rubyslippersreads I have so many books on my list, it‘ll be hard to choose. The TV show has gotten me interested in this era. 2w

Cuilin @rubyslippersreads same!!! Spoiled for choice with this one. 2w

Jess861 I was going to read The Personal Librarian for this but I guess it is a year to late, lol 2w

Cuilin @Jess861 The dates are just guidelines. Read it, it‘s so good. 2w

Bookwormjillk Oh my goodness I‘ve barely started last month‘s book. I need an extension on October. 2w

rwmg I do have “Empire“ by Gore Vidal, which has been sitting on my TBR shelves for a while.

Empire: A Novel

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk Extension granted. 😆 I had to DNF one but picked up another and read it in two days

Our Man in Havana (Revised)

Cuilin @rwmg oh wow. Have you read others in the series? 2w

sblbooks I bought this at a library sale a few months back. Perfect timing.

The Last Days of Night: A Novel

Cuilin @sblbooks Yes perfect!!! 2w

Jess861 @Cuilin I've heard good things about the book! I'll read it either way. 2w

ChaoticMissAdventures November I focus on nonfiction so looking for something there I think I might cheat and go to DC with

Bringing Down the Colonel: A Sex Scandal of the Gilded Age, and the "Powerless" Woman Who Took On Washington

rwmg @cuilin Yes, but a long time ago so my memory is a little vague 2w

kspenmoll @ChaoticMissAdventures Your book choice sounds fascinating. I think I will see if my library has it!

Our Woman in Moscow | Beatriz Williams

so-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.

American Spy: A Novel | Lauren Wilkinson

pick

This fascinating book read more like a gripping nonfiction memoir than a novel. A fascinating glimpse into the lives of FBI & CIA agents, and the impact their job had on their morals, ethics, and physical safety (and that of their families) during the Cold War. This was an excellent choice for #BookedInTime #ColdWar @Cuilin

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

American Spy: A Novel

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

The Rebel Nun | Marj Charlier

I decided on The Rebel Nun for #BookedInTime for the #EarlyMedieval theme and it's been sitting on my wishlist since January '24.

Two days ago I'm scrolling through ig and the cover catches my eye on a post from one of my local indie bookstores for an author signing on 9/26. I couldn't believe that not only would I finally get a copy, and meet the author, but that she lives in my city 💞

Now one of these days I'll actually read it 😂

Cuilin

Cuilin There‘s reading books, ordering books, waiting for books, in the mood for a certain book, and organizing books. Different hobbies, all valid!! It‘s time will come. 👊🫶👏 looks good 👍 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @Cuilin 🧡🖤🧡 1mo

MemoirsForMe How cool is that! 1mo
