We listened to John Scalzi on our trip to the beach. I switched to The Queens of Crime for my #audiowalk, and then I sat, relaxed, and read The Long Walk. This is my favorite type of weather. ❤️

I love novels with strong female characters. And when you can make the women varied in ages and personality and show that they can get along and solve a murder? Even better. Set in the 1930s and focusing on the death of a young nurse, five female mystery writers join forces to solve her murder when the police seem ready to write it off as nothing but an unfortunate accident.

I wasn't blown away by this, but it may have been more me than the book. I had to read most of it while my partner was in the hospital for a procedure; constant interruptions and distractions (he's doing well, BTW). I almost wish I could re-read it while curled up in a chair. I enjoyed the relationships among the writers and the look at the plight of "surplus" women in the period between the world wars.

Today‘s Prompt: DREAM

Who wouldn‘t want to own a bookshop?  That is a “dream” job.

I loved this. The alternating chapters, with each one focused on one of the four sisters or their adoptive mother, were done really well. I love a good character driven story, and in this we get five wonderful character studies. I will definitely be on the lookout for more from this author.

I'm just starting this one. Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Baroness Emma Orczy, and Margery Allingham all band together to solve a real murder to prove that they're equal to, or better than, the authors in the "boys' club" who don't accept them. So far, good character development and lots of 1930s period charm. Reading for a book discussion later this week.

“Why would I want a bite of your burger? I have my own.”

“Sorry, I‘m not used to having food all to myself.”

Every mother can relate!
