#BookReport
Say Nothing: #nonfiction Goal was 25 pages; read 8
A Christmas Journey: #audiobook:finished. Different than what I expected, themes of the power of words to wound, redemption, & the oppressiveness of English upper class social mores at the time.
Guidebook to Murder: #Mysteryoftheweek: exceeded goal; approx an hour left.
A Noel killing: #HoludayCheer: just started, ph. 29,not projected half way through novel.

Cinfhen I‘ve put Say Nothing in hibernation / I think I need to switch to print 5y

kspenmoll @Cinfhen Sometimes I get distracted with audiobooks. I find it better for me to read print with nonfiction especially. 5y

Cinfhen I usually LOVE NF on audio but I think the sexy accent is too difficult to follow. 😂😂😂 5y

The Disappearance of Alistair Ainsworth: A Daughter of Sherlock Holmes Mystery | Leonard Goldberg

#Book Report #SaturdayDec7 #nonfiction #holidaycheer #mysteryoftheweek
Say Nothing: #nonfiction only got to p. 206
Maigret Chritmas : #holidaycheer finished my first introduction to this series- such fun! His character is great.
The Disappearance of Alistair Ainsworth: #mystery of the week. Don‘t know why I felt compelled to finish- may because I enjoyed other books by the same author. Would not recommend- I found it boring.

Cinfhen So your books balanced each other a yeah and a nah 5y

keithmalek Say Nothing is outstanding. It's one of the best books I've read this year, and the best book I've ever read about the Troubles. 5y

kspenmoll @keithmalek Only on p. 96 but loving it- almost written like a novel. 5y

Reviewsbylola I need to read November Road. I thought Lilli was well done. 5y

Cinfhen Do you read a mystery a week??? I‘m having trouble with that genre lately. Every thriller feels like rinse, wash, repeat. Nothing original 😟any suggestions?? 5y

kspenmoll @Cinfhen I just finished The Scholar by Dervla Mc Tiernan, an author new to me. I enjoyed its themes, particularly the pharmaceutical background. Reminded me of an Deadly Cure, similar themes but set in the early stages (1899) of companies. That one leaves you hanging - author is lawrence Goldstone. 5y

kspenmoll Sometimes I just read cozys when I need a familiar escape from my life!!!! Sharon McCrumb is another author you might enjoy. (edited) 5y

Cinfhen Thanks for the recommendations 😁 5y
