I’m still making progress on The Count of Monte Cristo, which is excellent but very very long. I’m listening to Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout, also excellent.

📚💙 Book 65 of 2026 - A Superior Death by Nevada Barr. Cozy mystery featuring Anna Pigeon set in the National Park at Lake Superior. I figured out the main plot twist too early in this one, but I enjoyed it anyway.

I enjoyed The Gray Wolf and generally like all of Louise Penny’s books. I’m mostly a no on pumpkin pie although I will eat the vegan version I make in rare occasion. I’m a sucker for cream pies though.

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

This is another level from the New York Times 100 Best Books of the 21st Century (so far), and I think it deserves to be there. When it was over, I thought, “Well, that was perfect” and also I wish it didn’t have to end. 2/2

📚💙 Book 64 of 2026 - The Friend by Sigrid Nunez. This is a book for everyone who has considered writing as a career & maybe also for those who haven’t. It’s a novel written as memoir, mostly, & it’s about a woman grieving her friend’s death by suicide & it’s about a dog. 1/2

Book cover with a multi colored frame. The colored are red on the left, orange on top, yellow on the top the right, and green at the bottom. The back is blue. There is a harlequin Grest Dane sitting on the green part as it it is grass.

Yes, I picked it up because it ended up on the New York Times Top 100 Books of the 21st century. But when I did, I realized it was already on my embarrassing large TBR list.

📚💙 Book 63 of 2026 - Exit West by Mohsin Hamid. Fantastic piece of magical realism that moves refugees into so called “first world” nations in a unique way, but the book is at least as much about human relationships. It’s a short, fast read, and I highly recommend it.

An open door to the street through the wall of a home with yellow wallpapered walls and an empty birdcage with an open door.

Remember when our congress, who can’t agree on anything, got together to ban TikTok immediately when information about Gaza started to leak out to the US populace? I think about that sometimes. And it makes me feel discouraged.

I was born in Reno but lived in California until I went to college. Moved to Boise Idaho from Puerto Rico in 1998. I used to be a lot more active in politics here in Idaho, so you might have heard of me in that context.
