@trinsec it’s been a while since I’ve finished a book, so I guess that’s why it felt quick. It’s not murder mystery with a lady at all, but maybe check out A Cruel Madness by Colin Thubron should you run out of recommendations or would like a change in theme. It’s a psychological novel that I remember really creeped me out near the end

@trinsec well I’m glad you were at least entertained. I know it didn’t fit in exactly with the genre you described but I enjoyed reading this book and thought it would be a good recommendation. I didn’t relate with the old lady either but the characterizations were great and the turn of events highly engaging. Honestly I’m surprised you’re already finished. I assumed you had a long list

@trinsec I highly recommend Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead

Saved a dehydrated bird. Took him in and fed him water from a syringe until he was able to fly again. Just released him and he seems good.

@trinsec yes but they have no chance against a billionaire autocrat’s machinery

@trinsec i googled it and still don’t get the joke. Or is it that bad

It’s a dark time in the Philippines right now

I’m guessing the jamon store below has something to do with them

On a trip to Taiwan with my girlfriends in 2017 we came across this old lady selling adorable hand-stitched wallets. I just bought a new one on Etsy because mine is worn after five-ish years. I wish I could keep it forever though, and go back to Taiwan with the girls
