Finished reading Karen Chester's Emma Cassidy Mysteries: Pushed to the Limit (#2), Murder Most Likely (#3), Witch Way to Murder (#4), In the Dead of Winter (#5),
A Case of Cold Feet (#6), Last Resort (#7), and No Place Like Home (#8). And read Jeanette Grey's When It's Right.

My favorite book this week was Nicole Helm's Cold Case Identity (Hudson Sibling Solutions #2) followed by JD Robb's Random in Death.

Currently reading Lorraine Hall's Playing the Sicilian’s Game of Revenge (Parisi Family #2).

I read Random in Death by JD Robb. It was very good and fast reading. Made me cry in one part of the book (which I won't say to not spoil it for everyone).

Just read the part of the Roman serial on the Ilona Andrews site. All I can say is oh boy!

Now I'm skimming through Obsession in Death by JD Robb.

It was a slow reading week for me, only finished "The Mediterranean Caper" by Clive Cussler. I do have a couple of books open that I started yesterday.

Just finished Hammered by Pippa Grandt & Lili Valente. It was a very funny love story.

I've put a temporary pause on my reading the last few days, mostly, it seems. I've been busy doing other things, including finding the supplies (and making them) to put some category labels on the books I own, partly to make is easier to recommend books to a (relatively new) friend, and partly to make it easier for me to find the ones I haven't read that fall into these categories. I'll admit I've gotten a little ... absorbed... in the project, so it's taken up a fair amount of my reading time (and some of my sleeping time).

My original plan was to just add Canadian stickers for Canadian authors, Medicine Wheel stickers for Indigenous authors (and/or subjects), and the neurodiversity infinity symbol for those books (subject and author). Then I realized it's a little more complex than that. First, how widely does one define "neurodiversity" and secondly, what symbol do I use for the books I have on other disability perspectives that fall outside of neurodivergent? ... And then I realized I should also add a sticker to my favourite books as well.

... as you can see, the project keeps expanding... 🤦‍♀️😂.

I did read a bit more of "Iris and the Crew Tear Through Space" by Cait Gordon though, and am loving it more and more the deeper I get into it! (Gotta love a universe where the characters live in a society that's so accessible, they don't even know what the word "disabled" means! 😁). It took me a little while to wrap my mind around so many different perspectives at once though.

I read Random in Death by JD Robb; and 'Born To Be Badger' by Laurenston. Then to celebrate the paperback release I re-read Resonance Surge. Enjoyed all of them. Also read and enjoyed a non-Fiction book 'Once Upon a Town' by Bob Greene about the North Platte, Nebraska canteen operated by volunteers for soldiers traveling through by train during World War II.
