Hey! My favorite room in the house is the library; when two bookworms have been together for 40 years. Of course, not one single book in common.

If you read this thread (and do) you will want to read @drlindseyfitz.bsky.social's "The Facemaker", about the visionary surgeon who rebuilt the faces of WWI's injured heroes, and in the process ushered in the modern era of plastic surgery. Buy/order at your local independent bookstore.

Great opportunity to recommend "Sparrow" by James Hynes. "In this unforgettable novel, James Hynes brings the ancient Roman city of Carthago Nova – its markets, temples, taverns of the lowly, and mansions of the rich – to vivid, brutal life."

1/ My day on the blog tour for "The Winter Job" by Antti Tuomainen, who turns a seemingly mundane cross-country furniture delivery into a darkly humorous thriller which was SO much fun to read! @orendabooks.bsky.social @annerandomthings.bsky.social
