Good day, dear Susan! The weather has turned here, too. Rain and a few degrees chillier. Glad I didn’t have to do my walk in this!

Autumn weather also marks my embarking on Shantaram. Shall we compare initial thoughts on Sunday at #BlueBrewBooks?

In the meantime, please can I have a latte today?

Excerpt from "The Witch and the Tsar" ― Olesya Salnikova Gilmore for #BlueBrewBooks, my current read and an excellent choice for #31DaysOfHalloween.

Picture shows a tile representation of the holy Mother, Mary, at the Grotto, a Sanctuary in Portland. Text reads: "“My usual reaction to icons was a stab of jealousy. This god was exalted, celebrated in resplendent wealth; my gods were forgotten, prayed to in shameful, guilt-ridden secrecy. He had triumphed while my gods had lost. But Our Lady of Vladimir was different. Though I was a stranger in this church, a heathen, the Lady seemed to speak to me, to convey such tender sorrow, such a depth of suffering, that I wanted to weep. I realized why the Lady was suddenly so dear to me; she reminded me of my mother.” ― Olesya Salnikova Gilmore, The Witch and the Tsar

Good morning, Susan. I hope all is well with you. A lazy day off for me. May I get one of your wonderful #BrewBrew pours, please? Happy Tuesday to #ECK worldwide. I don't know if it's a cheat to name drop my own book in #BlueBrewBooks, but I did a bit for #TheCampfire today. A memory for Jeffery.

I really liked Educated, too! Good thing she kept - and was able to get - all those old journals. Really give her memoir its power and immediacy, I think. Well written & an unforgettable story she tells so well.📚 #BlueBrewBooks

@trinaherself.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 5:13 PM

Quite a life he lead - I’ll try & find this down here in the library or used book sale, Susan #BlueBrewBooks I’m in between books at the mo’. Just starting this autobiographical creative-nonfiction book The Other Wes Moore. One is our governor (Maryland); the other is in prison (for life).📚

Paperback cover of “The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates” by Wes Noore shows a vintage black and white photo of an African-American kid riding a bike down an empty residential urban street, looking over his shoulder as if being chased by someone off camera.

I promised Susan @sdcushing.bsky.social a picture book for #BlueBrewBooks. Will this do?

Front of The Book of Birds From the Creators of The Lost Words Jackie Morris & Robert Macfarlane Two colourful Bullfinches sit on a branch. The cover is cream with a blue spine. It sits on an oak table in sunlight next to a pair of RSPB binoculars.Book open on the table at page, showing an illustration of a Lapwing in flight and on the ground and, opposite page, description plus egg and Latin name Vanellus vanellus.Words on rear cover: A great thinning of the skies is underway. Around fifty per cent of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns and springs are quieter each year than the last. It does not have to be this way - but we will not save what we do not love. The Book of Birds is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are declining or endangered in Britain. Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field guide with a difference. It asks not 'What is that bird?, but 'Who is that bird?" It shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them. With lyrical precision and playfulness, Robert Macfarlane evokes each bird's habits and habitats - their patterns of flight and of song, how they nest and hunt, the threats which shadow them, and how their wild lives intersect with ours. And on every page we encounter Jackie Morris's exhilarating artwork, painted in watercolour and gold, animated by an extraordinary attention to detail and presence. Set among this dazzling flock of species are seven sections celebrating the 'Seven Wonders' that together make up the everyday miracle of 'Bird': Nest, Egg, Beak, Song, Feather, Flight and Migration. Seven years in the making, The Book of Birds is a love letter to the splendours and mysteries of birdlife, and a clarion call to halt the loss of birds from land, sea and sky. From Dipper to Dunnock and Kestrel to Kingfisher, from mountain to ocean and city to river, Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane conjure the unique spirit and lifeway of each species. This is a book to be treasured by bird-lovers of all ages, and a future classic work of reference. ISBN 978-0-241-40473-7 90000 A Hamish Hamilton Book £35.00

Good morning, Susan! A cup of your delicious #BlueBrew ☕️ while I continue reading the third book “Dead Beat” in the series by Leigh Bardugo for #BlueBrewBooks. I’ve read too many books between the last one and now, but it’s all coming back to me. Have you started these yet?
Have a wonderful day📚

