I absolutely adore the original Antiques Roadshow (UK) and was delighted to find this book in my local library. I'm a little lowkey mad that the British experts' books are not readily available over here, but this has been delightful so far!

May 2026 #TBRChallenge - New Beginnings

Am I twisting this prompt into a marriage-in-trouble second-chance romance? Yes, yes I am #noshame

I'm calling it here. I expected one cat death and have already read about 3, plus an unfortunate massacre of kittens. I can't handle this emotionally at all :-/

A LibraryThing EarlyReviewers win from last month

Stan was a hottie when he was a young man! Jan was pretty good-looking, too.

Yup, I bawled like a baby when he describes the deaths of his previous pets 😭

I am trying to prepare myself for the ugly cry that I know will be coming with this book. As much as I love books, and cats, I tend to shy away from reading books *about* cats because I can't stand the endings, where the cats cross the rainbow bridge. But I'm going to try to get over this reticence - wish me luck!

I'm 130 pages in and nobody has died yet.

Always happy to be back in Henry Adams <3

April 2026 #TBRChallenge - Fool's Errand

Starting late this month - blame it on dental pain

When life gets unbearable, it's time for a GLH novel.

Here I was, feeling guilty for having this book an entire month and not yet reading it, and I see that it's still yet to be published, LOL. My latest LibraryThing Early Reviewers win!

Welp, I didn't intend to read two mysteries set in Vienna back-to-back, but that's the way the library card falls, I guess!

By far the latest book in the Inspector Macdonald series that I've read thus far (#42)!

My second choice for this month's TBR Challenge - and also another fairly recent addition to Mount TBR! I guess my memory really is a sieve these days LOL.
