A Time for Weeping
I've been avoiding this for a while now, thinking I wouldn't need to take such measures. However, I've come to accept that the only way forward is to be honest with myself.

It's my final #bookreview of 2024, and so obviously, I saved one of my best reads for last!

That’s right—this week, we’re talking about the epic conclusion to the historical fantasy mystery, Where the Library Hides, by Isabel Ibañez.

#musings
WOMS: Where the Library Hides
The book opens with a dedication to the readers who have agonized over the abrupt ending of What the River Knows, and I think more authors should respect a reader's plight because darn right this is dedicated to me! That’s right—this week, we’re talking all about the epic conclusion to the historical fantasy mystery, Where the Library Hides.

This past year is coming to an end, at least on the Jewish calendar, and that means I have been reminiscent, as one does when they assess their lives before the chagim, or holidays.
