Sunday morning reading before a marking sprint. After a couple of disappointments over the last few weeks, I am really enjoying Kidd’s writing style.

Hook Line and Tinker has the best dad jokes.

Even the plastic mermaid went head-first into my bellini. It’s been that kind of week.

I wanted to love this one. I so enjoyed the first book in the series. The second was a big disappointment, and this one is somewhere in between. The aunties’ language-mangling, meddling, bossy schtick feels a bit forced this time.

How is that comfortable?!?!

Muslim Pakistani-American remake of Persuasion. It was so good, I finished it in less than 24 hours and read it mostly chronologically instead of bouncing around like I usually do.
