pickI listened to this book and there are so many passages I wish I could go back and read. Everyone needs this book. Having the author narrate on the audio was an added bonus, and I have not gotten Vargas‘s story out of my head all week.
so-soToo many uninteresting sections and too many cliches for this to be a pick. I really did want to like it because I have liked McDermid‘s writing in the past, but this just didn‘t do it for me. #audiowalk
Well, about 80% in, something happened that made me care about what‘s going on in this book, so I will finish it. I‘ve only got an hour and a half left, so I‘ll probably be done tomorrow. I may start Make Trouble early for #SheSaid. #audiowalk
Oh, yippee. Now we have my other least favorite thing to read about in fiction — terrorism. I also haven‘t made up my mind if I like our heroine, Allie. I‘m not even sure she is our heroine, even though the series is named after her, because I feel as if we get a whole lot more of Danny. Maybe the series should be his. #audiowalk
Just started this for my new #audiowalk book. I didn‘t get that far into it because my walk was short, but I‘ve liked other Val McDermid books, so we‘ll see.
pickmade me realise the heart of coutry where i grew up
pickAll the stars for this one.
Journalism from inside Russia, from environmental disasters, corruption and the Beslan massacre, denial id LGBT+ rights, ongoing state-sanctioned incarceration of mental health patients, the abandonment of rural communities, failures in supporting indigenous communities, and of course Ukraine.
They ask. Are you ready? Of course I am.
But really, it is impossible to be ready for being the fascists, I was not ready for this at all.
