My sympathies for your loss. My mom died in April, after an excruciating battle with Parkinson’s. I’ve found Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking captures the whole experience in exquisite prose.

Try the Innkeeper Chronicles by Ilona Andrews

Me: Trying to remember that recent funny/mystery book where the main character is a murderer

I go home from the library with My Murder by Katie Williams AND Murder Your Employer by Rupert Holmes AND Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson

Didn’t really like any of them :(

Spring’s Arcana by Lilith Saintcrow

DNF at page 179 when Jesus crucifies Jay Gatsby. (Yeah, you read that right).

Revenge porn. Torture porn. Military porn. MAGA porn. But our Patriot’s cause is righteous! “Please, God, all I’ve ever asked of you is to watch over my family. Let me avenge their deaths.” With my trusty tomahawk. Chop chop.
