One of my favorite things about Miss Fisher‘s Murder Mysteries is Phryne‘s fabulous wardrobe! The 1920s is my favorite time period in general, but for clothes especially.
fabulous frocks flow
freely from Phryne‘s fantastic
form — flatteringly.

Flappers, bootleggers,
gangsters — oh my! Take me back
for a roaring good time.
If I could travel back in time, I‘d choose the Roaring Twenties. It‘s my favorite decade to read about. I love the clothes and the decade of excess following WWI. What would be your pick?

so-soDefinitely a solid book with things to say about class and sexuality.
#Fitz reads 📚 The Beautiful and Damned was the best out of the bunch. 🩷

Tan Twan Eng creates settings and characters like no one else.
I loved the Penang setting again, as I did all characters who are each so lovable in their own way. The plot is great too, the sorrow of times past beneath it all.
Tan deserves the Booker Prize, even though this is not my favorite book of his.

pick78/150 An interesting look at one of the pivotal years in American history. While the author does stray from his subject at times, he does detailed work discussing the causes that led to monumental events of 1920, and also discusses the ramifications those events had on future generations. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ 1/2
3/15 for #Rushathon (I'm behind my pace) @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65
My read tonight
so-soThis was okay. I found the two main characters' special abilities to not be developed well (like why do they have them and do other people?). The female audiobook narrator sounded too young and silly and I don't think this represents the character well.
