It took me a year and a half to dive back into the Grishaverse, but I am so glad I did! Alina has my heart forever, because her story is nearly perfection from beginning to end, but the crows are pretty cool too. I do 100% think it resonates with early 30‘s me more than it would have with teen me, though, so that‘s perhaps noteworthy.

And this, right here, is why we read “Shadow and Bone” first.

Monk Nichephoerous‘ dream of Saint Nicholas leads him on a heist to steal the Saint‘s bones. With irreverent and sometimes nihilistic language it still sometimes a little too opaque for me and the style often leaves me feeling detached from the characters.

Found this in my local charity shop! I've been looking for this for ages and it's got red sprayed edges which look so cool

I'm so happy! Always check out charity shops 🤣

Jari-chan How cool is that! 2mo

It was a lighthearted read about the crazy house-heisting capers by a group of indomitable women. Very Downton Abby esc. This is what happens when you upset Mrs King. After years of loyal service, she is let go and she decides to get even. They just didn't see it coming. It is a sweet easy read but it will not set the world on fire or make me dash to read other offerings by Alex Hay.

Witty and intelligent, Nicked weaves a magical story out of historical facts.

Anyone else see this?

Ruthiella I want to know what the book was! 😂😂😂 3mo
Dilara @Ruthiella The Gods at Six O'Clock (Gli dèi alle sei) by Giovanni Nucci. Apparently, when he heard about it, the author offered to send the book to the robber so he could finish it 😂

Edited to add that I got the info from this LT convo: https://www.librarything.com/topic/362836 and to tag the book
(edited) 3mo
Ruthiella @Dilara It must a compelling book! I hope he renounced his life of crime and also finishes the book. 😂 3mo

Dilara @Ruthiella 😁 😂 And also, let's hope that the Netflix series it will no doubt inspire is decent 😉 3mo
Sharpeipup @dilara Thanks for the details! 3mo
MonicaLoves2Read I saw this on FB. I laughed. I may have to read the book to see why the burglar thought it was so good 😂 3mo

This was a charming YA heist of a group of all asexual friends!

While there are a lot of things I like about Las Vegas, the actual casinos are pretty low on the list. 🤣

#SundayFunday Hope you all have a great day and don‘t forget to tag me!

A fun heist. Very Ocean's 8, only set in 1905 and they're robbing a mansion. Some of the character subplots bog the story down a bit, without actually letting us get invested in them, and some characters we barely get to know at all. But overall this was very entertaining. Would make a fun movie for sure.

julesG I think the next book is connected. I hope so anyway. 3mo
Leniverse @julesG I want to know more about the Janes! Are they really sisters? What is Jane 1's real name? What's their story? 3mo
julesG Yes to all of this. That is, I think it's mentioned that they aren't sisters. 🤔 When they are introduced and Mrs King questions that they are blood relatives. 🤔🤔 3mo
Leniverse @julesG She thinks they aren't sisters because they are too studiously alike, but nothing is confirmed or denied. I'm reluctant to trust in Mrs King's perceptions, she definitely has blind spots 😂 3mo
julesG Oh right. Blind spots make great plot devices though. Let's hope we find out about the Janes in the next book. 3mo
