“Education determines the quality of governance. An investment in education takes a generation to bear fruit. Likewise, countries feel the impact of this disregard for education a generation later.”

Recently finished an advance copy of WILD DARK SHORE, by Charlotte McConaghy, releasing March 4. Absolutely phenomenal. Completely immersive, enthralling, unputdownable, AND deeply wise. 5 stars.

"I'm not trying to hide from the truth
but to balance it,
to remind myself that there are other truths, too.

I need to remember that the earth,

fragile as it is,

remains heartbreakingly beautiful."

~Margaret Renkl, The Comfort of Crows

A snowy view from my reading spot today.✨

A book sits open on a white window ledge next to a clear drinking glass and a white vase... a snowy view and winter branches through the window.

Recently finished & recommend THE INHERITANCE, by Trisha Sakhlecha.

New release, psychological thriller, U.S. debut, twisty, centers a wealthy Indian family gathering on a private Scottish isle, murder, a final page that packs a big punch.
