โToiles de Jouyโ simply means cloth from Jouy, a town near Paris. These textiles were all the rage in 18th century France, where textile makers borrowed methods of printing patterns on cotton used in India. They often included scenes of aristocratic daily life, but for this post weโve mostly concentrated on some of the more abstract designs, and a contemporary interpretation of the style. All of these images come from ๐๐จ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฒ: ๐

Shady Hollow | Juneau Black
A whimsical murder mystery that makes you want to cozy up under the covers with a hot cup of coffee at the ready and just immerse yourself in the small and quaint town of Shady Hollow!
I cannot express in words how much I truly enjoyed this book. The story follows many perspectives, but the main one is a news reporter named Vera Vixen, who is out to investigate the murder of the town's grouch Otto Sumpf. Grumpy old Otto was constantly arguing with somebody, but who would actually take action to murder him though?
We meet a wide cast of characters that you genuinely start to adore for their unique quirks and personalities. Reading this book made me want to be a part of the town and sit down at the coffee shop [Joe's Mug, owned and operated by Joe, the moose] and visit the bookstore Nevermore Books which is owned by Vera's best friend ( a raven ) named Lenore.ย
I cannot wait to pick up the second and third books that are in the series๐
5/5 Stars

I love the analogy of the forest when it comes to describing Autism. My attention to detail and inability to filter information is something that impacts my daily life. I can see patterns where others can't, sometimes even seeing patterns where there are none. I love this book so much โค๏ธ . . . . . . #autism #masking #unmasking #unmaskingautism #book #books #selfimprovement #library #librarybook #librarybooks #ydl #ypsilanti #ypsilantilibrary https://www.instagram.com/p/ClgolvhLi5Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

if youโve spoken to me in the 2 weeks since I started reading No One Asked For This by @cazziedavid, Iโm sorry. Iโve probably mentioned it way too many times. alas, I just love this collection of essays, and Cazzieโs flavor of anxiety is the same as mine which inevitably leads to a love the book for me. These essays were a true darkly hilarious, cathartic joy to read and felt like a dispatch from a big sister figure in a way that was comforting. Your 20s are so weird and confusing, and this book was a total comfort. full review is live on the blog now!! link in bio: http://www.readingwritingandme.com/2022/11/no-one-asked-for-this-by-cazzie-david.html #cazziedavid #nooneaskedforthis #bookstagram #bookworm #ebook #librarybook #bookblogger #bookreview #essaycollection https://www.instagram.com/p/ClJop4ZJAqF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Burning Pages | Paige Shelton
This is my first introduction to the 'Scottish bookshop mystery' series ( as this one is book 7), but I did not need to read the first six books to understand the story. It goes over all the relationships, and you get an excellent idea of all the characters' personalities and histories. I actually didn't pick this book out; my husband got it for me when I was telling him I was in the mood for a mystery book! He chose a perfect one as this is a very cozy and easy read, and it was fascinating to read about the setting of this story in Scotland.ย
We have:ย
- Themed dinners
- Old grudges
- Missing person
- Burnt-down buildings
- Murder mystery
- And one enthusiastic book-selling employee to solve it all!
This book will make you crave a cup of tea or some decadent hot chocolate! And as you figure out the secrets behind this murder mystery, be prepared to visit a lot of bookstores and libraries within the story. I loved it!
3/5 Stars
