Speed reader and ready to give unsolicited book suggestions always. The library is my happy place but as long as I have a book in hand anywhere will do.

#EWGC THE FOURSOME is the most unusual marriage situation in history involving a pair of sisters who marry Siamese twins. No privacy, what society feels is a mixed marriage and constant togetherness is quite the scandal for these two sisters. Really interesting.

#EWGC THE ENDING WRITES ITSELF is a classic murder mystery served with a dash of satire. Authors vie for a big payout if they can finish a dead man's manuscript but only if they can stay alive to collect. Fun whodunnit with lots of the expected twists. @librarylovefest.bsky.social

#EWGC I am really enjoying this other side of the poor mean Cinderella stepmom in LADY TREMAINE. After all, a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do to pay for the castle and find her girls a castle of their own. A more realistic version & well written historical fiction. @macmillanlib.bsky.social
