I got Olivia Dade’s At First Spite at the library this week! We were at Lego club day but my 5 yo isn’t as invested as my 7 yo so we were browsing books for a long time. Reading in hotels is amazing, I still remember the year it poured rain on Saturday when we were in a hotel for our anniversary and I read for like 4 hours while my husband watched the Panthers game before it cleared out when we went to dinner.
Congratulations on your half marathon 🏅! Having lots of time to read sounds blissful, so restorative. Make me a Mixtage and Vintage Contemporaries both sound fab, will check them out.
My family did a family book club with the new Richard Osman. All of our library holds for the book came in at once, so my parents and I all read it over a long weekend and got together one morning to discuss it. We loved the book, though they might go back and explore the audio as they adore the narrator, Nicola Walker, in all of her acting roles.
Yes exactly! I love that it’s from the perspective of a crime scene photographer. I’ve read many thrillers and never once have I read one that was from the perspective of the photographer - brilliant!
I almost quit Birnam Wood a couple times at the beginning but once I got in the groove (maybe 15-20% in) I was really hooked. I expected one thing but got something totally different...and I LOVED it!
This sounds like an incredible weekend! I've been to Milwaukee a few times but have not yet been to this bookstore - I'll definitely seek it out next time I'm there. Congratulations on your race!

I loved At First Spite! Olivia Dade writes the most delightful, richly developed characters.
I loved the audiobook We Solve Murders. 🩷
What a weekend! Congratulations on your half, incredible!!
A half marathon! You're amazing. Make me a Mixtape sounds up my alley.

I love this so much! I definitely need to find more books that she narrates
YAY! You read Ramona Emerson too!!! That's so cool!
Her first book was stunning! Disturbing too, but so well done and compelling. Excited for this one!

Yay! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on Birnam Wood when you get to it 😊

Ooooh, this is good to know! I'll definitely push through the beginning if it's rough for me!

Thank you, Christi! And definitely do go to Boswell next time you are in the area!
