#WhereAreYouMonday I'm in 1790s England in the tagged book, 1670s Netherlands in The Black Tulip, 1600s Spain for Don Quixote, and 1810s Ireland for The Wild Irish Girl. Tragically, only one of these books is gay. Also a rare week when I'm not in WW1...

The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club: A Novel | Helen Simonson

#WhereAreYouMonday I'm in post WWI England - twice, since I'm also reading The Secret Adversary. It's a rough time but perhaps things are looking up.

Today I find myself in 1920s New York City. Optimism is in the air. The war to end all wars is over and Black Americans have more opportunity than ever in the North.

TheBookHippie One of my favorite Morrisons! 3d

Ruthiella @TheBookHippie I‘m on a mission to read all her novels! 3d

Ruthiella @TheBookHippie I don‘t know if any will top Beloved, the only one I‘ve read twice (so far). After this one I have four more to go. 3d

Ruthiella @TheBookHippie Do you have a favorite? Or top three? 🤔 3d

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella The Bluest Eye, Jazz & Song of Solomon. 3d

Billypar I really liked this one, though Beloved is at the top of my list too. Paradise is my 2nd favorite. The Bluest Eye is on my shelf so will finally read it this year. 3d

Ruthiella @Billypar Paradise will come after Jazz because I also own a copy. That‘s encouraging to hear it is a favorite of yours. I read The Bluest Eye in the ‘90s, so I really need to revisit it. 3d

I'm in Yorkshire where Bethan (who works at a garden center) and Lachlan are getting to know each other in an unusual way. And NYC where Iris is trying to help Gio save his family's gelateria while keeping some very big secrets from him. I'm bracing myself for the fallout.

I'm at a destination wedding in Cabo, finding out who killed a bride and groom before they could make it down the aisle.

Fourth Wing (Special Edition) | Rebecca Yarros

Still very much in Navarre with Violet, Xaden, and the rest. There are many scenes I think are very well done, and I'm invested in the characters. But I still think this book could have been trimmed by 100 pages or more. Tightening the story would have shot this chunkster from good to over the moon engaging, IMHO. Does anyone else feel that way? Or am I an outlier?

Butterfinger I think there are way too many characters. 1w
