I haven't posted an update in a month so let's do this!

→ Reading update

I want to focus on these two books this weekend. A Mão Que Mata ("The Hand That Kills") is from a Portuguese author, this a mystery novel. I'm reading it for book club. I only need to read one more chapter this week, and I'll finish it next week. The other one, A Murder is Announced is my Christie novel for this month. I'm participating in Read Christie 2026, where you read one Agatha Christie book per month. I'll post my list for this year soon!
