Berlin Noir | Thomas Wortche
3 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Berlin's noir tradition is fueled by history, geography, and various literary traditions, all of which add up to a powerful volume of riveting short stories.

Have you ever read stories that were obviously well-written, where you can appreciate that craft while not actually enjoying the stories themselves? That‘s how I feel about most of the short stories in this Akashic Noir collection. They‘re worth reading, but this is not my favorite of the series. Several lacked any real conclusion, which vexed me, but it was great to finally finish a print book. I haven‘t done that since May 2nd. 😭😭

Julsmarshall Ooh, I own one of these and look forward to reading it! (edited) 4y

I know I‘ll never finish all of these, and that‘s okay. I‘ve been meaning to read Dune for ages and @Liatrek is hosting a buddy read, so now seems like a really good time. I‘m in the middle of Beneath the Mountain and Mythos, and I need to read Sanctuary for LibraryThing‘s Early Reviewers. Of the rest, two are recent #MyTBR recommendations and the others are from my May set-in-Germany personal challenge. 🎶Happy Birthday to me!🎶

keithmalek I own a copy of The Secrets We Kept, but haven't read it yet. I've also been wanting to read Burning Down the Haus. 5y
DGRachel @keithmalek I have high hopes for both. I may get Burning Down the Haus on audiobook, since I doubt I can read all of these books in print this month. 😊 5y

I have been chomping at the bit for this #bookmail ever since I saw that Berlin was planned, and I couldn‘t pass up Houston, either, since I lived just outside of Houston for a couple of years when I was much younger. 🤩 #akashicnoir #noir #bookbirthday

Lizpixie I just received Boston & Los Angeles to add to Sydney. I‘m hoping to add them slowly but there‘s so many of them!📚📚📚📚📚📚 6y
DGRachel @Lizpixie I‘m up to 16 in my collection, but yeah...there‘s almost 100 with more published every couple of months. 😱😱 6y
JazzFeathers I just love the sound of Berlin Noir 😍 6y
