PattyMacDotComma Who knew there was an in-depth, scientific (GORGEOUS!) study of international fairies?! A Natural History of Fairies by Emily Hawkins and illustrator Jessica Roux is terrific - as appealing for oldies as for kiddies!

╟ ♫ Tima ♪ ╣ ♥ (tsunanisaurus) | 144 comments Currently reading A History of Scars: A Memoir for a netgalley provided read, and wow her writing is so lyrical and raw so far, I'm really soaking it up. Also about to start Before We Were Yours for the TBR Twin Jan read. And kind of waffling on whether or not to read The Right Swipe before it's due back at the library. I've not heard much personally about it but the wait time for it was wild so I don't want to regret sending it back lol

Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 392 comments I finished The Art of Violence A Lydia Chin/Bill Smith Novel by S.J. Rozan The Art of Violence: A Lydia Chin/Bill Smith Novel by S.J. Rozan. Rozan usually alternates which one of her two private investigators gets to tell the story. This time Bill Smith deals with a convicted killer turned celebrated artist who believes he's a serial killer. This is #13 in the series but the mystery reads easily as a standalone.

PattyMacDotComma I really enjoyed The Crossing, the first of Aussie author B. Michael Radburn's mystery series about a park ranger escaping his grief by taking a posting in Tasmania. It's frying pan into the fire stuff, except it's so bl**dy freezing that the fire might be welcome. Good read!
