Mehso-so

This book was ok for me. I enjoyed digging into the Cold War but didn't find this to be much a spy story. It was an easy read but the characters didn't develop much. More a story about two sisters and the ones husband and how much he likes to drink. The ending also seemed a little too unrealistic for me. I did enjoy the Cold War historical aspects of the book and hope to read more Cold War historical fiction in the future.

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk same, it looks good. I haven‘t read anything by her yet. Have you? I have a hold on mystery by her at my LPL 1mo
Bookwormjillk @Cuilin I thought I had, but I checked and I don't have anything written down. 1mo
Cuilin @Bookwormjillk I was convinced I had too. 🤔 1mo
dabbe I also had quite a few DNF's this year--not just for this but a lot of others. I think I over-FOMO'd myself! 🤣 1mo
Cuilin @dabbe Yep!! I‘m in my #HailTheBail era. 1mo
dabbe @Cuilin 🎯🤣🎯 1mo
julieclair I haven‘t had many DNFs this year, but I‘ve had a LOT of “didn‘t get to it in the assigned month and therefore will never read it because now I have to start the new month‘s books or I‘ll be behind” books. (Would love to figure out a hashtag for that, lol!) Like @dabbe , I over-FOMO‘d myself. I‘m really going to try to cut down on my challenges for 2026. (But everything sounds like so much fun!) But #BookedInTime is a keeper for sure. 1mo
julieclair I absolutely love this challenge! Now… as to the original question 😂… I‘ll be reading 1mo
Cuilin @julieclair oh my gosh yes to the “didn‘t read it during the assigned month so now I‘m not gonna read it” I‘m blaming my ADHD!!! 😆 American Spy sounds great. Let me know if there‘s an historical era you‘d like to see next year. I have a few ideas for some new ones but don‘t mind repeating a past prompt. 1mo
Karisimo I love this time period! I've read 4 of the ones you listed! I would also recommend The Briar Club by Kate Quinn! 1mo
dabbe @julieclair Yep, I have to seriously regroup. My books are collecting dust on the shelves as I keep buying more books to keep up with the group reads. Time to slow down and reassess. 🧡🤎💜 1mo
Cuilin @Karisimo oh thanks for the recommendation!! Which four did you read and did you like them? 1mo
Karisimo @cuilin I have read The Berlin Letters, Our Woman in Moscow, Transcription, and I Must Betray You. I liked and would recommend them all! If I *had* to pick a favorite, I would go with I Must Betray You. 1mo
Cuilin @Karisimo Thanks for replying. I have Berlin Letters but with my track record I might need a back up. 🤭 1mo
Jess861 Just picked up Our Woman in Moscow from the library - hoping I find time to read it! 1mo
Cuilin @Jess861 May the odds be ever in your favor. 1mo
