Oh good. I was afraid I didn't have enough sad books this month! ;-)
TBH, I know nothing about this story or the women so I am really looking forward to learning about this history, even if it is brutally sad.

ANNNNNNND just like that, it got moved to next month. A book for NG changed dates and I need to get #1 read first. Sigh. Oh well, after Uncultured, I need a break. WHAT a heartbreaking book.

** Because this is due in FEBRUARY 2023, but the download must happen by 10.11.2022 [and you only have 45 days to read it from the download], I have to read it now. Alas, it is not on Goodreads as of yet and since they changed the rules and I am not a librarian, I CANNOT add it. GRRR. So until it gets added, it technically doesn't have a number as it will throw everything off if I do it that way. Sigh. UPDATE: FINALLY, the book is on GR and all my numbers finally match. Hallelujah

Dawn Michelle | 3485 comments The bestie got saddled with a detective fiction class this year at the college where she teaches and so all of us who LOVE mysteries and DF are reading the same books to try and help her throughout this semester. Typical of me, I forgot I was doing this [I. AM. OLD. ] and so I had to scramble to get this squeezed in [something I was SO glad I did because it was even better the second time around]. I hate when my dates are all wonky but this will be a lesson in letting sh*t go and just be. ;-)
