Ruthiella I love Atkinson‘s Jackson Brodie novels. ❤️ 1y
quietjenn @Ruthiella I‘d forgotten how good they are! But, at least that means I can now binge if I want to 😃 1y

pick4th book finished for #FabulousFebruary.
Hard to sum up this book but was a great experience from beginning to end, covering a controversial character, and the most controversial period in his career too. Very enlightening, but you do question very seriously Clough‘s approach when becoming manager at Leeds Utd. It was always likely to end in dramatic failure. Don Revie was living rent free in his head.
Couldn‘t sleep last night so started this non fiction audiobook focusing on Brian Clough and his 44 day managerial period at Leeds United, as well as some of his earlier managerial career.
Enjoying it so far.
pickI enjoyed this little whodunit story with lead detective Kate Shackleton. It‘s book 6 in a series but works as a stand alone (I haven‘t read any of the others.) There were a few things on Kate‘s list to include a missing person, a murder, a lost monkey, another missing person and another murder. Also, a lot of it takes place in a library! A quick read for bookclub and #booked2022 ~ a murder mystery, is now complete!
I love library books. A previous reader penciled in a mistype when a word was left out! 🤣🤣🤣
Soaking up some unusually warm November weather in the hammock with flip flops and the pooch! Book club is on Tuesday and I‘m just getting this one started.
pickChris Nickson loves his home city, and it shows in his writing.

pickThe 18th book that I have read by this author. The books he writes that are set in the 1950s are far less descriptive than those set in the 1800s or earlier. While the story was a nice easy, believable read with some great characters and moderately exciting in parts, the lack of period description was disappointing. Revolving around a Jazz music club and recording artists of the time this was a good, enjoyable crime novel with a violent end.
pickKate Shackleton is asked to trace an illegitimate child given up for adoption. She is also asked to take part in the exorcism of a library reputed to be haunted, during which a body is found in the basement of the library, apparently crushed under falling books.
The rather ominous title did put me off for a bit but it's all good, intriguing fun.
