Bevan Thomas<p>"I was never so amazed in my life as when the Sniffer drew his concealed weapon from its case and struck me to the ground, stone dead. How did I know that I was dead? As it seemed to me, I recovered consciousness in an instant after the blow and heard the Sniffer saying, in a quavering voice: 'He's dead!

Lillias<p>Book #81 Monkey Beach by Eden Robinson</p><p>We follow Lisamarie's memories as she and her family wait to find out the fate of her brother. He's been lost at sea from the fishing boat he was on. As a young indigenous woman in Canada, we follow her ups and downs. Her close relationship with her Uncle Mick is a highlight. Overall, a good book but the middle dragged a bit and I would've liked more of a resolution regarding Jimmy, Lisamarie's brother.<br>3.5/5 stars print</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Contemporary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Contemporary</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MagicRealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MagicRealism</span></a></p>
Lillias<p>#79 Other Birds by Sarah Addison Allen</p><p>A much needed beach read. A fun story with quirky characters, ghosts &amp; a bit of magic realism. A young woman, Zoey, is spending the summer before college, on an island off of South Carolina, in a small condo left to her by her mother. There she starts interacting with reluctant fellow residents. One of the residents dies accidentally and that starts off the action. Allen's storytelling is engaging.<br>3.5/5 stars print</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MagicRealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MagicRealism</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Contemporary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Contemporary</span></a></p>
Lillias<p>Book #52 Black Candle Women by Diane Marie Brown</p><p>A book of magic, generations of women under a curse should've been fun. The narrative had alternating chapters of four women &amp; I only cared about 2 of them. The one who had been cursed was so annoying! I could understand why she'd been cursed. As for the mother-teen daughter pair, why didn't the mother just reveal that they were cursed? In the end, this is a debut and it was ok.<br>2.5/5 stars audiobook</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MagicRealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MagicRealism</span></a></p>
