswap wedged inside.
Thanks!! @MaleficentBookDragon
After some “technical difficulties” with the post office, my #allhallowsreadswap is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Maybe they didn‘t like the bat packaging?
