panThis was a #MoreMehThanYeah read.
Two timelines, one set in 1930s, one in 1880s.
Both about a Scottish woman taking care of their ailing fathers, both forced to work, one set mainly in Scotland the other mainly on the US east coast.
In 1930s, Emmie has come back to the UK from Australia, where she got a doctorate in botany and spent time discovering plants in jungles and deserts. ⬇️

Prompt 24 for #BookChain24 @TheAromaofBooks
2nd entry for "Title starting with Letter L" for #52bookclub24
I've just imported my books from goodreads into SG. I have no idea really how to use it. Any tips for a new user? I'm planning on doing the trial month and then paying for the upgraded version if I like it enough. Suggestions on how to get the most out of the app would be appreciated...or if there's a good youtube or tiktok tutorial, I'd go for that as well. Thanks!!

Not sure who recommended this to me, a listoholic, but I thank the Litten who did it.?
This was fun, although, as always, I had an idea of what the MacGuffin was early on and where it was hidden. Also I knew who killed "Green Boots" and why and why (no, that is not a typo, read the book or listen to it to find out why ?). But I do read very carefully and pay attention to words and punctuation.

Thanks to this challenge I've eventually managed to read Wodehouse (I might have read him before in German translation, some of it seemed familiar, but that must have been 30+ years ago).
Now to find a book with less than 225pp. 😁
@Lauredhel - not on my "official" TBR, but there's a T ??
Prompt: One of New Book's author's names starts with the same letter as one of Last Book's author's names.

Looking forward to our discussion next month!
I enjoyed the stories although some of them were familiar.
Can highly recommend pairing the book with the #audiobook.

panExperienced thief (24 y/o) from London rookery is engaged by a handsome earl to steal some papers from a duke. Obviously she has to live at his home where she has to learn to be an accomplished debutant. Now she only needs to catch the eye of the duke, steal the papers and collect her fee of £10.000.
Anachronistic dialogue. Historical inaccuracies. Insta-love. Explicit 🛌 scenes.

pickAnother gem from the #AuldLangSpine list @rachelsbrittain put together.
I cannot say exactly why I liked this weird book about a temp who works in the strangest jobs: a shoe-shiner, on a pirate ship, opening doors, even as a human barnacle 😳

This book is not just a treasure hunt, but also a finding of identity. Because, it seems, no one involved in the story truly is who they pretend to be. (spoiler: it was rather obvious from the start) ⬇️ 2mo
