Not a quote from Napoleon as far as I can tell, but still good. #quotations #onlymurdersinthebuilding

Here's me reading Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet in a cafe, and then wanting to read it in the airport at Waskaganish but I did my paperwork instead. Beautiful book. Glad the movie trailer inspired me to finally pick it up. #booksky #literaryfiction #Shakespeare

I loved Vigga so much 🙈 and I'm going to miss Brother Diaz who had a wonderful character arc and threw down like a boss librarian. Looking forward to my next @joeabercrombie.com read! #booksky #sff #fantasynovel #funnyfantasy #adventurenovel

Starting the new semester slowed down my reading, but I'm back with a 5 ⭐ ear-read! I loved the characters and the setting, and will definitely try his other books. Also Rhind-Tutt is a great reader. #devilandthedarkwater #stuartturton #mysterybook #historicalmystery #booksky

I LOVE A Song of Ice and Fire, but I forgot that Feast for Crows is where he really went overboard with the Inconsequential Background Details. But listening to the audio is easy going so... no complaints. #grrm #asoiaf #feastforcrows #gameofthrones

Read my second Hawthorne & Horowitz. Solid story and funny. I love the self deprecating narration, similar to The Princess Bride. @anthonyhorowitz.com

Teulé's description of the battle is hilarious--I read that part almost in one sitting. 😄 #agincourt #henryv #100yearswar #medieval #humorfiction #comedyfiction #frenchbooks

"The map of the river is not the river itself." (Guy Vanderhaeghe) Englishman's Boy in ebook, Storm of Swords on audio, cat reading with me on the balcon. 5 stars for both books, and for the cat too. #CanLit #CanadianLit #GRRM #asoiaf #audiobook #booksky #recommendedbook

Highly recommend Book of Eve (my vacay read) if you like literary books. Realistic portrayal of the complex feelings of an older woman leaving her marriage in the 1970s. An easy read but deep. Perfect for book clubs. #MontrealAuthor #booksky #canadianauthor #divorce #bookclub

Frankly if the book hasn’t been banned, NoodlesTheStuffie isn’t interested. (Cute photo op at the Old Québec Pantoute bookstore, a must stop when we’re in town ). @pantoute.bsky.social #concourspantoute

Rainy day, perfect for finishing megwolitzer.bsky.social 's The Wife. Very engaging book, though I would have liked more time spent on the impact of the secret. Like, how did they feel gaslighting that poor son?? Great book. Read it with my eyeballs and everything. #eyeballreading #booksky

Just finished book 1 of @caimhmc.bsky.social's other series. How is this just as funny as the Bunny books?? (And Brendan McDonald's narration is excellent.) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky #IrishWriters #HumourWriting

Finishing @jasperfforde.bsky.social ’s Red Side Story on my balcon. Great start to my vacay. Such a creative world packed full of witty details, lovable characters, & high stakes. Can’t wait for book 3 which I’M SURE won’t take 15 years. 👀 #sffsky #booksky

Kōtarō Isaka is the literary equivalent of a Guy Ritchie movie. Fully enjoyed the mixture of violence and humour in Bullet Train. #booksky #kotaroisaka

“We’re custodians of the language. Just for a little while.” Almost finished this wonderful book. Dench's observations on the plays are by turns funny and moving. / Reading in Ouje-Bougoumou #booksky #judidench #shakespeare #eeyouistchee #cree #manwhopaystherent

Sisters attempting connection against an apocalyptic setting of slowly crumbling world. What a beautiful book! Check out this vair relevant quote! #juliaarmfield #booksky
Wish I'd read it in book form cause I miss details in audio. But I'm a slow reader, so I do what I gotta do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Props to a @newyorker.com headline for finally inspiring me to read Convenience Store Woman. Unexpected protagonist, couldn't predict where it was going, bonkers. Also very true to life working in retail.

I loved @sarahbrooks.bsky.social 's Cautious Traveller's book! I wonder where I heard about it. 🤔 A Christie-like train ride through a fantasy Chernobyl. I look forward to her next book.
