Plotting Women: Gender and Representation in Mexico | Jean Franco

pick

Book #17 of 2024: “Plotting Women” by Jean Franco

This was a challenge. I lack a lot of the background needed to understand many of the references made to other texts and authors, but the topic (women who, in their own ways, subverted gender norms/expectations in Mexican culture) was engrossing. I wouldn‘t recommend this book unless this has been a field of study for you already. It‘s dense.

Elena Sabe / Elena Knows | Claudia Pi�eiro

August 2024 Book #5 Elena Knows
My first novel by this author. Short but powerful novel. So intense, well written. It was amazing how the illness was described, I almost felt I was inside Elena‘s body, feeling her frustrations to command her body to react, to follow her instructions. Characters were masterly described, so much was said in a short novel. It was so sad the story of Elena. I was just captivated by this stor, by this written style 5⭐️

Gissy I‘m glad this book was translated to English language. I heard the same positive reaction amongst English readers about the story and translation.

Dead in Dublin (The Dublin Driver Mysteries, #1) | Catie Murphy

so-so

August 2024 Book #4

Megan moved from US to Ireland and she is working in a Limo Service. One day one famous client collapsed after she ate in a restaurant. Megan is a friend of the owners of this restaurant and she accepted to help them in the investigation of the circumstances of this death due to the bad impact this incident can have to the restaurant and because one employee was a suspect of this murder⬇️2.8/3⭐️

Gissy As expected, Megan will be involved in the murder investigation, there will be romance and case will be resolved with her help☺️

Story was a little slow with not so much excitement but I‘m a sucker stories set in Ireland and I love cozy mysteries so I will try book #2🤷🏽‍♀️ 2mo

Desolation Mountain: A Novel | William Kent Krueger

pick

This is #17 in the Cork O‘Connor series. While I‘ve read his standalone books, I think I‘ve only read 1 book of this series. Krueger does a great job letting you in wherever you pick up the series. As usual, he puts you squarely in the story, bringing you close through his descriptions of nature and the characters. This story involves a plane crash, a military takeover of the crash site, and domestic terrorism. A bit too close to home actually.

sarahbarnes Oof. 2mo

Suet624 @sarahbarnes yeah, exactly 2mo

Hello, Summer | Mary Kay Andrews

pick

Well is not a hello, it‘s almos a bye bye summer b ecause I‘m posting this review extremely late...😳😂It was read last June.
I enjoyed this one because it has a touch of mystery after a suspicious death occurred. If you know this author, you will expect a lot of family drama with some funny scenes due to town gossips, that Rowena is a funny character. 3.5/3.7 ⭐️ I found this author recent book for free👍

The Greek Interpreter: Sherlock Holmes in Large Print | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

#NoPlaceLikeHolmes

I thoroughly enjoy this one. How about you?

Librarybelle I liked this one. We get introduced to Mycroft, which was a good insight into Holmes‘s family life. 3mo

CatLass007 I think Holmes just doesn‘t care about the social niceties because he‘s basically a misanthrope. That doesn‘t mean he‘s inept. He knows how to behave in a socially acceptable manner, he just doesn‘t want to. I liked this story for a couple of reasons. 1) Mycroft and 2) I didn‘t feel like Conan Doyle hid any clues from us. 3mo

IndoorDame I loved meeting Mycroft! It was amazing that in just a few pages you really felt both their bond as brothers, and a realistic amount similarities and differences between them. 3mo

CogsOfEncouragement In the case where the woman needs help amid a horrible position she took as a governess (she could find no other work) and W says SH didn‘t care about her after the case, but also reports that young woman found a position at the head of a school - an excellent job seemingly out of thin air. I believe Doyle wants the reader to see that W doesn‘t always observe SH fully or properly. SH surely helped place her in the job she was well suited for. 3mo

Cuilin @IndoorDame yes! I loved the banter, it seemed playfully competitive not adversarial. 3mo

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement agree and Watson was clear to say this is my opinion. He had enough self-awareness to sense he could be biased. 3mo

Read4life I was happy we were introduced to Mycroft & enjoyed their relationship. 3mo

Aimeesue I enjoyed this one, especially the observation competition between the brothers. 3mo

CrystalE02 I enjoyed this one very much. I loved the introduction of Mycroft. I also loved the dialog between the two brothers. I loved that none of the clues was hidden. 3mo

dabbe Watson states that he only “sometimes“ regarded Sherlock as “a brain without a heart.“ By this time, Watson and we have seen Holmes show sympathy and heart. I think Watson is simply saying that only occasionally does Holmes make him feel this way, especially by not sharing much of his past.

In the 1927 STRAND magazine contest, Doyle chose this one as #17/19 of his favorites. He originally chose only his top 12, but then he added 7 more. 3mo

Cuilin @dabbe I think I would add this to one of my favorites also. 3mo

Cuilin @CrystalE02 yes, I liked being given the clues this time. 3mo

Cuilin @Aimeesue it has such a good balance of mystery, camaraderie and comedy. 3mo

kelli7990 I liked this story. 3mo

dabbe @Cuilin It's one of mine, too. I loved the Jeremy Brett Granada version, too. 3mo

Cuilin @kelli7990 me too. 3mo
