back to december

It is no stretch to say that 2025 has been the worst year of my life. Whatever else happened, or didn’t happen, my mother passed away, and that has clouded everything. I was her caregiver for more than ten years, and as much as that work suffocated me, I am adrift without it. I do […]

Thank you Del Rey for the early look at this gem from Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

The author says: "It's 1943 in Mexico and a charming con artist who runs romance scams has found his latest target. Things might not work out as planned."

But they do work out

Quotes by E. Catherine Tobler  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Virgil Mallory came into Eleanor Folley’s life during the autumn of her thirtieth year, a time when she should have been perfectly content to be with her father, books, or specimens from the field. Hers was not the life of a nun, she assured people (indeed, many presumed she had been packed off to a convent school, considering her Unfortunate Youth), but that of a librarian.”
E. Catherine Tobler, Rings of Anubis

“mess after yesterday’s hordes of younger”
E. Catherine Tobler, Gold & Glass

“Egypt tasted as Eleanor remembered: gritty, dry, and full of a hundred thousand secrets. She licked her lips and peered down the long corridor before her. A shadow moved across the ancient tomb walls.”
E. Catherine Tobler, Rings of Anubis

Topics Mentioning This Author

“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”
Anne Lamott

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
T.H. White, The Once and Future King

“It all ends in one of two ways: either someone gets eaten or something blows up.”
Jim Henson

“Go ahead. Rip my bodice.”
Richard Castle, Naked Heat

“But love like that doesn't just disappear, does it? No matter how powerful the hate, there is always a little love left, underneath.
Yes. Horrible, isn't it?”
N.K. Jemisin, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
