kspenmoll Thanks for this list! 2w
julieclair Ooohhh… gold! Thanks for sharing! 💙🌏📚 2w
Amiable Great list! Thanks for posting! 2w
Cuilin @julieclair oh my gosh I would love to see this list, but I‘m not on Instagram. I wonder if there‘s any other way to see it, we could get some inspiration for #BookedInTime. 2w
Texreader @Cuilin I poked around and couldn‘t find this posted anywhere on the net. I‘ll see if there‘s only a few pages I can post them here. I think a lot of folks who are not on instagram would like to see these recommendations 2w

Mehso-so

This book was brutal. I can‘t say I enjoyed reading it, but I did learn a lot. It‘s a dual timeline novel, set in 1930s Berlin and 1950s Buenos Aires. Both locations were written with a strong sense of time and place, and the novel was well-researched, particularly the sections that took place in Argentina. ⬇️

julieclair (cont.) The main character was a famous police detective in Berlin before WWII, became an SS Officer during the war, and was one of the many Nazi officers who escaped to Argentina after the war. He continued his detective work there, investigating some truly horrific murders. Reading this book helped me realize that I‘m not a fan of hard-boiled detective stories. I much prefer cozy mysteries. 3w
julieclair This was my #BookedInTime pick for August. @Cuilin 3w
AlaMich I‘m a big fan of this series, though I think the books set only in ‘30s Berlin before and during the war are the more interesting. 3w

Cuilin Ugh, this time period is rough. Congratulations for finishing it. I‘m thinking of DNFing mine. I also like my mysteries cozy!! (edited) 2w
julieclair @AlaMich I haven‘t read any of the others. I knew this one was #5 in the series, but it worked well as a stand-alone. 2w
julieclair @Cuilin It is definitely rough. And I was surprised how little I really knew about it. As with almost all #BookedInTime books, I learned a lot. 2w

I spent some time researching this one as it‘s not a location or period I‘ve read much about. I recommend Story of the Night by Colm Tóibín. I‘m still deciding what to read. Thoughts?

Singout Have you looked at “Bad Girls” by Camilla Sosa Villada? I found that compelling. 1mo

rwmg You might enjoy this one about what happened to Evita Peron's body after her death: 1mo
Cuilin @Suet624 Agreed!!!! 1mo
Cuilin @rwmg macabre but certainly intriguing 🤔 I guess it all adds to the myth and mystery of her life. 1mo
Amiable @rwmg Intriguing! 1mo
Itchyfeetreader I am so far behind on this challenge this year and this is a super intriguing prompt ! 1mo
Cuilin @Itchyfeetreader oh there‘s no pressure here. I‘m a mood reader so even though certain prompts are assigned to particular months I just read a prompt whenever the mood hits. Though I am intrigued by this one 1mo
AllDebooks I have picked about 4 books for this. But now I want Toibin as well. 📚 1mo
Cuilin @AllDebooks oh share your four books, please 🙏 1mo
AllDebooks Out of timeline but it's been on my tbr forever 1mo
Cuilin @AllDebooks thank you. These look great, especially In Patagonia. Just added to my TBR. 🤦‍♀️ 1mo
Mollyanna I was thinking about The Real Odessa but now I‘m intrigued by the Toibin book. 1mo
BarbaraBB I can highly recommend all books by Claudia Piñeiro for example 1mo
Cuilin @BarbaraBB Looks great. Thanks for the recommendation. 1mo
Cuilin @julieclair I‘ll be interested to hear your thoughts on that one. 1mo

So much to choose from: poetry, graphic novels, mythology, retellings, travelogues, seriously the list is endless so it begs the question what will you read?

LitStephanie How does bookedintime work? Is there a schedule of prompts for the whole year? 2mo
Cuilin @LitStephanie hi, I tagged you in another post for the schedule and explanation. Would you like me to add you to the tag list? 2mo
Cuilin @Amiable I loved that book and reconciling that with the author‘s abuses is difficult. 😞 2mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @Amiable @Cuilin I have had it on my shelf for years and each time I pick it up I just think about how awful she is and can't get myself to read it. 2mo
ChaoticMissAdventures I think I am finally going to tackle 2mo
rubyslippersreads @ChaoticMissAdventures One of my favorites. 👑 2mo
Bookwormjillk I need to find something still. This is not a time I know much about so I don't have any go to titles. 2mo
Amiable @ChaoticMissAdventures @Cuilin Monstrous. ☹️ My niece struggles to reconcile her love and absolute devotion to the Harry Potter series against the horribleness that is JK Rowling as well. 😖 2mo
Cuilin @Amiable yeah, another tough one. I loved that series too. My daughters were huge fans. Ugh 😩 2mo
julieclair I think I‘m going to read 2mo
AllDebooks I am going with one of these, still haven't settled on one, as per usual. Tolkein's The Fall of Arthur, The Once and Future King or 2mo
Cuilin @julieclair both look great. 👍 2mo
Cuilin @AllDebooks I have Le Fay ready to go as I just read Morgan is My Name but I also own 2mo
AllDebooks @Cuilin I read Morgannis my name and immediately bought Le Fay. So good! There's so much to choose from this month. 📚📚📚 2mo

Nope. Not for me. Too weird. #HailtheBail #BetterBooksAhead

julieclair This was my choice for the June #BookedInTime prompt, 1800‘s Australia. I‘m going to try this one instead (not in Litsy Catalogue) Search for the Light, by Rosemary Noble. @Cuilin 2mo
Cuilin Yes 🙌 #HailTheBail Hope your next one is more enjoyable. 2mo
kspenmoll Your new choice sounds good. Do you have a kindle/app? It‘s free on kindle ( much as I avoid ordering from Amazon, I still use my kindle) 2mo

dabbe YES! 🤩🤩🤩 2mo
julieclair @kspenmoll Thanks for the kindle hint! Just downloaded it. And I agree about Amazon. I‘m trying to cut down, but boy, it‘s hard sometimes. Every time I make a different choice, I pat myself on the back. 2mo
julieclair @Cuilin Thanks! Fingers crossed!🤞 2mo
julieclair @dabbe 💙💟💙 2mo
kspenmoll @julieclair it is a constant challenge. I am Glad Blackwell‘s is back shipping to the US. It helps. 2mo
julieclair @kspenmoll Thanks for the reminder about Blackwell‘s! I tend to forget about them unless I want to buy a book that‘s unavailable in the US. 2mo

The June prompt for #BookedinTime is Australian colonies 1800s. I have chosen Kate Grenville's exploration of what it means to her to be descended from colonisers.

@Cuilin @dabbe

Cuilin I think this is the one I‘m going to read also. Though I‘m still trying to finish my book from the Spanish Civil War prompt.🤦‍♀️ 3mo
AllDebooks @Cuilin it's very good so far. It would be a great read for #NaturaLitsy too. Her descriptions of landscape are beautiful. I've yet to finish 3mo
Cuilin @AllDebooks Now I‘m really interested. 3mo
