pickThere is so much you can say about this one & my thoughts are so scattered…it‘s excellent. I‘ll start there. Set in a prison in 1945, this is the story of a prisoner (also a poet) & a guard (also a censor). The guard is murdered & what follows is a murder mystery but it‘s more than that. This fictionalized account of the life of one of Korea‘s foremost poets is about words, poetry, books, freedom, war, hope, truth, guilt, & much more. Very good.
Totally @robinb's fault. 😁 I had to go and find out the novella is free with Audible subscription.

pickThis is a short story/novella following the 4th in the Raven and Fisher mysteries. Raven and Fisher race to solve the mysterious death of one of their mentor‘s patients before his detractors can find a way to destroy his career with it.
This was a fine (very short) story to fill in until the next full-length novel (which is already out). I‘m so behind. 😩 4/5⭐️
bailedI rarely bail, but 24% in and I simply cannot continue. This book was not written for me. It has some great reviews, but 🤷🏼
I've got about a dozen of these books from the series but haven't read them as yet.

She supposed few women ever set foot here, least of all women dressed as police officers.
Rebeiro led her into the dormitory wing.
They passed an open doorway. Turning her head, she saw young men engaged in the time-honoured biblical pursuit of ping-pong, hopping around in their robes and thrashing at a white ball with wooden racquets.
I've got a long list of books I've started and should be finishing, but instead I've picked this new one up from the library...
Day 3 word for #OminousOctober is Candles
Corpse Candle - lights resembling candles which were said to appear on the old 'corpse roads' (old burial routes in England) & were harbingers of impending death.
This book is from the Hugh Corbett series by Paul Doherty set in the 14th century. It's a brilliant series if you like historical mysteries.
