I #read #mystery, #LiteraryFiction, #Bibliography (of both animals and people!), #History, #Psychology, #Pedagogy, #SciFi, #thriller, anything about #dogs, #feminist #fiction and #nonfiction, and am currently trying to expand my too-white horizons with #BlackWomen authors and #Indigenous, #NativeAmerican #AmericanIndian authors. You may know me as @PshrinkEmeritus or @Virginia_Wood_ over on the bird site or as @LowlyAdjunct@mastodon.social. I have been a fiend for reading since I was a little kid and am never, ever without a book ready to hand. . . or multiple, teetering TBR files lol

I read to learn and to escape--mostly the former by day, the latter in bed. It's not a good day if I haven't had time to read!

On a more serious level, am working my way through the #Tipitaka (the #PaliCanon) verse by verse, and have a mess of books on #Buddhism in my TBR pile.

Thursday Murder Club Book 3 (2022, Diversified Publishing)

Excellent as always!

4 stars

Content warning aging characters

I did not read the large print version, pictured here--I picked this one to link to because the cover is correct and only saw the badge after I'd started writing (obviously I need large print lol?). I read on Kindle so I can make it as big as I like without having to carry around a heavy book.

But I digress.

This one is as delightful as the first two, and I hate like heck that it will be September of '23 before we get another. As a 70-year-old woman, I love reading about mature characters with active minds and interesting lives. We are so often stereotyped, invisible, or--worse--actively dying in popular fiction. It's a bit sad, though, so I wouldn't advise reading it if your head is not in a good place on the whole subject of aging.
