pickI liked this book. You can see the glimmers of the man Cork will become and the forces that shaped him into that man. I couldn‘t understand though why it took so long for Cork‘s father, Liam, to question a particular suspect who seemed obvious to me from pretty early on. #audiowalk

This was written in 1975! 😱 How can you not love a late-Victorian-self-sufficient-no-nonsense-badass female archaeologist protagonist who travels to Egypt in search of antiquarian objects and the freedom to do as she pleases? Throw in some worthy sidekicks and adversaries as well as a mummy-run-amok, and you have one heckuva fun historical detective read. I see more Amelia Peabody in my future.
1. I redid my bookcases and put my TBR shelves near each other. Top shelf also includes favorites that I‘ve kept.
2. I‘m at Malice Domestic! That TBR list is CRYING after a “speed dating with authors” session.
3. Live performance of Grieg piano concerto. Very dramatic!
4. Two ballgames with drastically different outcomes but fun to hang out with my “summer family.”
5. Book club outing at a brewery in a bucolic setting.

pickI have read the two easy versions for students. Unfortunately, the Macmillan one is not available in Switzerland anymore. I had to use the BlackCat one. Both of them do have tasks for the students to solve, but the BlackCat ones disrupt the flow of reading because the task are before and after thr chapters. Sometimes I could not find the novel‘s text anymore between. 🤦♀️
pickReady for another #NoPlaceLikeHolmes discussion.

Thunderstorms woke me early this morning so I got up. Coffee in hand, I delved into this book and am about 30% read.
This series isn't groundbreaking but it's an enjoyable read with an unique investigator-Harland is a investigator with the National Parks Service.
This series is fun and it's a great way to wrap up a staycation week.
