One Across, Two Down

so-so

Finished my #birthdaychallenge read...it was ok, definitely not in the same league as Agatha Christie but way better than my Sidney Sheldon read. Just finished frying up a batch of potato latkes for my boys, as tonight is the first night of Hanukkah 🕎 I burnt the last few latkes because I was busy checking my Litsy feed!😜
Happy Holidays to all ❤❤❤

Lynnsoprano 😂😂 At least it's good to know I'm not the only one checking Litsy while cooking. 8y

One Across, Two Down | Ruth Rendell

#birthdayChallenge 🎂I'm up to publishing year 1971 📖
Hoping this female crime writer is better than Sidney Sheldon 🕵🏻‍♀️🙏🏻😐

KarenUK Fingers crossed for you! 😊 8y

writerlibrarian Rendell is usually a good choice in a "noir" style. Not in Patricia Highsmith's league but then who is. I usually recommend Rendell to mystery/thriller reader who like Elizabeth Georges for example. (edited) 8y

Michelle_mck I start my birthday challenge on the New Year! My starting year is 1977 and I'm starting with this one

Cinfhen @writerlibrarian I'm not familiar with either Patricia Highsmith or Elizabeth George 😬I will check out those names for future #birthdaychallenge reads! 8y

Cinfhen I'm loving the#birthdaychallenge @Michelle_mck 😊if you enjoy your 1977 selection, let me know! Maybe I will read it for my 1977 choice! 8y

Cinfhen Thanks @KarenUK 😘Are you familiar with Ruth Rendell? (edited) 8y

writerlibrarian @Cinfhen well then I'll be sure to check if if you liked Rendell. Highsmith is wonderful you could start with

Talented Mr. Ripley

KarenUK @cinfhen only as tv adaptations in the 80's/90's (inspector Wexford) .... but my dad is a big mystery fan.. and loves the books.... 8y

Michelle_mck @Cinfhen I will let you know - it's going to be one of my first reads if the year, fingers crossed it's good 8y

quirkyreader I love the writing by both Sidney Sheldon and Ruth Rendell. A word of warning though. Always check the book tittles, because she is one of the authors publishers play silly buggers with, i.e different countries different tittles for the same book. This has happened many times with me. I'm like "I haven't read this one". I get it home and I already have a copy of it with a different name. 8y

Cinfhen Thanks @quirkyreader for the heads up! I hate when publishers pull that 💩 8y

Cinfhen @writerlibrarian I can't believe I didn't know the author of

The Talented Mr. Ripley

Cinfhen I'm totally going to read it😀thanks again @writerlibrarian 8y

Cinfhen Good luck ☘️ @Michelle_mck I've had some hits & misses with my #birthdaychallenge reads, but it's really fun to discover new authors and to get a glimpse of how much literature has changed💕😊📚 (edited) 8y
