I'm a stressed out mom that works way too much and uses reading as my escape time. I've been really enjoying picking up books that I know absolutely nothing about other than the title and giving it a go. This book roulette has been helping me push my boundaries and read books I likely never would have picked up before.

My rating system: (100% of my reading is through my library or online content, for reference) 5 - I absolutely loved it and will be buying a copy for my bookshelf! 4 - I really enjoyed this and will pick up a used copy from somewhere to share with others. 3 - This was pretty good, I can see why people like it. 2 - This just really wasn't quite for me. 1* - This should have been a DNF...

A Mouthful of Dust

4 stars

I always enjoy Nghi Vo's Singing Hills Cycle stories. There's something about the idea of monks going around and collecting knowledge and stories that manages to always be compelling.

A Mouthful of Dust is a short novella centered on food, survival, and secrets that don't want to be revealed. It did not dislodge Mammoths at the Gates as my favorite Singing Hills book, but it was still an enjoyable snack.

Thanks as always go to my agent, Diana Fox, who told me back in 2020 that maybe the world wasn’t ready for famine and eating babies. Then in 2024, she said, “Okay, they may be ready now,” and here we are.

Along with having a recipe for curry, I was amused at some of the author's notes at the end of the book.

Her beauty is severe and her expression serious, but when she laughs, her cheeks become rosy and full except for a small indentation in the right cheek. I imagine dipping my pinky toe into her dimple.
