A book about a book club - May 10, 2026 - I didn't care for the narrator for this one which may have influenced my rating. Story was less about book club and more about romance. Meh.
Rating ⭐️⭐️1/2

A book about new beginnings - March 20, 2026 - This is an easy read. A tale about finding yourself and opening up to new experiences. Perhaps finding some magic and wonder along the way.

A book with a nonhuman character - November 28, 2025 - One of the main characters in this book is a sentient plant. This book is fun to read, it's full of imagination and joy. It'll give you the warm, fuzzy feelings.

Non-fiction November: choosing non-fiction
I just found out about #NonFictionNovember through Liz Dexter from Libro Full Time, hosted by Frances Spurrier at Volatile Rune. Each week has a theme to encourage you to read more non-fiction and this one is “choosing non-fiction”.
I realised that when I choose non-fiction to read (that is not for work), I usually tied it up to my fiction favourite readings. The picture above is a good example of this:
- Books about books, libraries, booksellers, and the history of the book and reading;
- Books about specific books or characters. Besides Aldridge’s Marple and Poirot, I could add Osborne’s The Life and Times of Agatha Christie, Poirot and Marple biographies of Anne Hart, companions, etc.;
- Books about genres or subgenres, either as history or as a collection of essays. To Murder for Pleasure and The Golden Age of Murder, I could add HowDunnit, essays by The Detection Club members, Bloody Murder by Julian Symons, The Life of Crime by Martin Edwards, and others;
- Autobiographies and biographies, to which I could add other authors like Austen, the Brontes, and Trollope;
- More recently, I’ve been adding nature writing books to my TBR, of which The Wild Isles is a good example (it’s an anthology), but I could also add Angela Harding’s A Year Unfolding or A Nature Diary by Richard Adams.
This November, I’m reading Murder Will Out by T. J. Binyon. The book goes through several detectives, dividing its chapters through the different types of detectives: the professional amateur, the amateur amateur, the police, etc.. Binyon describes the differences between these characters when they belong to the same category and talks about the books and their creators so one can get an historical perspective or even see the evolution of the detective.
Now, back to you, do you read non-fiction by choice? And do you choose it?

"Books are Lighthouses erected in the great sea of time" - Edwin Percy Wipple
First line of text in main book :
The Madman's Library: The Greatest Curiosities of Literature by Edward Brooke-Hitching -
Another book I was curious about. The New Yorker Helene Hanff writes to a bookstore in the UK asking for some books and a friendship develops with the staff. It's a series of small letters, funny and poignant, about books, but also about their lives at the time.
This edition also has a second book, where Hanff finally visits the bookstore’s place, The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street.
For those who like classic crime fiction, Hanff wrote some scripts for the TV series The Adventures of Ellery Queen.

We've been having bright sun, thunderstorm, and a few minutes of heavy rain (so needed) now and and then. All in one day.
I'm hoping this Once Upon a Tome will get me through the weekend.#BooksAboutBooks #Bookstagram #BookSelling #RareBookSelling #OnceUponATome #BookSellers #Bookstore #Bookshops #CozyReading
