Whose Body? | Dorothy Sayers

bailed

Lord Peter Wimsey is too long-winded to follow any of his deductions. This man loves a soliloquy. Also, the random singing is weird.

First DNF of the year. I wanted to like this book because I love a good old school style whodunit.

willaful I think he gets more interesting in the later books. 6h

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

I find it interesting to learn about authors who take over other another author‘s series once the original author has died.
This annotation came up on page 56 in reference to ‘Lord Attenbury‘s emeralds‘ which was in reference to Lord Peter Wimsey‘s first case.

Whose Body? | Dorothy Sayers

I'm glad to be back home after the holidays. A tired Pixel is helping me read the tagged book. It's interesting, but the flowery language makes it a little hard to parse out what exactly is happening.

Librariana Glad you have such adorable company 💕 ☺️ 15h

My January #Bookspin and #Doublespin picks!
I am very excited for Lost Story, which I bought a few months ago and is one of @xicanti 's #ALSpine picks!
Whose Body? is for #AuthorAMonth and I'm looking forward to trying out another older mystery writer, as Agatha Christie is a favorite
@monalyisha @Soubhiville @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! I ended up kind of ambivalent towards Whose Body? I read the second book and it was also so-so for me. I have the third book on my shelf already and I'm going to read it this month to decide whether or not Lord Peter is for me!! I've had so many people tell me that the books get better as they go on 😂 1d

peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks thanks for letting me know! I'll keep that in mind. I'll have to check in with you later this month and see how the third one goes for you lol 21h

Whose Body? | Dorothy Sayers

bailed

And, my first book of 2025 is a DNF. 😂 Tried this one for #Authoramonth, but just couldn't get into the dated language, etc. Not usually an issue for me - I adore Sherlock Holmes - but I long ago decided that if a book doesn't grab me quickly, I move on. On to other things until February! @Soubhiville

The Ultimate Reading Challenge: Complete a Goal, Open an Envelope, and Reveal Your Bookish Prize! | Weldon Owen

Help a Litten out! I'm wanting to get back into reading challenges this year but I'm having a hard time figuring out what Litsy is hosting these days. It looks like a few I used to do aren't active anymore. Are there any I should know about? (I'm planning to do #bookspin with @TheAromaofBooks and #agathachristieclubR3 with @Librarybelle, of course!)

Picture of my dog's dumb teeth for tax!

TheAromaofBooks I'm participating in - #Pantone2025 and #FourFoursin25 with @lauredhel
- #WickedWords with @AsYouWish
- #Roll100 and #GottaCatchEmAll with @PuddleJumper
- #FictionalTraveler and #ReadorDonate with @julieclair
and my own other challenges, #ISpyBingo and #BookChain

Have you checked @LitsyEvents ? That account does a great job reposting all kinds of shenanigans!! 2d

Ruthiella You can follow @LitsyEvents for reposts of all the challenges, etc. Good luck! 😃 2d

AmyG There is #authoramonth @soubhiville where one reads 1+ books from that specific author for the month. #TBRTarot is where a card is chosen and you pick a corresponding book. #readyourkindle is like Bookspin but just for ereaders. Last two are with @Cbee (edited) 2d

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

This cover freaks me out every time I open my kindle, ( the shape of the face!), but I‘m enjoying the maps and hyperlinks with annotations. #AuthorAMonth
