Lies Sleeping: The Seventh Rivers of London novel | Ben Aaronovitch

pick

How do I rave about a book in this series without saying the same things I said a few days ago about the last one? How about I just highlight my favourite bits:
-Truly delicious show of power from Nightingale shutting up a mouthy lawyer/misbehaving practicioner, got all ominous in a classy way.
- Foxglove! 🥹 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/3 -Gloriously insane action sequence involving the repeated attempts at impediment, and dismemberment of a van, then wrestling inside a moving vehicle whilst dealing with a 'stings on contact' Quality Street tin of piece of vampire (yes you read that correctly).
-Talking fox and cheese puffs!
-The bumblebee warelight! 59m

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 Found myself laughing even more than I can recall from other installments in this series and was very satisfied with the mix of a particular story arc completed and other story threads left dangling tantalizingly. On to the next! 58m

Hello new #BakerStreetIrregulars - unfortunately @CatLass007 and I have decided to end our group after our April discussion - yes, we are still in our infancy but unfortunately I had to consider all of my groups and commitments on Litsy and in life and some things I‘m unable to give the attention they deserve. Thanks to those who have joined us on what we thought was a fun delve into the many mysteries that are out there.

StayCurious @DGRachel @Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead @julieclair @PageShifter @TheAromaofBooks @Read4life @willaful @CarolynM @LiseWorks @CatLass007 11h

Librarybelle Thanks for hosting this! I know I just joined up, but it‘ll be fun to discuss this month‘s book with you and @CatLass007 ! 10h

CatLass007 Thanks, @Librarybelle! It‘s a good idea. All the buddy reads are good ideas. There are just so many, something‘s gotta give. I‘m going to continue exploring the topics on my own as time and finances permit. I‘ll miss the discussions, but I know that Littens are so supportive of one another that discussions will continue informally. 10h

CogsOfEncouragement I‘m really enjoying this first Amelia Peabody story. I had NEVER HEARD of the series. So I thank you for making me aware. I appreciate you making hard decisions about stepping away from good things in order to properly enjoy other good things. Good example to all of us. 💟 9h

Read4life I‘m sorry to see this end but I‘m struggling with all of the buddy read groups I‘m in and I don‘t even run any of them. Thank you both for the time you put into this. 💙💙 7h

julieclair Thank you both, @StayCurious and @CatLass007 , for hosting this very fun group. I often feel like a kid in a candy store with Litsy. There are too many fun things to choose from! But we can‘t do everything, and sometimes real life needs our attention. I applaud your search for balance. 💙 7h

CatLass007 @CogsOfEncouragement @Read4life @julieclair I‘m glad you‘ve enjoyed #BakerStreetIrregulars. I was dimly aware of the Amelia Peabody series but didn‘t know much at all. I‘m enjoying the first book in the series and I‘m happy to share that the first dozen books in the series are free on Audible. I agree that being a Litten is very much like being a kid in a candy store! My Audible wish list is miles long because of Litsy. 6h

Silence in the Library: A Lily Adler Mystery | Katharine Schellman

pick

Lady detective Lily Adler is once again embroiled in a mystery when an old friend of her father‘s is found dead in his study. With old friends & new, Lily plans to unmask the killer & prove her father wrong.

I am really digging this series. The historical setting is really good, & I love the diversity of the cast. The mystery kept me guessing, & Lily‘s determination & cleverness have really won me over. Definitely putting a hold on 3! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Ordinary Human Failings | MEGAN. NOLAN

pick

This was great. One of the better Women Prize books this year. The story of a troubled family slowly unravels. Each person is interesting and tortured in their own way. At the heart of the story is a horrible something, and a terrible reporter. The writing is solid and the book is heavy but intriguing.

BarbaraBB One of my favorites too. 3d

jlhammar I‘ve only gotten to three so far (hoping to start Enter Ghost next), but I‘d love to see this and Brotherless Night on the shortlist. 3d

ChaoticMissAdventures @jlhammar these are 2 of my favorites too! I just finished and loved

Ordinary Human Failings | MEGAN. NOLAN

“If you had the bad luck to be from Ireland, it felt, you had to suck it up and never have sex or else have the baby.”

You could also include 21 states in the U.S. where this now applies as well.

Hooked_on_books I‘m disgusted by our country. Parts of it for fighting for this to happen and other parts for sitting back and letting it when the strategy was clear. I can only hope that, like Ireland, there‘s a popular uprising to restore women‘s reproductive rights. It took too long there and no doubt it‘ll take too long here, but hopefully someday. We‘ve certainly already seen that in the states where the voters were allowed to decide. 3d

Suet624 @Hooked_on_books you‘ve said it all. I agree 100%. 3d

vivastory This is what I found so frustrating when people talked about “it could never happen here.“ I'd always point them in the very recent history w/ Ireland 3d

Amiable Ugh to all of it. It infuriates me. 🤬 3d

Suet624 @vivastory Ireland is better off than the US at this point. 3d

vivastory @Suet624 Yeah, I know things have changed there recently 3d

sarahbarnes Can‘t wait to hear what you think of this one. 3d

JenniferEgnor SCOTUS is hearing the EMTALA case out of Idaho this week. I‘m worried about how they‘ll rule. Hard to believe it‘s 2024 and this is where we‘re at. 3d

Suet624 @JenniferEgnor The Republicans didn‘t allow Obama his right to appoint a Supreme Court judge and then they proceeded to appoint three members who lied to Congress about a woman‘s right to choose as being established law. I have no use for people who vote for Republican candidates after witnessing just how often the Republicans lie and cheat. (edited) 3d
