Reading this for HRCYED subgenres prompt and I'm not sure I can weather the sexist writing to enjoy the story.

"She was a blonde woman of a few more years than thirty. Her facial prettiness was perhaps five years past its best moment."

Feminist rage piqued.

BekaReid I just recently read this and could barely push through it. 17h

RaeLovesToRead @BekaReid Does the story at least get better??! 17h

BekaReid @RaeLovesToRead short answer : No. (I kept reading with hopes of some redeeming qualities, but I was not impressed. Reflecting back I should have bailed!) 13h

RaeLovesToRead @BekaReid At least it's short..... why have all my Goodreads friends 5-starred this highly iffy book?!?!?! 12h

AUTUMN CHILLS | Agatha Christie

so-so

My first Agatha Christie because I needed an autumn cover.

I've watched all of the adaptations so it was interesting to read the source material. I approve of the TV series inserting Hastings into everything.

Faranae TV show Hastings is also a huge improvement over book Hastings. Honestly, I like the Suchet Poirot better than the books (yes, yes, pillory me!). 1d

OutsmartYourShelf I've got this one but not got around to reading it yet. Nice autumn cover. 1d

OutsmartYourShelf @Faranae Honestly, same here. 1d

PuddleJumper @Faranae Good Lord! 😂 1d

LiteraryinPA Does this one go by a different name, I wonder? I haven‘t heard of it before. Hopefully that means I‘ve found a new one to read! She‘s one of my favorite authors. 1d

CSeydel @LiteraryinPA I was wondering that, too. 1d

PuddleJumper @LiteraryinPA @CSeydel It's a collection of short stories. It might be a new collection as there's also a winter one 1d

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Reading the Oct Encyclopedia Brown for #EBBR during #HyggeHour tonight & with my extra time, more of Miss Caroline Bingley, Private Investigator (which is quite charming & fun so far).

Listening to this soundtrack: pov: you‘re Meg Ryan: (for the fall & pretending you are in a 90‘s romcom) that I‘ll link ⬇️

Snacks are this iced tisane (it‘s still hot & humid here) & fall popcorn. Mood: not ready for Monday!

Here‘s my review for the book I read for the #pastichebr. The #litsyirregulars book club is reading books that are inspired by Sherlock Holmes. It‘s hosted by @dabbe & @Cuilin . Everyone is welcome to join us. We finished reading the Sherlock Holmes stories together this year and it was so fun.

A satisfying second installment in the DCI Banks series. I love the setting in England and the descriptions of scenery and main characters. I will continue to part 3!

The House of Silk: A Sherlock Holmes Novel | Anthony Horowitz

I started this book last night because I‘m participating in the #pastichebr with the #litsyirregulars book club and I don‘t know what to think about this book. I‘ve never read this author before but it feels like it was written in the same style as the Sherlock Holmes stories. I liked the stories but I don‘t know if I like this or not. Maybe it‘s because I‘m comparing this to the stories but it‘s hard not to compare them.

dabbe I'm starting it this week! 🧡💜💛 2w
