Maybe you don’t “have” to read the other Jackson Brodie novels by Kate Atkinson, but I really recommend that you do. If not before then definitely after. He’s such an interesting character and there’s a lot of back story that affects everything he does. I can hardly wait to read this book!
I concur with reading them in order. Things happen to Jackson along the way and they impact his decisions. Best to read in order. I try to do that with most series I read.
Also building my spooky season TBR! 👻 Your manor house post reminded me of my interest in Plain Bad Heroines. Hot tip for Kindle readers, it's currently $1.99.
Doing the same with the ever-growing spooky season pile, while still finishing the late summer reads! Thinking I might start with some exploration of things that transform us - dance mania, the minds of the mystics hovering close to not quite human creatures, that sort. Currently reading Chlorine by Jade Song that does that with a mermaid, so figure it's a good transition point! (Suggestions welcome!)
I love the Jackson Brodie novels and was SO excited to pick one up in Liverpool this summer - it isn't out yet in the US! I read it cover to cover on the plane. I also wanted to mention that my sister-in-law sent me Spine Poems as a gift and I agree that it is a treasure!
Thanks for sharing the Polish painted houses! I've always wanted to get a tattoo of one of their folk art patterns as a nod to my great grandmother. It will be hot where I live for a while but I'm already transitioning to thrillers and mysteries for fall!
One of the best falls I ever had was in Prague. Absolutely glorious!
Fall is my favorite season, and Prague in fall is very dreamy. It's supposed to get quite cool and rainy this week. So excited!

I would love to read the whole series! My SSoP required reading is keeping me from them! #bookwormproblems

Oh, awesome! So glad Spine Poems is a good fit for you. YAY!

Those designs would make a fantastic tattoo! Love that idea!
