The actual books this time!
Clavir, Miriam: Insinuendo: Murder in the Museum – Dear Lord I read “but you’re so old at 53” in various ways so many times I thought I was going to scream. Seriously. I cannot tell you anything about the damn story several months later except for this very irritating tidbit. I hope her writing has changed since 2012 (when the book came out). I found this is a local little free library.
Canadian – set in the UBC Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, it gives a good description of a new comer to the city in the mid 2010s.
Chandrasekera, Vajra: The Saint of Bright Doors – This was a really good sort of queer fantasy story. This was one of the “12 books recommended by friends.” And conveniently a C book. Nominated by Aurora – I have to use this opportunity to give her amazing jewellery skills a plug: https://www.handmaderevolution.org/
Chow, Jennifer J.: Star-Crossed Egg Tarts – Is food-mystery a sub-genre of cozy mystery? This was very cute – and at the same time with a bit of depth. Definitely not something to keep you up at night but also you do kinda wanna know how it ends. I won this book early this year. It fits the TPL 2025 reading challenge category of “a book published this year.”
