Whale Fall | Elizabeth O'Connor
post image
Pickpick

I devoured this book! O‘Connor writes a descriptive and cautionary tale of declining island life on a fictitious island off the coast of Britain in 1938. Does a deceased whale washed up on shore bring good or bad tidings? Manod, the MC, narrates a few months of life on the island, when the whale and soon after two British strangers arrive. Beautifully written. #LiteraryCrew

With today‘s last story in the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes discussion group, I read the entire Holmes canon. Thanks to @dabbe and @Cuilin for leading the group.

This final collection of Holmes stories hints at Conan Doyle‘s almost reluctance to write more. Some are good, and some are not up to the caliber of prior stories. Yet, I liked the collection overall. A good way to spend a half hour reading one story at a time. #CatsOfLitsy #Xander #SebastianKitty

Susanita I want to scritch that kitty between his ears. 😻 4w
rubyslippersreads ❤️ to see kitties reading. 😸 4w
Cuilin Agreed, I liked the collection too even if they were not as good as previous stories and novels. 4w

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd | Agatha Christie
post image

Dinner and a movie this evening was the episode of Poirot based on this month‘s book. A good way to prepare for the discussion tomorrow! Questions will be posted before 12pm US East Coast time. Looking forward to it!

Ruthiella I love the adaptations with David Suchet. 😍 1mo
Librarybelle @Ruthiella They are so good! 1mo
Aims42 Ooooo this looks like a great Saturday night! I agree with @Ruthiella 😁 (edited) 1mo

Librarybelle @Aims42 I need to watch all the Poirot episodes at some point! Suchet is the best Poirot, IMO. 1mo
Aims42 @Librarybelle Yes, totally agree with you!! He IS Poirot for me lol I know some are on the PBS‘ Passport app and I think I saw some on Amazon Prime? (edited) 1mo
dabbe No other Poirot but Suchet!!! 🖤🐾🖤 1mo
JenlovesJT47 Ooh I‘m going to have to track down this episode! 1mo
Librarybelle @Aims42 They‘re also on either AcornTV or BritBox. I have few episodes, like this one, from discarded DVDs from library collections. 1mo
Librarybelle Definitely worth a track down, @JenlovesJT47 ! 1mo
Aims42 @Librarybelle Oooooo!! Thank you for that source too!! I‘ll have to look into that 😚🤩 1mo
suvata Great find 1mo
Librarybelle You‘re welcome, @Aims42 ! 1mo
Librarybelle Thanks, @suvata ! 1mo
BarbaraJean Yay! I found the changes they made for this adaptation SO interesting. In advance of our viewing together, my book group wondered how some of the elements would work on screen, since the book relies so heavily on Dr. Sheppard's perspective. And some changes felt weird, but for the most part it made sense to adjust things the way this version does. 1mo
Librarybelle Agreed, @BarbaraJean . I think the changes worked in order to adapt it to the small screen. 1mo
MariaW 💕💕💕 1mo
MallenNC I watched this today. I thought the changes mostly worked for a TV audience but the ending in the shootout was a little over the top for me. 1mo
Librarybelle @MallenNC It seemed a little off…totally agree! 1mo
MallenNC @Librarybelle Definitely something a TV writer thought it needed! 1mo

Xander inspecting my weekly #libraryhaul . He‘s probably wondering if I will actually open any of these books, or if they will sit in a neat stack on my dresser. 😂

Any must reads from the stacks? I know Woodworking has received lots of love.

CBee Woodworking is EXCELLENT ♥️👏🏻 1mo
Librarybelle @CBee With all of the positive remarks about it, I totally had FOMO and had to request it! 😂 1mo

Under a Painted Sky | Stacey Lee
post image
Pickpick

I think this is my favorite by Lee—a moving story about friendship, set on the Oregon Trail. It‘s beautifully written, with diverse characters and tackling the issue of prejudice for a YA audience deftly. #SundayBuddyRead #Xander #CatsOfLitsy

Murder on Cape Cod | Maddie Day
post image
Mehso-so

The first in a series set on Cape Cod, this one had a lot going on…and not all in a good way. Lots of nonessential info that could not even be described as red herrings. I‘d say more, but it may be considered spoilerish. Let‘s just say it‘s confusing. #Xander #CatsOfLitsy

The Paris Express | Emma Donoghue
post image
Pickpick

Laced with suspense, this is based on a true story…the photo at the back of the book shows the aftermath of the event described. Donoghue tells the story from the perspective of multiple characters, before real and fictional characters, including an anarchist with a deadly plot in mind. And, the train engine is a character—don‘t worry, the train‘s perspective actually adds depth to the story. Fast read! #SebastianKitty #Zeke #Xander #CatsOfLitsy

kspenmoll I think I have this book-somewhere?! Your babies!!! (edited) 3mo
Librarybelle @TheBookHippie This one felt a little different from others I‘ve read by her. I liked the multiple viewpoints, and there was an underlying sense of doom. 3mo
Librarybelle @dabbe @kspenmoll Vladimir was also in the room, but burrowed under the covers on his favorite chair! A nice afternoon with the boys. ❤️ 3mo
tpixie I thought that using the train as the omniscient narrator was a unique experience. I did enjoy this book. https://www.youtube.com/live/u5NoIC3JarQ?si=km8gbogbVlOzMpQL 3mo

Wives and Daughters | Elizabeth Gaskell
post image

To say my reading has been erratic and at times nonexistent the last few months is an understatement, and yet I persevere and start more books! 😂

Gaskell‘s writing is amazing, and thanks to #HashtagBrigade I can finally move Wives and Daughters to the “currently reading” stack.

#Zeke , #SebastianKitty , and #Xander are resting after food (and the first pill of the day for Zeke). #CatsOfLitsy
