Mehso-so

FINALLY finished a #nonfictionbookabouttechnology for #readharder. This uses the same narrative device as The Devil in the White City — a crime juxtaposed with a historical event (the invention of wireless messaging by sea)— but it wasn‘t as good. The connection between the two was pretty flimsy and the technology part was dull. I fell asleep listening to the ending three times and had to rewind & relisten. 🤦‍♀️

Cinfhen ☹️at least it put you to sleep 😴 7y
alisahar @Cinfhen granted, I was listening to it on four hours of sleep while riding trains and buses for hours so it might not have been totally the book‘s fault.. 7y
Lea I‘m reading it for an assigned book you hated - it was a book club pick a few years ago I never finished, and now I remember why 😫 7y

Jenshootsweddings This was a good, classic haunted house gothic undertone style horror 8y
Lindy For #lgbtqromancenovel maybe this not-overly-sweet classic: 8y
bookwrm526 I read this one for my romance - it's categorized as romance, and there are some sexy times, but there's also a police procedural mystery to distract from the sexy times if you don't care for them 8y
brilliantglow @britt_brooke thanks! I think I could probably read that and not get bored. 👍 8y
brilliantglow @TheNextBook nope! Lol I've seen that movie a couple times. There's no way I want to read the book. I'm such a wimp when it comes to horror. 8y
brilliantglow @Jenshootsweddings ohhh actually I've heard if this one when it came out, and decided it might be too creepy. But maybe I will give it a chance. 8y
brilliantglow @Lindy thank you! That sounds perfect! 8y
brilliantglow @bookwrm526 thanks! That sounds like it would be an interesting read as well! 8y
brilliantglow @broomperson I've heard of Nick Cutters the Troops, might be a little too #freezerworthyhorror for me. Lol 8y
