Whose Body? | Dorothy Sayers

I am happy that #AuthorAMonth gave me an excuse to finally read this book that has been on my Kindle for probably more than a decade. However, I am not loving it as much as I expected. Is it just me?
@Soubhiville

TheBookHippie I BAILED 😅😵‍💫🤷🏻‍♀️😩🤪 10h

Read4life It‘s not just you. 😣 10h

inthegreensandblues I think I'm going to bail on this book too. I cannot get into it! 9h

Leniverse It's definitely one of the weaker ones. Sayers got better with practice. I suggest moving on to book 2 instead. Clouds of Witness. It has more of a drawing room feel to it. Everybody's gathered and someone gets murdered, and Lord Peter has to manage his family (as one of them is the main suspect) 8h

Soubhiville It seems a lot of folks don‘t love it. Mentions of some problematic mindsets indicative of the era it was written. But it‘s short so most people seem to be powering through it. 7h

dariazeoli What a relief that I‘m not alone on this ship. I didn‘t like it much, either! 4h

tpixie I‘m slugging along. ChatGPT says Gaudy Night is her masterpiece, but that maybe one should read Strong Poison 1st to better understand the development of Wimsey and Vane‘s relationship. 40m

Whose Body? | Dorothy Sayers

pan

Lord Peter Wimsey is definitely no Sherlock Holmes, despite his comment that he feels like Holmes as he works to solve the mystery. Thank god for audiobooks as I‘m not sure I would‘ve finished the book if I‘d read the physical text. I found that the flow of the book wasn‘t the greatest and the ending was quite abrupt. I may give the next book in the series a try just to see if the writing improves. #AuthorAMonth

The Complete, Annotated Whose Body? | Dorothy L. Sayers

Pg 205 (Part 1)

Fox Hunting 🦊 Yuck! 😡
It was banned in Scotland in 2002 and the rest of United Kingdom in 2005
Incredible it took that long to band it sounds so cruel. #AuthorAMonth

Soubhiville

Soubhiville Yes truly terrible. 15h

tpixie @Soubhiville I remember hearing that these fox hunts were horrible, but I just thought it was because it was unfair that they use dogs and horses to chase a fox instead of just walking. It was so much worse…. 13h

bookishbitch What did Oscar say? 3h

tpixie @bookishbitch lol 😂 I‘ll post it and tag you!! After I posted that I thought well I kind of left that hanging… 3h

Whose Body? | Dorothy L. Sayers

Had a doctors appt today so decided to take a full “mental health” day from work, treat myself to brunch and a mani, and start in on my #AuthorAMonth pick on audio.

Peter Wimsey‘s gleeful singing about dead bodies & murder investigations is…something else. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

@Soubhiville thanks so much for the #authoramonth winners box! I‘ve been looking forward to the Nicole Chung and Stephen Graham Jones (and have an excuse to read them sooner now having physical copies) - and the rest will be read in their appropriate months later this year. Much appreciated, friend! 🥰📚📬💕

My Favorite Authors | Thomas Costley

We‘re halfway through January already #AuthorAMonth readers. I hope you‘re enjoying your time with Dorothy L Sayers.

If you want to start thinking about February you may want to put a hold or order in for your Roxane Gay books. I highly recommend watching some of her interviews at various author events on YouTube as well. I‘ll post links to one or two in February. Happy Reading! 📚🙂❤️
