This month on the #BowieBookClub we read ‘Writers at Work: The First Series,’ a compendium of interviews with writers that proves to be as dazzling as a round of George Plimpton's Video Falconry, which we discussed along with elaborate CIA fronts and the burning question: writing while sitting or laying down, which is better? Tea or coffee? #authorinterview#craft#read@bookstodon
🍂🍁Happy #FirstDayofFall! 🍁🍂 To get in the fall feeling, I created a Spotify playlist that are filled with songs that not only give #FallVibes but also go great with books that you piled up for #FallReading!
Five stars: Witch Upon a Star by Angela M. Sanders and Francesca Townes (Narrator) (2023) is the fourth book in the Witch Way Librarian mystery series. Josie's sister, Jean, is visiting Wilfred. She's here to take part in a Life Coach workshop but Josie (and her mother) have reservations about this workshop. And then the bodies star appearing: one in the cafe and one at the conference center.
Finished Sea Witch by Sarah Henning today and enjoyed it. It made my heart skip a beat a couple of times. It is a little mermaid retelling told from the perspective of who we know as Ursula before she became Ursula. It was a fun book.

The latest #story is about Nikka and Jeremy. Nikka is a vascular surgeon who loves metalwork and knitting. Her hobbies come in handy during a run-in with Jeremy, whose privileged life unraveled after his dad died.
I finished The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. I decided that something light was in order after that so I grabbed If Mashed Potatoes Could Dance by Paige Shelton. I think a fun cozy mystery is just what I need right now.
I’ve stayed up into the small hours #reading The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by KJ Charles (#book 1/Doomsday). This story was intensely absorbing. I was a little disappointed that the ending was HFN - but I suppose there is no HEA for 2 gay men in 1810 England. 🏳️🌈 #read#romance#books#romancelandia#bookstodon@romancebooks@bookstodon
Routine is a way to reclaim novelty. A ritual continually practiced with attention and awareness, constancy and stability reveals the subtle ways in which everything is not only always different but always differing...
No matter how weathered. No matter how lonely or scarred. We are a marvel of architecture and engineering. These self-healing wounds. This reshaping heart. This living ghost of who we've been and who we are. The capacity to be taken down to almost nothing, to be rebuilt, to be renovated, to be renewed.
