It‘s too hot to stay inside an AC free building. This seems about right to reread during a heatwave 🥵

I can‘t say that I really ‘got‘ why this book is a classic. It was - for me - just ok. Read for a challenge this year, otherwise, it would never have been on my radar.

Gennic Huh, I‘ve never heard of this one before 6y
sk888888 @Gennic My library didn‘t have The Big Sleep, only the Annotated version! Go figure. I skipped the annotated pages. The book was printed on the left page, all the notes on the right page, so it was easy to read. 6y

@Amandajoy thank you so much for the annotated The Big Sleep. I adore Chandler and I‘ve been excited about this book since I first heard of it! Thank you, too for the treats! The caramels were tasty and I‘m excited about the hot chocolate thingy! 🖤
Thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing this lovely swap! 😍🍫📖

Amandajoy I‘m glad you like it. I forgot to include a card, so Merry Christmas! 🎄 6y

Annotated Big Sleep. It gives notes alongside the text. Shows Los Angeles during the 1920's which included maps and images of famous buildings, notes from Chandler's personal letters, pictures of hairstyles and clothing from the characters. I would highly recommend this book as an addition to any crime fiction fan's library and hope that you would enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed reading The Annotated Big Sleep. Thanks NetGalley for an ARC