Dead Beat by Leigh Bardugo is the action-packed, supernatural conclusion to the Ninth House dark academia trilogy. Alex Stern made it to hell and back more than once, but this time she left the door open behind her. Demons are creeping through the streets of New Haven and the Yale campus, feeding on the souls of the living, terrifying the dead. Alex and her allies can hunt them, but it’s only a matter of time before the gates to the underworld open and they face a war they cannot win. To stop it, they’ll have to reach deep into the secrets of Yale and its societies, and discover the truth hidden in Alex’s own blood. While she struggles to hold onto the dream of a future Yale once offered, Alex must contend with the machinations of a corrupt Lethe Board and a deadly vampire with his own connection to the societies. But for the first time in her life, she won’t have to face the fight alone. Dawes, Turner, Mercy, and even Tripp will have a role to play, none more so than Alex’s mentor Darlington, the golden boy who lived so long in her head, now back in the flesh and cursed with dangerous powers of his own. Hell itself is stalking the delegates of Lethe House, and they’re all about to learn that demons don’t play by human rules.

For #BlueBrewBooks currently reading Ellis Peters’ Death to the Landlords.

Peters is best known for her Brother Cadfael mysteries, which are great! This book I’m reading is the 11th book in her Felse series.

She also wrote historical fiction under her real name of Edith Pargeter. See alt. 💙📚⚡️⏳

Photo of three paperback books on a counter. The books are all by the same author, Ellis Peters, also known as Edith Pargeter (her real name). I’m currently reading Death to the Landlords, pictured with a bookmark. It’s the 11th book of her Felse series. It took me a couple of tries to get into her Felse books, but I’m glad I tried again. They are mysteries set at the same time the books were written 1950s - 1970s. Peters is probably best known for her Brother Cadfael mysteries, which are great reads! Once I started them, I read them all in about 2 years. Pictured here is the first Cadfael book, A Morbid Taste for Bones. Finally, this author wrote historical fiction under her real name of Edith Pargeter. Pictured here is A Bloody Field by Shrewsbury. Love her historical fiction too! They are usually set in the 11th - 14th centuries. Shrewsbury is set during 1399 - 1413, and is about Henry of Bolingbroke overthrowing his cousin King Richard II, to take the throne as King Henry IV. Highly recommended Pargeter’s Welsh Princes quartet, the first one is called Sunrise in the West. I am a Peters/Pargeter completist. Working on reading them all 😀

Good morning, Susan! Happy Sunday to all #ECK. #BlueBrew request, please. For #BlueBrewBooks I just finished "Red City" by Marie Lu. (Fast paced, great alt-world building: Modern syndicates run by alchemists!) Now into "The Witch and the Tsar" by Olesya Salnikova Gilmore. (Baba Yaga as the heroine.)

The Witch and the Tsar by Olesya Salnikova Gilmore is a historical fantasy debut novel that reimagines the legendary Baba Yaga as a complex, sympathetic half-goddess. ABOUT THIS BOOK: In this stunning debut novel, the maligned and immortal witch of legend known as Baba Yaga will risk all to save her country and her people from Tsar Ivan the Terrible—and the dangerous gods who seek to drive the twisted hearts of men. As a half-goddess possessing magic, Yaga is used to living on her own, her prior entanglements with mortals having led to heartbreak. She mostly keeps to her hut in the woods, where those in need of healing seek her out, even as they spread rumors about her supposed cruelty and wicked spells. But when her old friend Anastasia—now the wife of the tsar, and suffering from a mysterious illness—arrives in her forest desperate for her protection, Yaga realizes the fate of all of Russia is tied to Anastasia’s. Yaga must step out of the shadows to protect the land she loves.

Hello Susan!
I am finally reading this one from my huge TBR list after hearing part of an interview with Tara when it came out. The first part is a difficult read. I was unaware of the physical abuse and trauma she endure growing up. A powerful book for #BlueBrewBooks.

The Cover of "Educated" by Tara Westover has simple artwork that depicts a roughly sharpened pencil that suggests mountains with a small silhouette standing on the edge.

Good morning everyone! My family's about to head out to the local Renaissance Faire. My husband is going as a pirate🏴‍☠️ and I'm going as a fairy 🧚.

Before we head out, I'm currently reading this month's #DarkerTimes book: "Jackal" by Erin E. Adams. They recommend really good horror.
