Daughters of Rome | Kate Quinn

Pickpick

I went with a pick for this book because the last third of it was so good - but if I had based it on the first two thirds it probably would have just been ok. It just felt like a bunch of women gossiping and not much happening even though so much was happening. The last third is full of action and I couldn't put the book down! The ending was fitting for all the characters. I'll definitely be reading the third book in this series.

The Rose Code | Kate Quinn

Exciting, engrossing historical fiction about three women who worked at Bletchley park during WWII and the impact that time -- of personal freedom on one hand and intense secrecy on the other -- impacted their lives. It is on the melodramatic side but interestingly, some of the most astonishing elements were drawn from true stories. (I was a little uncomfortable that Prince Phillip is a major character.)

One of the characters is almost (cont)

willaful certainly autistic, and though of the “savant“ variety few of us are, I was really interested in her growth and her way of finding happiness for herself that had nothing to do with what society expected of her.

I just found my Kurt Vonnegut book for September‘s #AuthorAMonth…and it‘s on sale! Would love to read more about what he has to say about the art and craft of writing. (Discount also available on Google and Kobo.)

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 March 2025 #AuthorAMonth I‘ve had this in my library for a good while and I‘m glad to finally have the extra motivation to read it. Excellent world building, intricate magic system, and, most important from my point of view, interesting, well-rounded characters with realistic relationships. Recommended.

TheSpineView Fantastic! 😍📖📚 4d

This was a solid read for #authoramonth. A bit overally long and melodramatic at times but still enjoyed it. 👍

Happy Sunday #AuthorAMonth readers! Happy Easter if you celebrate.

We are more than halfway through April already, and I hope you‘re enjoying this month‘s author Kate Quinn. Your reviews have inspired me to add a few of her books to my TBR.

A look ahead to May which will bring Percival Everett. Perhaps you are ready to place your holds or orders soon.

Happy Reading!

My first Kate Quinn and it was alright. The history is compelling but I was underwhelmed by the writing. 🤷🏻‍♀️
