I had to read Shogun to understand the
"Whys?" of the series. I loved it. Although, it was Japanese historical fiction through the eyes of a white man. I need to read Musashi, written by Murakami, about the same time period. The penny dreadfuls pop out - Dracula, Frankenstein (I remember being so surprised at this-I had been influenced way too much by Hollywood), and The Picture of Dorian Grey. #TLT @dabbe
I have been waiting to read this one… super excited for this month‘s #suprisebook !
pickThe hype is real, y'all. A tense, multiple timeline thriller that had me suspecting every character who was not an inspector of being responsible for Bear's and Barbara's disappearances.
pickSo this seemed timely, and I thought it was fascinating. I've read that the details are accurate as to what happens in a conclave, and the author includes a bibliography at the end. I enjoyed the insiders' view, and the plot twists and turns kept me guessing. I'll have to watch the movie next!

pickTaking place in Tudor England in 1545, Matthew Shardlake is approached by his patron, Queen Catherine Parr, to investigate alleged wrongdoings of a ward at a rural estate in Hampshire. As Shardlake delves into the case, he uncovers dark secrets, including abuse, corruption, and long-buried scandals, all while the shadow of war with France looms in the background. A fascinating, harrowing, and extremely well-researched read.
